- In classic mechanics, wave motion shows which of the following properties that particel motion does not have. This property was used to comfirm that light was a wave. a) quantization b) interference c)energy is proportional to the frequency d) the speed of the light is constantarrow_forward______2. What is a monochromatic wave? a.A wave of a single frequency b. A wave of double frequency c.A wave of half frequency d. A wave of ¾ frequencyarrow_forwardNarrow, parallel, glowing gas-filled tubes in a variety of colors form block letters to spell out the name of a nightclub. Adjacent tubes are all 2.80 cm apart. The tubes forming one letter are filled with neon and radiate predominantly red light with a wavelength of 640 nm. For another letter, the tubes emit predominantly blue light at 440 nm. The pupil of a dark-adapted viewers eye is 5.20 mm in diameter. (a) Which color is easier to resolve? State how you decide. (b) If she is in a certain range of distances away, the viewer can resolve the separate tubes of one color but not the other. The viewers distance must be in what range for her to resolve the tubes of only one of these two colors?arrow_forward
- What is the frequency of a red laser beam, with a wavelength of 670 nm, which your astronomy instructor might use to point to slides during a lecture on galaxies?arrow_forwardA physicist drives through a stop light. When he is pulled over, he tells the police officer that the Doppler shift made the red light of wavelength 650 nm appear green to him, with a wavelength of 520 nm. The police officer writes out a traffic citation for speeding. How fast was the physicist traveling, according to his own testimony?arrow_forward. What is the wavelength given off by a wave that is moving from n=4 to n=2? What color would you predict this wavelength to be?arrow_forward
- The Sun appears to be yellow when overhead because:1. The human eye is most sensitive to yellow. 2. Yellow frequencies are transmitted better through the atmosphere. 3. Air does not absorb yellow frequencies. 4. The temperature of the Sun is 6000 K. 5. More than one of the above. 6. None of the above.arrow_forwardYou shine a monochromatic red light of frequency 4.30 x 10^14 Hz into a flint glass. What are the frequency and wavelength of this light in the material?arrow_forward_______________ refers to the superposing of two or more coherent waves to produce regions of maxima and minima in space, according to the principle of superposition. A) Interference B) Rectification C) Intensity D) Diffractionarrow_forward
- A radio transmitter, generates spherical radio waves. If you determine the intensity of the waves to be I a distance r from the transmitter, what is the intensity a distance of 2r from the transmitter?arrow_forwardAssume the following waves are propagating in air. Calculate the wavelength λ2 for visible light of frequency f2 = 5.80×1014 Hz . Now express this gamma-ray wavelength in nanometers.arrow_forwardA spacecraft is traveling at almost the speed of light towards Alpha Proxima, the closest star outside of our solar system. A spectrometer focused on that star is looking at the wavelengths of light it gives off. Compared to the color observed from Earth, what would you expect to see from the speeding craft? a The color of light would stay the same. b The light would shift more to white. c The light would shift more to blue. d The light would shift more to red.arrow_forward
