A microwave oven operating at 1.22 × 108 nm is used to heat 165 mL of water (roughly the volume of a teacup) from 23.0°C to 100.

0°C. Calculate the number of photons needed if 88.3 percent of microwave energy is converted to the thermal energy of water.

<u>Answer:</u> The number of photons are 3.7\times 10^8

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Wavelength of microwave = 1.22\times 10^8nm=0.122m    (Conversion factor:  1m=10^9nm  )

  • To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

h = Planck's constant = 6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{0.122m}\\\\E=1.63\times 10^{-24}J

Now, calculating the energy of the photon with 88.3 % efficiency, we get:

E=1.63\times 10^{-24}\times \frac{88.3}{100}=1.44\times 10^{-24}J

  • To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 165 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{165mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=165g

  • To calculate the amount of energy of photons to raise the temperature from 23°C to 100°C, we use the equation:

q=mc\Delta T

where,

m = mass of water = 165 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

\Delta T = change in temperature = T_2-T_1=100^oC-23^oC=77^oC

Putting values in above equation, we get:

q=165g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times 77^oC\\\\q=53157.72J

This energy is the amount of energy for 'n' number of photons.

  • To calculate the number of photons, we divide the total energy by energy of one photon, we get:

n=\frac{q}{E}

q = 53127.72 J

E = 1.44\times 10^{-24}J

Putting values in above equation, we get:

n=\frac{53157.72J}{1.44\times 10^{-24}J}=3.7\times 10^{28}

Hence, the number of photons are 3.7\times 10^8

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor = how
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Explanation:

In the United States, a standard "drink" of beer has 12 ounces, a standard "drink" of wine has 5 ounces and standard drink of liquor has 1.5 ounces. Then, we obtain the quantity of drinks by dividing the total volume of each drink by its respective unit volume and summing each term. That is:

N = \frac{12\,oz}{12\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{12\,oz}{5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }+\frac{3\,oz}{1.5\,\frac{oz}{dr} }

N = 1\,dr+2.4\,dr+2\,dr

N = 5.4\,dr

N = 6\,dr

12 ounces of beer plus 12 ounces of wine plus 3 ounces of liquor are equivalent to 6 drinks.

Pluto has been reassigned and is now a dwarf planet. Why did scientists think this reassignment was necessary? If you were a sci
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Explanation:

we humans have our own ify classification for celestial objects, most people are saddened that pluto is not a planet anymore altho it hasn't changed at all.

scientist say that if an object is going to be considered a planet it must fill in these three checkboxes:

You must be spherical, you must orbit a star, and you must have already cleared your path or debris.

Pluto fills in the first two boxes but it does orbit in the keyperbelt and there are 5 other objects just like it. this is why pluto has been dubbed a dwarf planet.
