Blog 6 due mon 9/26

What is the wavelength of a wave with an energy of 1,000,000 Joules and a frequency of 0.00025 Js? Is it in the visible spectrum?Hint: use the speed of light and energy equations combined.

  4. speed of light = wavelength x e divided by plank's constant.

    3 x 10^8 = wavelength x 1,000,000 divided by 6.626 x 10^-34.

    1.9878 x 10^-25 = wavelength x 1,000,000

    1.9878 x 10^-31 = wavelength

  5. C=λE/h
    3.0 x 10^8 = C= λ x 1,000,000/6.626 x 10^ -34
    1.9878 x 10^ -25 = λ x 1,000,000
    1.9878 x 10^ -31 = λ

  6. C = λE ÷ h

    3.0×10^8 = (λ × 1.0×1000000) ÷ 6.626×10^-34
    1.9878×10^-25 = λ × 1000000
    λ = 1.9878 x 10^ -31

  7. also I would not expect it to be in the visible spectrum

  9. C= wavelength *(energy) / Plank's constant
    3.0*10^8= λ*(1,000,000)/ 6.626*10^-34
    1.9878*10-25= λ*(1,000,000)
    λ= 1.9878*10^-31
    sig figs- 2.0^-31
    this wave would not be placed in the visible spectrum

  10. Formula is
    C= λxE divided by h(Planks constant)

    3x10^8= (λx1000000)/ 6.626x10^-34
    1.9878x10^-25= 1000000λ
    1.988x10^-31=λ

  11. C=λE/h
    3.0 x 10^8 = C= λ x 1,000,000/6.626 x 10^ -34
    1.9878 x 10^-25= wavelength x 1,000,000
    1.9878 x 10^-31= wavelength
    the wave wouldn't be placed in the visible spectrum

  12. C= wavelength X (energy) / Plank's constant
    3.0 X 10^8 = λ X (1,000,000)/ 6.626*10^-34
    1.9878 X 10-25= λ X (1,000,000)
    λ= 1.9878 X 10^-31
    = 2.0^-31
    this wave wouldn't be placed in the visible spectrum

  13. C=wavelengthxfrequency
    frequency=energy/planck's constant
    C=wavelengthxenergy/planck's constant
    3.0x10^8=wx1000000/6.626x10^-34
    wavelength=1.9879 x 10^31
    not in the visible spectrum

  14. Formula: C = λE ÷ h

    3.0×10^8 = (λ × 1.0×1,000,000) ÷ 6.626×10^-34
    1.9878×10^-25 = λ × 1,000,000
    λ = 1.9878 x 10^ -31
    Not in the visible spectrum.

  15. speed of light = wavelengthE/plank's constant.
    3 x 10^8 = wavelength x 1,000,000/ 6.626 x 10^-34.

    1.9878 x 10^-25 = wavelength x 1,000,000

    1.9878 x 10^-31 = wavelength

    no its not in visible spectrum
    p.s. how do u do the wavelength sighn

  16. 3 * 10^8 = wavelength * 1,000,000/ 6.626 * 10^-34

    1.9878 * 10^-25 = wavelength * 1,000,000

    =1.9878*10^-31

    No it wouldn't.

  18. Energy= Plank's constant multiplied by frequency (E=hν)
    Speed of light= wavelength multiplied by frequency (C=λν)
    Isolate ν in both equations: E/h=ν C/λ=ν
    Substitute both equations for ν: E/h=C/λ
    Substitute quantities for symbols: 1,000,000J/6.626 x 10^-34=3.0x 10^8/λ
    Cross multiply: 19.878 x 10^-26= 10^6λ
    Isolate λ: 19.878 x 10^-26/ 10^6 =λ
    λ= 19.878 x 10^-32m
    λ= 2.0 x 10^-31m
    Convert to nm: 2.0x 10^-31 x 10^9= 2.0 x 10^22 nm

    λ= 2.0 x 10^22 nm

    This wave will not be placed in the visible spectrum

  19. C = wavelength x e/h

    3 x 10^8 = wavelength x 1,000,000 / 6.626 x 10^-34.

    1.9878 x 10^-25 = wavelength x 1,000,000

    1.9878 x 10^-31 = wavelength

    Not in visible spectrum

  20. Formula: C = λE ÷ h

    3.0×10^8 = (λ × 1.0×1,000,000) ÷ 6.626×10^-34
    1.9878×10^-25 = λ × 1,000,000
    λ = 1.9878 x 10^ -31
    sig figs is 2.0 x 10^-31

    Not in the visible spectrum.

  21. C=wavelength x E/H
    3x10(8th Power) = Wavelength x 1,000,000/6.626 x 10(34th power)
    1.9878x10(25th power) = wavelength x 1,000,000
    1.9878 x 10(31st power) = wavelength
    This is not a wave that would be classified in the visible spectrum.

  22. c = wavelength x energy / plank's constant
    3.0E8 = wavelength x 1,000,000/6.626E-34
    1.9878E-25 = wavelength x 1,000,000
    1.9878E-31 = wavelength
    it wouldn't be in the visible spectrum.

  24. Speed of light(c) = wavelength(l) x frequency(v)
    3.0x10^8 m/s = (l) x 2.5x10^-4 Hz
    1.2x10^12 = (l)
    Wavelength = 1.2 x 10^12 nm
    This wave has a longer wavelength than any waves located in the visible light spectrum. It is probably a radio wave.
