X-rays are electromagnetic waves used to obtain images of bones. An x-ray machine produces x-ray waves with a frequency of 1.25 x 10^18 Hz.

(a) Calculate the time period of these x-rays.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]T=8\times 10^{-19}\ s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency of x-ray is, [tex]f=1.25\times 10^{18}\ Hz[/tex]

We need to find the time period of these x-rays. Let it is be T. We know that, the relation between f and T is given by :

T = 1/f

So,

[tex]T=\dfrac{1}{1.25\times 10^{18}}\\\\=8\times 10^{-19}\ s[/tex]

So, the time period of these x-rays is equal to [tex]8\times 10^{-19}\ s[/tex].

The time period of the electromagnetic wave is 8.0 × 10⁻¹⁹ seconds.

Given the data in the question;

Frequency; [tex]f =1.25 * 10^{18}Hz[/tex]

Time period; [tex]T =\ ?[/tex]

Time period is simply the time taken for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point.

It is expressed as:

[tex]T = \frac{1}{f}[/tex]

We substitute our value into the equation

[tex]T = \frac{1}{1.25 * 10^{18}Hz} \\\\T = \frac{1}{1.25 * 10^{18}s^{-1}}\\\\T = 8.0 * 10^{-19}s[/tex]

Therefore, the time period of the electromagnetic wave is 8.0 × 10⁻¹⁹ seconds.
