For light or ultraviolet, the formula for energy can be calculated using Planck’s equation. That is:

E = h c / ʎ

where,

h is the Planck’s constant = 6.626 * 10^-34 m^2 kg / s

c is the speed of light = 3 * 10^8 m/s

ʎ is the wavelength of light = 110 nm = 110 x 10^-9 m

So calculating for energy E:

E = (6.626 * 10^-34 m^2 kg / s) * (3 * 10^8 m/s) / (110 x 10^-9 m)

E = 1.807 x 10^-18 J

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer. The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

$F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\ 340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s$
