What does the wavelength of light determine?

Physics

Answer:

The wavelength of the light determines its characteristics. For example, short wavelengths are high energy gamma-rays and x-rays, long wavelengths are low energy radio waves. The whole range of wavelengths is called the electromagnetic spectrum.

Two stones are launched from the top of a tall building. One stoneis thrown in a direction 30.0^\circ above the horizontal with
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Part A)

t(1) > t(2), the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

Part B)

x(f1) > x(f2), the first stone will land farther away from the building.

Explanation:

<u>Part A)</u>

Let's use the parabolic motion equation to solve it. Let's define the variables:

  • y(i) is the initial height, it is a constant.
  • y(f) is the final height, in our case is 0
  • v(i) is the initial velocity (v(i)=16 m/s)
  • θ1 is the first angle, 30°
  • θ2 is the first angle, -30°

For the first stone

y_{f1}=y_{i1}+v*sin(\theta_{1})t_{1}-0.5gt_{1}^{2}              

0=y_{i1}+16*sin(30)t_{1}-0.5*9.81*t_{1}^{2}

0=y_{i1}+8t_{1}-4.905*t_{1}^{2} (1)  

For the second stone  

0=y_{i2}+16*sin(-30)t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2}    

0=y_{i2}-8t_{2}-4.905t_{2}^{2} (2)            

 

If we solve the equation (1) we will have:

t_{1}=\frac{-8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}  

We can do the same procedure for the equation (2)

t_{1}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+19.62*y_{i}}}{-9.81}

We can analyze each solution to see which one spends more time in the air.

It is easy to see that the value inside the square root of each equation is always greater than 8, assuming that the height of the building is > 0. Now, to get positive values of t(1) and t(2) we need to take the negative option of the square root.

Therefore, t(1) > t(2), it means that the stone thrown 30 above the horizontal spends more time in the air.

<u>Part B)</u>

We can use the equation of the horizontal position here.

<u>First stone</u>

x_{f1}=x_{i1}+vcos(30)t_{1}

x_{f1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{f1}=13.86*t_{1}

<u>Second stone</u>

x_{2}=x_{i2}+vcos(-30)t_{2}

x_{1}=0+13.86*t_{1}

x_{1}=13.86*t_{2}

Knowing that t(1) > t(2) then x(f1) > x(f2)

Therefore, the first stone will land farther away from the building.

They land at different points at different times.

I hope it helps you!

All isotopes of a particular element have the same atomic number. How then do the isotopes of a particular element differ?
xz_007 [3.2K]
Isotopes of an element will contain the same number of protons and electrons but will differ in the number of neutrons they contain. In other words, isotopes have the same atomic number because they are the same element but have a different atomic mass because they contain a different number of neutrons

A physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red
Alik [6]

Answer:

Speed of physicist car is 0.036c or 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s .

Explanation:

Doppler Effect is defined as the change in frequency or wavelength of the wave as the source or/and observer moving away or towards each other.

In this case, the Doppler effect equation in terms of wavelength is :

\lambda_{s} = \lambda_{o}\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }       ......(1)

Here \lambda_{s} is source wavelength, \lambda_{o} is observed wavelength, v is speed of the observer and c is the speed of light.

Given :

Source wavelength, \lambda_{s} = 660 nm = 660 x 10⁻⁹ m

Observed wavelength, \lambda_{0} = 555 nm = 555 x 10⁻⁹ m

Substitute these values in the equation (1).

555\times10^{-9} } = 660\times10^{-9} \sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } }

\sqrt{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = 0.84

{\frac{1-\frac{v}{c} }{1+\frac{v}{c} } } = (0.84)^{2} = 0.7056

1-\frac{v}{c}=0.7056+0.7056\frac{v}{c}

\frac{v}{c}=\frac{0.2944}{8.056}

v = 0.036c=0.036\times3\times10^{8}

v = 1.08 x 10⁷ m/s
