How does a laser work?

Physics
1 answer:
a_sh-v [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A laser is created when the electrons in atoms in special glasses, crystals, or gases absorb energy from an electrical current or another laser and become “excited.” The excited electrons move from a lower-energy orbit to a higher-energy orbit around the atom's nucleus.

A) 350 J

- The initial internal energy of the cup is

U_i = 230 J

- The final internal energy of the cup is

U_f = 580 J

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

U_f - U_i = Q+W

where

Q is the heat absorbed by the system

W is the work done on the system

The work done on the system in this case is 0, so we can rewrite the equation as

U_f - U_i = Q

And so we find the heat transferred

Q=580 J - 230 J=350 J

B) IN the cup

Explanation:

in this situation, we see that the internal energy of the cup increases. The internal energy of an object/substance is proportional to its temperature, so it is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of the object/substance. Therefore, in this case, the temperature (and the energy of the molecules of the substance) has increased: this means that heat has been transferred INTO the system from the environment (the heat came from the sun).

In order for gravitational potential energy to be stored, there must be _____.
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: 1

an object positioned at some height in a gravitational field

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy of an object is the energy stored due to position of the object or position at certain height relative to zero position.

Gravitational potential energy can also be expressed as object position at some height above or below zero position in a gravitational field

I think 1 and 2 make sense. But 1 make more sense than 2

A capacitor in a single-loop RC circuit is charged to 85% of its final potential difference in 2.4 s. What is the time constant
atroni [7]

Answer:

The  time constant is  \tau  = 1.265 s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     the time take to charge is  t = 2.4 \  s

The mathematically representation for voltage potential of a capacitor at different time is

        V  =  V_o  - e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }

Where  \tau  is the time constant  

           V_o is the potential of the capacitor when it is full

     So  the capacitor potential will be  100%  when it is full thus  V_o  =100%  =  1  

and from the  question we are told that the  at the given time the potential of the capacitor is 85% = 0.85 of its final potential so

      V  = 0.85

Hence

     0.85 =  1 -  e^{-\frac{2.4}{\tau } }

       - {\frac{2.4}{\tau } }  =  ln0.15

        \tau  = 1.265 s
