A certain type of laser emits light that has a frequency of 4.9 x 1014 Hz. The light, however, occurs as a series of short pulses, each lasting for a time of 2.9 x 10-11 s. The light enters a pool of water. The frequency of the light remains the same, but the speed of light slows down to 2.3 x 108 m/s. In the water, how many wavelengths are in one pulse

N = 1.42 × 10⁴ cycles

Explanation:

Given that:

frequency f = 4.9 × 10¹⁴ Hz

Time = 2.9 × 10⁻¹¹ s

Speed = 2.3 × 10⁸ m/s

Recall that:

wavelength

Horizontal distance

Number of wavelengths

N = (4.9 × 10¹⁴ cycles/s) (2.9 × 10⁻¹¹ s)

N = 14210

N = 1.42 × 10⁴ cycles

the moon affects the earth gravitation ally, causing certain motions of that body and also producing tides in its ocean and atmosphere. the tidal wave in our atmosphere is, however, far too minute to be an effective cause in any known meteorological phenomenon.

explanation:

0.11 m/s and 0.28 m/s should be correct
