Find out the wavelength of violet light which has a frequency of $7.5 \times 10^{14}Hz$ ?

  1. $2.25\times 10^{23}m$
  2. $2.5\times 10^{5}m$
  3. $4\times 10^{-7}m$
  4. $7.5\times 10^{-7}m$
  5. $2.25\times 10^{7}m$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Given :    $\nu = 7.5 \times 10^{14}$  Hz

Speed of violet light (EM wave)     $v = 3 \times 10^8$ m/s
Thus wavelength of violet light         $\lambda = \dfrac{v}{\nu}  = \dfrac{3 \times 10^8}{7.5 \times 10^{14}}  =4 \times 10^{-7}$ m

B Correct answer
Explanation

Decreasing order of wavelength :

 Visible light > ultraviolet > X-ray
Thus option B is correct.

The sun delivers $10^3\, Wm^{-2}$ of electromagnetic flux on the earth's surface. The total power that is incident on a roof of dimensions $6 \,m \times 30\, m$ is 

  1. $1.8 \times 10^5\, W$
  2. $7.2 \times 10^5\, W$
  3. $0.9 \times 10^5\, W$
  4. $4.5 \times 10^5\, W$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Given, electromagnetic flux $=10^3\, Wm^{-2}$
The area of roof $A= 6\, m \times 30\, m$
$=180 \, m^2$
The total power incident on roof
$P=10^3 \times 180$
$=1.8\times 10^5 \, W$
