What is the wavelength of visible light emitted at 4.2 x 10^8 Answer in units of M

Physics
1 answer:
Ber [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

0.714 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf......................... Equation 1

Where v = velocity of visible light, f = frequency of visible light, λ = wave length of visible light.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f.................. Equation 2

Given: f = 4.2×10⁸ Hz

Note: Light is an electromagnetic wave, and all electromagnetic waves travels with the same speed (3×10⁸ m/s)

Constant: v = 3×10⁸ m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 3×10⁸/4.2×10⁸

λ = 0.714 m

Calculate the mass (in SI units) of (a) a 160 lb human being; (b) a 1.9 lb cockatoo. Calculate the weight (in English units) of
kondaur [170]

Explanation:

1. Force applied on an object is given by :

F = W = mg

(a) A 160 lb human being, F = 160 lb

g = acceleration due to gravity, g = 32 ft/s²

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{160\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 5 kg

(b) A 1.9 lb cockatoo, F = 1.9 lb

m=\dfrac{F}{g}

m=\dfrac{1.9\ lb}{32\ ft/s^2}

m = 0.059 kg

2. (a) A 2300 kg rhinoceros, m = 2300 kg

W=2300\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=73600\ lb

(b) A 22 g song sparrow, m = 22 g = 0.022 kg

W=0.022\ kg\times 32\ ft/s^2=0.704\ lb

Hence, this is the required solution.

A heavy rope, 80 ft long and weighing 32 lbs, hangs over the edge of a building 100 ft high. how much work w is done in pulling
allochka39001 [22]
The first thing you should know for this case is that work is defined as the product of force by the distance traveled in the direction of force.
 We have then:
 W = Fd
 The distance varies, so we must integrate:
 from 0 to 20:
 W = ∫F (x) dx
 W = ∫32xdx
 W = 32∫xdx
 W = 32 (x ^ 2/2) = (16) (20 ^ 2) = 6400 ft * lbs
 answer:
 6400 ft * lbs is work done pulling the rope up 20 ft

A student is holding a stone at a certain height. The stone has 50 joules of potential energy and 0 joules of kinetic energy. Th
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

d) The stone will have about 50 joules of kinetic energy and 0 joules of potential energy​ .

Explanation:

Given :

Initial Potential energy , P_i=50\ J .

Initial Kinetic energy , K_i=0\ J . ( because ball is in rest )

Now , we know , kinetic energy is maximum when an object reaches ground .

Also , potential energy is zero when an object is in ground .

We know , by conservation of energy :

Initial total energy = Final total energy

P_i+K_i=P_f+K_f\\\\50+0=0+K_f\\\\K_f=50 \ J

Therefore , option d) is correct .

Objects can be charged by the transfer of electrons.<br> True<br> False
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Whenever electrons are transferred between objects, neutral matter becomes charged. For example, when atoms lose or gain electrons they become charged particles called ions. Three ways electrons can be transferred are conduction, friction, and polarization. In each case, the total charge remains the same.

I tried, hope this helps :)

* I might be wrong though

• How were historical solar system models different from our current model?
horrorfan [7]
One of the most famous historical model was the geocentric model thought of by plato. This model says that the earth is in the center of the universe and that each of the planets follow complicated paths that go backwards sometimes. This model was used until a new one was accepted. This model is the one we have today called the heliocentric model. It was bought of by Copernicus. Hope that answers your question!
