Chapter 9, Problem 9.11P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength of the radiation with frequency 7.5 × 1014 /s needs to be determined. The type of radiation needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The wavelength and frequency of radiation are inversely related to each other as follows:

  λ = cυ

Where

  λ = wavelength υ = frequencyc = speed of light = 3×108 m/s

The different radiations and their wavelength ranges are

Gamma radiation: <10-9m

X-ray radiation: 10-9m to10-8m

Ultraviolet radiation: 10-8m to 4 × 107m

Visible radiation: × 107m to 8 × 107m

Infrared radiation: × 107m to 104m

Microwave radiation: 104m to 101m

Radio waves: >101m

Answer to Problem 9.11P

  λ = 4 × 10-7m

UV-visible light.

Explanation of Solution

The wavelength will be calculated as

  λ = cυ

Putting the values,

  λ = × 1087.× 1014

Thus,

  λ = 4 × 10-7m

As wavelength is ×10-7m it could be UV-visible light.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength of the radiation with frequency × 1010 /s needs to be determined. The type of radiation needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The wavelength and frequency of a radiation are inversely related to each other as:

  λ = cυ

Where

  λ = wavelength υ = frequencyc = speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s

The different radiations and their wavelength ranges are

Gamma radiation: <10-9m

X-ray radiation: 10-9m to10-8m

Ultraviolet radiation: 10-8m to 4 × 107m

Visible radiation: × 107m to 8 × 107m

Infrared radiation: × 107m to 104m

Microwave radiation: 104m to 101m

Radio waves: >101m

Answer to Problem 9.11P

  λ = 3 × 10-2m

Microwave radiation.

Explanation of Solution

The wavelength will be calculated as

  λ = cυ

Putting the values,

  λ = × 1081 × 1010

Thus,

  λ = 3 × 10-2m

As wavelength is × 10-2m it should be microwave radiation.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength of the radiation with frequency 1.1 × 1015 /s needs to be determined. The type of radiation needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The wavelength and frequency of a radiation are inversely related to each other as:

  λ = cυ

Where

  λ = wavelength υ = frequencyc = speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s

The different radiations and their wavelength ranges are

Gamma radiation: <10-9m

X-ray radiation: 10-9m to10-8m

Ultraviolet radiation: 10-8m to 4 × 107m

Visible radiation: × 107m to 8 × 107m

Infrared radiation: × 107m to 104m

Microwave radiation: 104m to 101m

Radio waves: >101m

(c)

Answer to Problem 9.11P

  λ = 2.73 × 10-7m

Ultraviolet radiation.

Explanation of Solution

The wavelength will be calculated as

  λ = cυ

Putting the values,

  λ = × 1081.1 × 1015

Thus,

  λ = 2.73 × 10-7m

As wavelength is 2.73 × 10-7m it should be Ultraviolet radiation.

(d)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The wavelength of the radiation with frequency 1.5 × 1018 /s needs to be determined. The type of radiation needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The wavelength and frequency of a radiation are inversely related to each other as:

  λ = cυ

Where

  λ = wavelength υ = frequencyc = speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s

The different radiations and their wavelength ranges are

Gamma radiation: <10-9m

X-ray radiation: 10-9m to10-8m

Ultraviolet radiation: 10-8m to 4 × 107m

Visible radiation: × 107m to 8 × 107m

Infrared radiation: × 107m to 104m

Microwave radiation: 104m to 101m

Radio waves: >101m

Answer to Problem 9.11P

  λ = 2 × 10-10m

Gamma radiation.

Explanation of Solution

The wavelength will be calculated as

  λ = cυ

Putting the values,

  λ = × 1081.5 × 1018

Thus,

  λ = 2 × 10-10m

As wavelength is × 10-10m it should be Gamma radiation.
