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

A body is dropped from the roof of a 20 m high building by how much:
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

t = 2.01 s

Vf = 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

It's know through the International System that the earth's gravity is 9.8 m/s², then we have;

Data:

  • Height (h) = 20 m
  • Gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Time (t) = ?
  • Final Velocity (Vf) = ?

==================================================================

Time

Use formula:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*h}{g}}}

Replace:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{2*20m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

Everything inside the root is solved first. So, we solve the multiplication of the numerator:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{\frac{40m}{9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{t=\sqrt{4.08s}}

The square root is performed:

  • \boxed{t=2.01s}

==================================================================

Final Velocity

use formula:

  • Vf = g * t

Replace:

  • Vf = 9.8 m/s² * 2.01 s

Multiply:

  • Vf = 19.7 m/s

==================================================================

An experimental tungsten light bulb filament has a length of 5 cm and a diameter of 0.074 cm. The filament is basically just a w
adell [148]

Answer:

power emitted is 1.75 W

Explanation:

given data

length l = 5 cm = 5 ×10^{-2} m

diameter d = 0.074 cm = 74 ×10^{-5} m

total filament emissivity = 0.300

temperature = 3068 K

to find out

power emitted

solution

we find first area that is π×d×L

area = π×d×L

area = π×74 ×10^{-5}×5 ×10^{-2}

area = 1162.3892  ×10^{-5} m²

so here power emitted  is express as

power emitted  = E × σ × area × (temperature)^4

put here all value

power emitted  = 0.300× 5.67 × 1162.3892  ×10^{-5}  × (3068)^4

power emitted = 1.75 W

At what speed does a 1,248 kg compact car have the same kinetic energy as a 18,777 kg truck going 26 km/h?
notka56 [123]

The speed of car is 100.8km/h

KE =  \frac{1}{2} m(v \: truck ) {}^{2}

= 0.5 \times 18777 \times  \frac{26}{3.6} \times  \frac{26}{3.6}

= 489708.79j

=  \frac{1}{2}  \times 1248 \times( v \: car) {}^{2}

= 624v {}^{2}

so \: v {}^{2}  =  \frac{489708.7}{624}

= 784

v =  \sqrt{784}

v = 28m/s

v car= 28×3.6

=100.8km/h

Hence, the speed of the car is 100.8km/h
