We need the frequency of the photon, it is v = c/ λ

Where c is 3 x 10^8 ms^-1 and λ is the wave length

We also need the expression of connecting frequency to energy of photon 

which is E = hv where h is Planck’s constant

Combining the two equations will give us:

E = h x c/λ

Inserting the values, we will have:

E = 6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8 / 0.126

E = 1.578 x 10^ -24 J

The energy of exactly one photon of this microwave radiation is about 1.58 × 10⁻²⁴ J

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The term of package of electromagnetic wave radiation energy was first introduced by Max Planck. He termed it with photons with the magnitude is :

\large {\boxed {E = h \times f}}

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>h = Planck's Constant ( 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js )</em>

<em>f = Frequency of Eletromagnetic Wave ( Hz )</em>

\texttt{ }

The photoelectric effect is an effect in which electrons are released from the metal surface when illuminated by electromagnetic waves with large enough of radiation energy.

\large {\boxed {E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \Phi}}

\large {\boxed {E = qV + \Phi}}

<em>E = Energi of A Photon ( Joule )</em>

<em>m = Mass of an Electron ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Electron Release Speed ( m/s )</em>

<em>Ф = Work Function of Metal ( Joule )</em>

<em>q = Charge of an Electron ( Coulomb )</em>

<em>V = Stopping Potential ( Volt )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

h = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js

λ = 12.6 cm = 0.126 m

<u>Unknown:</u>

E = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

E = h \times f

E = h \times \frac{c}{\lambda}

E = (6.63 \times 10^{-34}) \times \frac{3 \times 10^8}{0.126}

E = 1.58 \times 10^{-24} \texttt{ J}

(Another tomato/skyscraper problem.) You are looking out your window in a skyscraper, and again your window is at a height of 45
Ivan

Answer:

1027.2 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 32.2 ft/s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{450-\frac{1}{2}\times 32.2\times 2^2}{2}\\\Rightarrow u=192.8\ ft/s

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{192.8^2-0^2}{2\times 32.2}\\\Rightarrow s=577.20\ m

The height the tomato would fall is 450+577.2 = 1027.2 m

A dog travels north for 18 meters, east for 8 meters, South for 27 meters and then west for 8 meters. What is the distance the d
Afina-wow [57]
I'm really not sure if this is right but I'll try.
The distance that the dog traveled is probably all of the distances added up. I would guess that it's 67 meters in total. 
The displacement is a little more tricky but you pretty much have to put a mental map in your head. Since East and West are both 8 meters, they cancel each other out. He travels more southern and that means the displacement is 9 meters south of his original location
