Explanation Given info: The wavelength of the light for which Rhodopsin is sensitive is 500 nm . The frequency of the light for Rhosopsin is, ν = c λ Here, c is the speed of the light . λ is the wavelength of the light. The speed of the light is 3 × 10 8 m / s . Substitute 3 × 10 8 m / s for c and 500 nm for λ in the above equation. ν = 3 × 10 8 m / s 500 nm ( 10 − 9 Ȁ

Particle Theory of Light

The particle theory of light was the proposal made by Newton in 1704 in his treatise Opticks. This is the most basic light theory, in which light is thought to be made up of microscopic particles known as "corpuscles" and that's why this particle theory …

Stopping Potential

In an experiment conducted by Heinrich Hertz, an apparatus was made where the incident light was made to fall on the metallic plate, it was discovered that metals emit electrons. The surface electrons are bound to metals with a minimum amount of energy a…

Quantization of Charges

An electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle either attached to an an atom or sticks to the nucleus of the atom. Electrons exert the negative charge that tries to balance the positive charge of the nucleus.

The star Sirius is much hotter than the sun, with a peak wavelength of 290 nm compared to the sun’s 500 nm. It is also larger, with a diameter 1.7 times that of the sun. By what factor does the energy emitted by Sirius exceed that of the sun?

A0.5 MHz antenna carried by an airplane flying over the ocean surface generates a wave that approaches the water surface in the forme a normally incident plane wave with an electric-field amplitude of 5500 V/m. Seawater is characterized by a dielectric constant of 72, relative permeabity of 1 and conductivity of 4 Slm. The plane is trying to communicate a message to a submarine submerged at a depth d below the water surface. If the submarine's receiver requires a minimum signal ampitude of 0.03 u Vim), what is the maximum depth d to which successful communication is still possible? Answer
