Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Reactors use uranium for nuclear fuel. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together onto sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam.

Light waves are electromagnetic waves that travel at 3.00 Light waves are electromagnetic waves that travel 108 m/s. The eye is

svlad2 [7]

(a) $5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$

The relationship between frequency and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by

$c=f \lambda$

where

$c=3.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$f$ is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

In this problem, we are considering light with wavelength of

$\lambda=5.50 \cdot 10^{-7} m$

Substituting into the equation and re-arranging it, we can find the corresponding frequency:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3.00 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{5.50 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$

(b) $1.83\cdot 10^{-15} s$

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

And using $f=5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$ as we found in the previous part, we can find the period of this wave:

$T=\frac{1}{5.45 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=1.83\cdot 10^{-15} s$

In a Young's double-slit experiment the separation distance y between the second-order bright fringe and the central bright frin

atroni [7]

Answer:

Y = 0.0254 m = 25.4 mm

Explanation:

The formula for the fringe spacing in Young's Double-slit experiment is given by the following formula:

$Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}$

where,

Y = fringe spacing = 0.0176 m

λ = wavelength = 425 nm = 4.25 x 10⁻⁷ m

L = Distance between screen and slits

d = slit separation

Therefore,

$\frac{0.0176\ m}{4.25\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m} = \frac{L}{d}\\\\\frac{L}{d} = 41411.76$

Now, for:

λ = 614 nm = 6.14 x 10⁻⁷ m

$Y = (6.14\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(41411.76)\\$
