Answer:

1.24Mev

Explanation:

Using

E= hc/lambda

= (6.62x10^-19) x(3x10^8m/s)/(1x10^-12) x 1.602x10^-9

= 1.24Mev

What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?
solniwko [45]
What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?

Answer: First of all we have to understand that a traveling wave is an organized disturbance traveling with a well defined wave speed. On the other hand standing waves are the combination of period waves with their reflected waves creating double sided waves. The differences between them is that standing waves have nodes and antinodes while a traveling wave does not.

I hope it helps, Regards.

Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling throug
wel

Answer:

The statements that are true concerning light are the last three statements:

  • Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field.
  • It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum.
  • The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

<em>Light</em> is <em>electromagnetic waves.  </em>

The properties of the electromagnetic waves were established by James Clerk Maxwell.

They included that they are the result of the oscillation of a <em>magnetic field </em>in phase with an <em>electric field</em> which are always is always <em>perpendicular</em> to each other.

Also, the electromagnetic waves propagate at right-angles to the direction of both the magnetic and the electric field,  meaning that they are a type of transverse wave.

Thus, the second statement (<em>"Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field"</em>) is false, and the fourth statement ("Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field") is true.

On the other hand, it is a postulate of the special theory of relativity that the speed of light is a constant (absolute value) in vacuum: nothing can travel faster than what light travels in vacuum. Thus, the fifth statement, <em>"It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum"</em> is true.

About the speed of light in matter, it is always less than the speed of light in vacuum. Thus, the first statement, "<em>the speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through</em>", and the third statement "<em>the speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum"</em> are false; while the last statement, "<em>the speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum</em>" is true.

The explanation on why the speed of light is less in a medium than in vacuum is related with the fact that at nanoscopic level the waves suffer polarization which means deviations from the straighi path, which makes that the net straight propagation is slower.

A supertanker filled with oil has a total mass of 6.1 x108 kg. If the dimensions of the ship are those of a rectangular box 300
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 6.1 × 10^{8} \ kg

\rho_{sea} = 1020\  \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

We know that Buoyant force on the tank is equal to gravity force of the tank.

F_B = F_g

(\rho_{Fluid}) (g) (V_{disp}) = m g

(\rho_{Fluid})  (V_{disp}) = m

1020 × V_{disp} = 6.1 × 10^{8}

V_{disp} = 598039.21 m^{3}

We know that

V_{disp} = W × L × H

598039.21 = 300 × 80 × H

H = 25 m

Therefore the bottom of the sea is 25 m below sea level.
