Find the wavelength (in nm) of a photon whose energy is 5.90 x 10-19 J. I understand that I have to use this equation to figure out the problem E=nhf, I just keep getting the wrong answer. Which is 33.68 nm

Physics
As Section 27.5 discusses, sound waves diffract or bend around the edges of a doorway. Larger wavelengths diffract more than smaller wavelengths. (a) The speed of sound is 343 m/s. With what speed would a 57.0 kg person have to move through a doorway to diffract to the same ex...

Interesting. Im glad I wasn't to far off on the answer. Makes me feel a little better about everything. Thank you so much!!!

Physics
Two spaceships A and B are exploring a new planet. Relative to this planet, spaceship A has a speed of 0.54c, and spaceship B has a speed of 0.74c. What is the ratio DA/DB of the values for the planet's diameter that each spaceship measures in a direction that is parallel ...

A woman is 1.6 m tall and has a mass of 53 kg. She moves past an observer with the direction of the motion parallel to her height. The observer measures her relativistic momentum to have a magnitude of 2.6 x 1011 kg·m/s. What does the observer measure for her height?

Physics
Thank you. i sort of had to back track to get the answer you got but eventually got it. Thank you!!

Physics
A spacecraft approaching the earth launches an exploration vehicle. After the launch, an observer on earth sees the spacecraft approaching at a speed of 0.74c and the exploration vehicle approaching at a speed of 0.98c. What is the speed of the exploration vehicle relative to ...

Determine the ratio of the relativistic kinetic energy to the nonrelativistic kinetic energy (1/2mv2) when a particle has a speed of (a) 2.12 x 10-3c. and (b) 0.959c.

Physics
suppose that the angle of incidence is 1 = 37.1°, the thickness of the pane is 4.17 mm, and the refractive index of the pane is n2 = 1.50. Find the amount (in mm) by which the emergent ray is displaced relative to the incident ray.

Physics
Light waves with two different wavelengths, 632 nm and 474 nm, pass simultaneously through a single slit whose width is 4.47 x 10-5 m and strike a screen 1.70 m from the slit. Two diffraction patterns are formed on the screen. What is the distance (in cm) between the common ce...
