How does energy affect wavelength

Physics

Answer:

The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. As the frequency decreases, the wavelength gets longer.

the answer would be "screw and lever!", thats the answer because the middle is made into a rod of metal rapped in metal to screw into the cork, and the lever part is the two handles on the side to lift it out of the bottle.

Given a 10-V power supply, would a 20-ohm resistor and a 5-ohm resistor need to be arranged in parallel or in series to generate

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Explanation:

We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.

We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.

Using ohm's law we have

V = I*R

V= voltage

I= current

R= resistance

10 = 2.5*R

R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm

that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.

since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2}\\ = \frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{1+4}{20} =\frac{1}{4}$

R(net) =4ohm

Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.

we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.

We know that the voltage in parallel remains same

In 20 ohm resistance

again using ohms law

V = i1*R1

10 = i1*20

i1 = 0.5A

in 5ohm resistor

V=i2*R2

10 = I2*5

i2 =2A

and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.

Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, $p=\hbar k$

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

$y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]$ ...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

$p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}$ ............(2)

From equation (1),

$k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}$

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

$p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }$

Since, $\dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar$

$p=\hbar k$

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is $\hbar k$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.
