How does the amount of energy in light change as the wavelength increases

Physics

Answer

we know,

$E= \dfrac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

E = energy

h = planks constant

λ = wavelength

from the above equation, we can see that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength.

$E\ \alpha\ \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

that is why

Violet color light has low wavelength but the energy of Violet light is very high whereas red light has low energy and high wavelength.

Which of the following would be used in luminosity calculations?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1) joule

2) $kgm^{2}/s^{2}$

3) $10\%$

Explanation:

1) Luminosity is the <u>amount of light emitted</u> (measured in Joule) by an object in a unit of<u> time</u> (measured in seconds). Hence in SI units luminosity is expressed as joules per second ( $\frac{J}{s}$ ), which is equal to Watts ( $W$ ).

This amount of light emitted is also called radiated electromagnetic power, and when this is measured in relation with time, the result is also called radiant power emitted by a light-emitting object.

Therefore, if we want to calculate luminosity the Joule as a unit will be used.

2) Work $W$ is expressed as force $F$ multiplied by the distane $d$ :

$W=F.d$

Where force has units of $kgm/s^{2}$ and distance units of $m$ .

If we input the units we will have:

$W=(kgm/s^{2})(m)$

$W=kgm^{2}/s^{2}$ This is 1Joule ( $1 J$ ) in the SI system, which is also equal to $1 Nm$

3) The formula to calculate the percent error is:

$\% error=\frac{|V_{exp}-V_{acc}|}{V_{acc}} 100\%$

Where:

$V_{exp}=7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the experimental value

$V_{acc}=6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$ is the accepted value

$\% error=\frac{|7.34 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}-6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}|}{6.67 (10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}} 100\%$

$\% error=10.04\% \approx 10\%$ This is the percent error

A body is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring. Let’s consider when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion.

Klio2033 [76]

The velocity of the body is zero; option A

<h3>What is the motion of an oscillating body?</h3>

The motion of an oscillating body is known as simple harmonic motion.

Simple harmonic motion involves a periodical motion of a body whose acceleration is directed towards a fixed point.

For a body that is oscillating up and down at the end of a spring, considering when the body is at the top of its up-and-down motion, the velocity of the body at the top and down is zero since the body comes to rest at the top and down position of its motion.

In conclusion, oscillating bodies undergo simple harmonic motion.

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.
