How is a wave of red light different from a wave of purple?

1 answer:

adoni [48]2 years ago

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.

What's your normal body temperature? it may not be 98.6°f, the oft-quoted average that was determined in the nineteenth century.

harkovskaia [24]

(98.6 - 98.2)ºF = .4ºF

.4ºF* 5ºC/9ºF = 0.222 ºC

There's an electric field in some region of space that doesn't change with position. An electron starts moving with a speed of 2

tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

speed of Electron $u=2\times 10^7\ m/s$

final speed of Electron $v=4\times 10^7\ m/s$

distance traveled $d=1.2\ cm$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=Final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$(4\times 10^7)^2-(2\times 10^7)^2=2\times a\times 1.2\times 10^{-2}$

$a=5\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2$

acceleration is given by $a=\frac{qE}{m}$

where q=charge of electron

m=mass of electron

E=electric Field strength

$5\times 10^{16}=\frac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\cdot E}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

$E=248.3\ kN/C$

A 6.00-μf parallel-plate capacitor has charges of 40.0 μc on its plates. how much potential energy is stored in this capacitor?

dedylja [7]

Thew energy stored in a capacitor of capacitance $C$ and voltage between the plates $V$ is

$E=\frac{1}{2} CV^2=\frac{1}{2C} Q^2$ .

Substituting numerical value

$E=\frac{1}{2*6*10^{-6}} (40*10^{-6})^2\\ E=133.33\; \mu J$
