It's online homework that i copied and pasted, it's okay though.. thank you for your time and attempting!

Okay so i found lamba which i got .075, then divided that by b (the constant) and got 25.88 which is still wrong. :(

Ahh * photons. And yes, this is the problem. Suppose a blackbody emits photons strongly with a frequency near 4 GHz. What is the photon energy? And then i found the value that i stated above (in J), which is correct. The question then asks for the temperature of the black body and that's...

E=hc/lambda? So i solve for lambda and plug it into my above equation? Does v=4E+9?

Homework Statement It emits protons with a frequency of 4 GHz, and has a photon energy of 2.65E-24 J. I tried to use the formula lambda=c/f=vT, but i am somehow getting a negative answer which doesn't make sense when trying to find temperature in (K). Any help is greatly appreciated.

aha i see, thank you so much!

I guess that means i am, so i switch 300 and 445?

Well L1 is supposed to be the length observed by an observer in relative motion with respect to the object, which would be 445?

Homework Statement A spaceship moves past you at speed v. You measure the ship to be 300 m long, whereas an astronaut on the ship measures a length of 445 m. Find v. The Attempt at a Solution I tried to substitute my numbers into L1=Lsqrt(1/(v^2/c^2)) and keep getting a negative wrong answer...

So what is the speed? Is it the constant c, 3E8? And will using that give me my answer in Hz?

Homework Statement X-rays are electromagnetic waves with very short wavelengths. Suppose an X-ray has an wavelength of 0.126 nm. What is its frequency? The Attempt at a Solution I tried (1)/(1.26E-10)=7936507937, which is in Hz, but they want it to GHz, so i converted it and got 7.94 GHz but...

Well then i would have to use B = ul/2pir? So do i just find that for each of the wires and then add them together?

Homework Statement Because of the 2 wires in the figure, For what value of the ratio I1/I2 is the magnetic field zero at the point A? point B? point C? Homework Equations http://tinypic.com/r/5otweg/7 The Attempt at a Solution I honestly have no idea where to start with this problem, any help...

Homework Statement A 10 cm long solenoid with 241 turns and radius R = 3.00 cm has a current flowing through it of Io = 200 mA. What is the magnetic field strength inside the solenoid (in T)? The Attempt at a Solution So i know i have to use the formula B = (uo)(n)(Io) uo = a constant 1.257 x...

Homework Statement A wire has a diameter of 1.51 mm and a length of 32.7 m, and is found to have a resistance of 1.5 capital omega. What is the resistivity of the wire? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution R=qL/A R=.0051/2=7.55E-4 L=32.7 A = ? How do i find A to...
