- Sakalam, a light-emitting device, requires 10,068.68 ZW (Zeptowatt) of power every 500 milliseconds (ms). The energy of light being produced by Sakalam is equal to the amount of energy required to run the device at the given time. Refer to the given tables for the useful relations, necessary constants and definitions of variables, and colors corresponding to wavelengths of visible light. a. How much energy (in Joules) is equivalent to the power required by Sakalam at the given time? b. What is the wavelength of light (in nanometers, nm) being produced by Sakalam? c. What is the color of the light being produced by Sakalam?arrow_forwardRound to three significant figures and enter your answers in scientific notation.Find the frequency and wavelength of a 53−MeV gamma-ray photon. f=___x10___Hzarrow_forwardWhat is the energy of light having a frequency of (4.79x10^14)?

Express your answer to three significant figures and in proper scientific notation.arrow_forwardA friend of yours (who has not had the benefit of an astronomy course) tells you about a report he has read in a tabloid newspaper. He claims that on the dark side of the Moon (the side that never receives any sunlight), there is a secret base of aliens who cannot stand light and send UFO's to Earth under the cover of darkness. What is the scientific error in this story? Group of answer choices All sides of the Moon are illuminated by sunlight in the course of a month; there is no dark side. While we have some credible reports of UFO landings, it is difficult to imagine that advanced aliens would be afraid of the light. The dark side of the Moon is the one that faces the Earth and our telescopes would have spotted such a base. This seems to be a perfectly reasonable story. The space program of the world's countries has landed thousands of spacecraft on the dark side of the Moon. Since the moon is turning, we see all sides of it from Earth in the course of a…arrow_forward
