Determine the amount of time it takes for X-rays of frequency3×1018Hzto travel (a) 1 mm and (b) 1 cm

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The time taken for 1mm is 3.34×10-12s.

b. The time taken for 1cm is 3.34×10-11s.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of frequency

The number of waves that travel through a particular point in a given amount of time is referred to as frequency.

02

Given information and Formula to be used

f=3×1018Hzc=3×1018m/sd=1mm10-3m1mm=10-3md=1cm10-2m1cm=10-2m

Distance is \(d = ct\) ……………(1)

03

Calculate the amount of time it takes for X-rays of frequency 3×1018 Hz travel 1mm ?

a)

Substitute the given data in equation (1), and we get,

10-3m=3×108m/s×tt=10-3m3×108m/st=3.34×10-12s

Therefore, the time taken is 3.34×10-12s.

04

Calculate the amount of time it takes for X-rays of frequency 3×1018 Hz travel 1 cm ? 

b)

Substitute the given data in equation (1), and we get,

10-2m=3×108m/s×tt=10-2m3×108m/st=3.34×10-11s

Therefore, the time taken is3.34×10-11s .
