Explanation:

Given: \lambda = 500\:\text{nm} = 5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}

\nu = \dfrac{c}{\lambda} = \dfrac{3×10^8\:\text{m/s}}{5×10^{-7}\:\text{m}}

\:\:\:\:\:= 6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz}

The work function \phi is then

\phi = h\nu = (6.626×10^{-34}\:\text{J-s})(6×10^{14}\:\text{Hz})

\:\:\:\:\:\:\:= 3.98×10^{-19}\:\text{J}

Q: Compare and contrast the different parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Evaluate the usefulness of each part and decide whi
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The infrared and ultraviolet parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used in the field of chemical analysis.

The sections of the EM spectrum are named in order of increasing energy gamma rays X-rays ultraviolet-visible light infrared, and radio waves. Microwaves used in microwave ovens are a subsection of the radio segment of the EM spectrum.

Electromagnetic energy travels in waves and covers a wide spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays. The human eye can only see a small portion of this spectrum known as visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that carry energy and travel through space in the form of waves. Low frequencies and long wavelengths make up the radio spectrum.

What is denser medium?​
abruzzese [7]

Answer: A medium in which speed of light is more is known as optically rarer medium and a medium in which speed of light is less is said to be optically denser medium. For example in air and water, air is raer and water is a denser medium.

A physics instructor wants to project a spectrum of visible-light colors from 400 nm to 700 nm as part of a classroom demonstrat
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern for constructive interference is described by

        a sin θ = m λ

in this it indicates that the order of diffraction is m = 1

Let's use a direct proportion rule to find the separation of two slits. If there are 600 lines in 1 me, what is the distance between 2 slits

   a = 2 lines 1/600

   a = 2/600

    a = 3.33 10⁻³ mm = 3.33 10⁻⁴ cm

let's use trigonometry

      tan θ = y / L

as the measured angles are small

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ sin θ

      sin θ = y / L

we substitute

     a  y/L = λ

     y = λ L / a

for λ = 400 10-9 m

      I = 400 10⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

      i = 346.89 10⁻⁶ m

f

or λ = 700 nm

        y_f = 700 10⁻⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

        y_f = 609.609 10⁻⁶ m

the separation of this spectrum

        Δr = v_f - i

        Dr = (609.609 - 346)  10 ⁻⁶

        Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)
