<h3>Answer:</h3>

E≈2,5 eV

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

_______________

λ=500 nm = 500·10⁻⁹ m

c=3·10⁸ m/s

h=6,63·10⁻³⁴ J·s = 4,14·10⁻¹⁵ eV·s

_______________

E - ?

_______________

$\displaystyle \boldsymbol{E}=h\nu =h \frac{c}{\lambda} =4,14\cdot 10^{-15} \; eV\cdot s\cdot \; \frac{3\cdot 10^8\; m/s}{500\cdot 10^{-9}\; m} =2,484\; eV\approx \boldsymbol{2,5\; eV}$

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the c

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = $e^{kt}$

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = $e^{-0.01t}$

V = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1V₀ = V₀ $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1V₀/V₀ = $e^{-0.01t}$

0.1 = $e^{-0.01t}$

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ

liq [111]

Answer:

Because electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space

Explanation:

The energy that is emitted from the sun is transferred to the earth in the form of radioactive waves. These waves are originated due to the vibration between the electric and magnetic fields. As this energy reaches the earth, it warms the earth's atmosphere, resulting in the transfer of heat energy in three possible ways namely the conduction, convection, and radiation.

This electromagnetic waves do not require any matter for the transmission of energy, and can easily travel in empty space from the core of the sun to the earth and other nearby planets. Whereas other types of waves cannot travel in space, so it is transferred in the form of electromagnetic waves only.
