- What are the wavelengths of (a) X-rays of frequency 2.01017 Hz? (b) Yellow light of frequency 5.11014Hz ? (C) Gamma rays of frequency 1.01023Hz ?arrow_forwardA community plans to build a facility to convert solar radiation to electrical power. The community requires 1.00 MW of power, and the system to be installed has an efficiency of 30.0% (that is, 30.0% of the solar energy incident on the surface is converted to useful energy that can power the community). Assuming sunlight has a constant intensity of 1 000 W/m2, what must be the effective area of a perfectly absorbing surface used in such an installation?arrow_forwardA possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this solar sail. Suppose a sail of area A = 6.00 105 m2 and mass m =6.00 103 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1 370 W/m2. (a) What force is exerted on the sail? (b) What is the sails acceleration? (c) Assuming the acceleration calculated in part (b) remains constant, find the time interval required for the sail to reach the moon, 3.84 108 m away, starting from rest at the Earth.arrow_forward
