Answer:

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.

Explanation:

Given the following data:

Frequency of light = 5.2 *10^12 Hz

We know that the Speed of light = 3.0 * 10^8 m/s

To find the wavelength of light;

Mathematically, wavelength is calculated using this formula;

$Wavelength = \frac {speed}{frequency}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Wavelength = \frac {3*10^{8}}{5.2 *10^{12}}$

Wavelength = 5.77 * 10^-5 meters.

A 8.2-V battery is connected in series with a 38-mH inductor, a 150-Î© resistor, and an open switch.A 8.2-V battery is connected

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

(A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 8.2 V

Inductor = 38 mH

Resistance = 150 Ω

Time t = 0.110 ms

The battery has negligible internal resistance, so that the total resistance in the circuit is 150 ohms. Then use this equation for current at time t in terms of inductance

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$I(t)=\dfrac{V}{R}\times(1-e^{-t\times\dfrac{R}{L}})$

Put the value into the formula

$I(t)=\dfrac{8.2}{150}\times(1-e^{-0.110\times10^{-3}\times\dfrac{150}{38\times10^{-3}}})$

$I(t)=0.01925\ A$

$I(t) = 19.25\ mA$

(B). We need to calculate the store energy in the inductor

Using formula of energy

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times38\times10^{-3}\times(0.01925)^2$

$E=7.04\times10^{-6}\ J$

{tex]E=7.04\ \mu J[/tex]

Hence, (A). The current in the circuit is 19.25 mA.

(B). The store energy in the inductor is 7.04 μJ.

Suppose that you hear a clap of thunder 16 s after seeing the associated lightning strike. How far are you from the lightning st

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

$d=5.376km$

Explanation:

Since <em>light is so fast</em> we can assume no time passes between the lightning strikes and we observe it. We want to know then how far away did the strike occur for the sound to take 16s to reach our ears. Since the definition of velocity tells us that $v=d/t$ , we can write $d=vt=(336m/s)(16s)=5376m=5.376km$
