Our eyes perceive different wavelengths of light as the rainbow hues of colors. Red light has relatively long waves, around 700 nm long. Blue and purple light have short waves, around 400 nm. Shorter waves vibrate at higher frequencies and have higher energies.

Hope it helps.

The question is incomplete! The complete question along with answer and explanation is provided below.

Question:

A 0.5 kg mass moves 40 centimeters up the incline shown in the figure below. The vertical height of the incline is 7 centimeters.

What is the change in the potential energy (in Joules) of the mass as it goes up the incline?

If a force of 1.0 N pulled up and parallel to the surface of the incline is required to raise the mass back to the top of the incline, how much work is done by that force?

Given Information:

Mass = m = 0.5 kg

Horizontal distance = d = 40 cm = 0.4 m

Vertical distance = h = 7 cm = 0.07 m

Normal force = Fn = 1 N

Required Information:

Potential energy = PE = ?

Work done = W = ?

Answer:

Potential energy = 0.343 Joules

Work done = 0.39 N.m

Explanation:

The potential energy is given by

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the object, h is the vertical distance and g is the gravitational acceleration.

PE = 0.5*9.8*0.07

PE = 0.343 Joules

As you can see in the attached image

sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

sinθ = 0.07/0.4

θ = sin⁻¹(0.07/0.4)

θ = 10.078°

The horizontal component of the normal force is given by

Fx = Fncos(θ)

Fx = 1*cos(10.078)

Fx = 0.984 N

Work done is given by

W = Fxd

where d is the horizontal distance

W = 0.984*0.4

W = 0.39 N.m

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p$ is the proton mass

$m_e$ is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N$

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

$q_p = q_e = q$ is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N$

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.
