Answer to Problem 1QP

The frequency and energy of a photon of visible light is 6×1014s1_ and 3.98×1019J_ respectively.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The wavelength of a visible light, λ=5×107m.

Explanation:

Write the equation of frequency of a photon of green light.

ν=cλ (I)

Here, the velocity of light is c.

Determine the energy of a photon of visible light.

E=hcλ (II)

Here, the universal constant is h.

Conclusion:

Substitute 3×108m/s for c and 5×107m for λ in Equation (I).

ν=3×108m/s5×107m=6×1014s1

Substitute 3×108m/s for c, 5×107m for λ, and 6.63×1034Js for h in Equation (II).

E=(6.63×1034Js)(3×108m/s)5×107m=3.98×1019J

Thus, the frequency and energy of a photon of visible light is 6×1014s1_ and 3.98×1019J_ respectively.

I've been having trouble solving this problem from my engineering analysis class textbook.
You must have noticed that, when a major appliance is turned on (such as an AC unit, garbage disposal, etc.), your house lights dim momentarily. This is the effect of the RL circuit formed by the inductance and resistance of the transmission line and the loads (light bulbs, appliance, etc.) In fact, even a single straight wire has inductance. The inductance (and the resistance) of a long transmission line can be problematic if the system is not properly designed. The voltage on a power transmission line is alternating current but the effect of transmission line can be simulated by a DC circuit as shown below, where R=0.005 2 /km and L=0.04 H/km representing the resistance and inductance of the transmission line per km relationship that is with the ration: L-8 R. In the circuit, Right =160 represents light bulb resistances, R₁ = 7 represents the resistance of a 'major appliance', and the switch indicates when the appliance is turn on. Alice, a newly hired engineer, needs to determine…
