Answer:

It is a very intense star

Explanation:

As we know by Electromagnetic radiations the energy of spectrum in decreasing order is given as

1) Gamma Rays

2) X rays

3) Ultraviolet Rays

4) Visible Light

5) Infrared waves

6) Microwaves

7) Radio waves

So here we can say that ultraviolet rays are at peak intensity for the spectrum in the radiation which means major proportion of the spectrum is consisting this part of the electromagnetic waves

So here the star would be very intense due to large number of this spectrum.

An alternative to CFL bulbs and incandescent bulbs are light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs. A 16-W LED bulb can replace a 100-W inc

Yanka [14]

Answer:

LED bulb = 0.145 A

Incandescent bulb = 0.909 A

CFL bulb = 0.218 A

Explanation:

Given:

Power rating of LED bulb (P₁) = 16 W

Power rating of incandescent bulb (P₂) = 100 W

Power rating of CFL bulb (P₃) = 24 W

Terminal voltage across the circuit (V) = 110 V

We know that, power is related to terminal voltage and current drawn as:

$P=VI$

Express this in terms of 'I'. This gives,

$I=\frac{P}{V}$

Now, calculate the current drawn in each bulb using their respective values.

For LED bulb, $P_1=16\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_1=\frac{16\ W}{110\ V}=0.145\ A$

For incandescent bulb, $P_2=100\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_2=\frac{100\ W}{110\ V}=0.909\ A$

For CFL bulb, $P_3=24\ W, V=110\ V$

So, current drawn is given as:

$I_3=\frac{24\ W}{110\ V}=0.218\ A$

Therefore, the currents drawn through LED bulb, incandescent bulb and CFL bulb are 0.145 A, 0.909 A and 0.218 A respectively.

Two long, parallel wires carry currents of different magnitudes. If the amount of current in one of the wires is doubled, what h

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

Explanation:

force on parallel current carrying wire, F = BILsinθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

L is the length of the wire

I is the magnitude of current on the wire

θ is the angle of inclination of the wire

Assuming B, L and θ is constant, then F ∝ I

F = kI

$\frac{F_1}{I_1} = \frac{F_2}{I_2}$

When the amount of current is doubled in one of the wires, lets say the second wire;

$\frac{F_1}{I_1} = \frac{F_2}{2I_1} \\\\F_2 = \frac{2F_1I_1}{I_1} \\\\F_2 =2F_1$

Also, if will double the amount of current on the first wire, then

F₁ = 2F₂

Therefore, the magnitude of the force that each wire exerts on the other will increase by a factor of two.

Which of the following metals require ultraviolet light to exhibit the photoelectric effect?The options available: a. Cs, work f

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light starts at the end of the visible light spectrum, where violet light ends:

$\lambda=380 nm =3.8\cdot 10^{-7}m$ (wavelength of lowest-energy ultraviolet light)

So, the lowest energy of ultraviolet light can be found by using the formula

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

Substituting,

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.8\cdot 10^{-7} m}=5.23\cdot 10^{-19}J$

And keeping in mind that

$1 eV = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}J$

This energy converted into electronvolts is

$E=\frac{5.23\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=3.27 eV$

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the surface of the metal. Therefore, the metals that exhibit photoelectric effect are the ones whose work function is larger than the energy we found previously, so:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Because for all the other metals, visible light will be enough to extract photoelectrons.
