- When the Sojourner spacecraft landed on Mars in 1997, the planet was approximately 7.8 107 km from Earth. How long did it take for the television picture signal to reach Earth from Mars?arrow_forwardDoes the main emission line for SrCl2 have a longer or shorter wavelength than that of the yellow line from NaCI?arrow_forwardAn FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 101.3 MHz. What is the wavelength, in meters and nanometers, of this radiation?arrow_forward
- A particular microwave oven delivers 750 watts. (A watt is a unit of power, which is the joules of energy delivered, or used, per second.) If the oven uses microwave radiation of wavelength 12.6 cm, how many photons of this radiation are required to heat 1.00 g of water 1.00C, assuming that all of the photons are absorbed?arrow_forwardConsider burning ethane gas, C2H6 in oxygen (combustion) forming CO2 and water. (a) How much energy (in J) is produced in the combustion of one molecule of ethane? (b) What is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 12.6 nm? (c) Compare your answers for (a) and (b).arrow_forwardIn X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, a material can be analyzed for its constituent elements by radiating the material with short-wavelength X rays, which induce the atoms to emit longer-wavelength X rays characteristic of those atoms. Tungsten, for example, emits characteristic X rays of wavelength 0.1476 nm. If an electron has an equivalent wavelength, what is its kinetic energy?arrow_forward
