What happens to a light wave that is absorbed by matter

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In absorption, the frequency of the incoming light wave is at or near the energy levels of the electrons in the matter. The electrons will absorb the energy of the light wave and change their energy state.

Answer:

The answer is "[tex]11.55780\ m[/tex]"

Explanation:

Using formula:

[tex]= 2 \pi f= \frac{2\pi}{T} =\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}[/tex]

L = length of pendulum.

[tex]= T =2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}[/tex]

Calculate the value for L:  

[tex]L= g (\frac{T}{2 \pi})^2 \\\\[/tex]

  [tex]= (9.80 \ \frac{m}{s^2}) (\frac{6.82 \ s}{2 \pi})^2\\\\= (9.80 \ \frac{m}{s^2}) (\frac{46.5124 \ s^2}{4 \times \pi^2})\\\\= (9.80 \ \frac{m}{s^2}) (\frac{46.5124\ s^2}{4 \times 9.8596 })\\\\= (9.80 \ \frac{m}{s^2}) (\frac{46.5124 \ s^2}{ 39.4384 })\\\\= \frac{455.82152}{39.4384} \ m\\\\=11.55780\ m[/tex]

Two ice skaters, with masses of 50 kg and 75 kg , are at the center of a 30 m -diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. Part A If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 30 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge

Answers

Answer:

t = 20 s

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the skaters when they push off against each other, and that we can neglect friction, total momentum must be conserved.The initial momentum is just zero, because both skaters are at rest.So, when both are gliding to opposite edges of the rink, at any moment, we can write the following expression:

       [tex]p_{f} = m_{1} * v_{1} = m_{2} * v_{2} (1)[/tex]

where m₁ = 50 kg, m₂ = 75 kg.We know that the heavier skater reaches the edge in 30 s.Since the distance from the center to any point on the edge is just half the diameter, we can find the speed of the heavier skater as follows:

       [tex]v_{2} = \frac{15m}{30s} = 0.5 m/s (2)[/tex]

Replacing m₁, m₂ and v₂ in (1), we can solve for the only unknown (v₁) as follows:

       [tex]v_{1} = \frac{m_{2}*v_{2}}{m_{1} } = \frac{75 kg*0.5m/s}{50kg} = 0.75 m/s (3)[/tex]

Since the distance to the opposite edge from the center is the same than for the heavier skater, we can find the time needed for the lighter one to reach the edge as follows:[tex]t_{1} = \frac{15m}{0.75m/s} = 20 s (4)[/tex]

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.60 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.70 m apart.

Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?

Answers

Answer:

a) v = 1.1 m/s

b) A = 0.315 m

c) v = 1.1 m/s  A= 0.15 m

Explanation:

a)

In any travelling wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency, as follows:

        [tex]v = \lambda * f (1)[/tex]

If the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.7 m apart, this means that the wavelength of the wave is just the same, i.e., 5.70 m.Regarding the frequency, we know that the frequency is just the inverse of the period, i.e., the time needed to complete one oscillation.If it takes a time of 2.60 s to go from the highest point to the lowest, the time needed to complete an oscillation (the period T) will be just double of this time:⇒ T = 2.60 s * 2 = 5.20 s (2)Since we have now T, we can find the frequency f as follows:

       [tex]f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{5.20s} = 0.19 Hz (3)[/tex]

Replacing f and λ in (1) we get:

      [tex]v = \lambda * f = 5.70 m * 0.19 Hz = 1.10 m/s (4)[/tex]

b)

The amplitude of the wave is just the amount that the water aparts from its equilibrium level, which is just the half of the distance between its highest point and the lowest one, as follows:

      [tex]A = \frac{0.630m}{2} = 0.315 m (5)[/tex]

c)  

Part a) will not be affected by the new amplitude, because we have showed that the speed is independent of the amplitude, so v can be written as follows:

       v = 1.10 m/s (6)

Part b) will change , due to the amplitude changes. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat is 0.30 m, by the same token as explained in b), the new amplitude will be just half of this, as follows:

       [tex]A = \frac{0.30m}{2} = 0.15 m (7)[/tex]

A copper wire of resistivity 2.6 × 10-8 Ω m, has a cross sectional area of 35 × 10-4 cm2
. Calculate
the length of this wire required to make a 10 Ω coil.

Answers

Answer:

the length of the wire is 134.62 m.

Explanation:

Given;

resistivity of the copper wire, ρ = 2.6 x 10⁻⁸ Ωm

cross-sectional area of the wire, A  = 35 x 10⁻⁴ cm² = ( 35 x 10⁻⁴) x 10⁻⁴ m²

resistance of the wire, R = 10Ω

The length of the wire is calculated as follows;

[tex]R = \frac{\rho L}{A} \\\\L = \frac{RA}{\rho} \\\\L= \frac{10 \times (35\times 10^{-4}) \times 10^{-4}}{2.6 \times 10^{-8}} \\\\L = 134.62 \ m[/tex]

Therefore, the length of the wire is 134.62 m.

A 5.0-kg box is pulled by a horizontal force F applied to the top of the box. When the box meets a low doorstep, it begins to rotate around it. The box is 60 cmcm wide and 70 cmcm high. What minimum magnitude of the force F is needed to cause this movement

Answers

Answer:

the required minimum magnitude of the force F is 21 N

Explanation:

Given the data in the question,

m = 5 kg

width  = 60 cm

height = 80 cm

Let force is F represent in the image below,

so when the block about to rotate normal shifted to edge of cube

mg(w/2) = Fh

F = mg(w/2) / h

we know that g = 9.8 m/s²

we substitute

F = (5 × 9.8 ( 60/2)) / 70

F = (5 × 9.8 × 30 ) / 70

F = 1470 / 70

F = 21 N

Therefore, the required minimum magnitude of the force F is 21 N

The minimum magnitude of the force needed to cause the movement is 34.3 N.

Given:

Mass of the box (m) = 5.0 kg

Width of the box (w) = 60 cm = 0.6 m

Height of the box (h) = 70 cm = 0.7 m

The torque acting is:

τ_weight = (mg) × (h÷2)

The total torque is zero. Therefore, the force is:

F × (h÷2) + (mg) × (h÷2) = 0

F = -(mg) × (h÷2) ÷ (h÷2)

F = -(5.0  × 9.8 ) × (0.7 m ÷ 2) / (0.7 m ÷ 2)

F = -34.3 N

|F| = 34.3 N

Hence, the minimum magnitude of the force F needed to cause the movement is 34.3 N.
