Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures is an example of a(n) microbicidal technique.

A substance that eliminates microorganisms (such as bacteria) is known as microbicide and the techniques that involve destruction of microbes are known as microbicidal techniques.

The pathogen biofilm was effectively destroyed by the combined microbicidal effects of hot water (50, 60, or 70 °C) and 2% citric acid. It was discovered that the combination of hot water and citric acid caused sub-lethally harmed cells.

A fairly easy way to disinfect water is to boil it. The majority of dangerous organisms, notably viruses and bacteria that cause waterborne infections, are killed when water is heated to a high temperature of 100°C. The water must boil for at least 20 minutes in order to be most effective.

Hence, water that may be polluted is frequently sterilized by boiling. Using such high temperatures to kill germs is an example of a microbicidal method.

Soap bubbles can display impressive colors, which are the result of the enhanced reflection of light of particular wavelengths f
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light is 146.9 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

At the first interface, a phase shift occurs as the incident light is in air that has less refractive index compare to the thin film of soap bubble.

At the second interface, no shift occurs,

condition for constructive interference;

t = ( m + 1/2) × λ/2n

where m = 0, 1, 2, 3 . . . . . .

now, the condition for the constructive interference;

t = mλ/2n

where t is the thickness of the soap bubble,  λ is the wavelength of light and n is the refractive index of soap bubble.

so the minimum thickness of the film which will enhance reflection of light will be;

t_{min =  ( m + 1/2) × λ/2n

we substitute

t_{min =  ( 0 + 1/2) × 711 /2(1.21)

t_{min = 0.5 × 711/2.42

t_{min = 0.5 × 293.80165

t_{min = 146.9 nm

Therefore,  the minimum wall thickness that will enhance the reflection of light is 146.9 nm

denpristay [2]

Answer:

R₁ = 0.126 m

Explanation:

Let's use the definition of intensity which is the power per unit area

          I = P / A

the generated power is constant

          P = I A

power is

         P = E / t

if we perform the calculations for a given time, the wave energy is

        E = q V

we substitute

        P = \frac{q V\ A}{t}

we can write this equation for two points, point 1 the antenna and point 2 the receiver

         V₁A₁ = V₂A₂

          A₁ = \frac{V_2}{V_1} \ A_2

          A₁ = 0.1 10⁻³  5 10⁻⁴ /V₁

          A₁ = 5 10⁻⁸ /V₁

In general, the electric field on the antenna is very small on the order of micro volts, suppose V₁ = 1 10⁻⁶ V

           

let's calculate

          A₁ = 5 10⁻⁸ / 1 10⁻⁶

         A₁ = 5 10⁻² m²

the area of ​​a circle is

          A = π r²

we substitute

         π R1₁²= 5 10⁻²

         R₁ = \sqrt{    \frac{5 \ 10^{-2} }{\pi } }}

         R₁ = 0.126 m

A ruby laser delivers a 16.0-ns pulse of 4.20-MW average power. If the photons have a wavelength of 694.3 nm, how many are conta
stepan [7]

Answer:

The  value is  n  =  2.347 *10^{17} \  photons

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  amount of power delivered is  P  =  4.20 \  M W  =  4.20  *10^{6} \  W

      The  time taken is  t =  16.0ns  =  16.0 *10^{-9} \  s

       The  wavelength is  \lambda  =  694.3 \  nm =  694.3 *10^{-9} \  m

     

Generally the energy delivered is  mathematically represented as

     E  =  P  * t  =  \frac{n  *  h  *  c  }{\lambda }

Where  h is the Planck's constant with value  h  =  6.262  *10^{-34} \  J \cdot  s

           c  is the speed of light with value  c =  3.0*10^{8} \  m/s

     

So  

    4.20 *10^{6}  *  16*10^{-9}=  \frac{n  *  6.626 *10^{-34}  *  3.0*10^{8}  }{694.3 *10^{-9}}

=>    n  =  2.347 *10^{17} \  photons
