Lasers are now used in eye surgery. Given the wavelength of a certain laser is 514 nm and the power of the laser is 1.1 W, how m

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: $1.593*10^{17} photons$ released if the laser is used 0.056 s during the surgery

Explanation:

First, you have to calculate the energy of each photon according to Einstein's theoty, given by:

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

Where $\lambda$ is the wavelength, $h$ is the Planck's constant and $h$ is the speed of light

$h = 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}$ -> Planck's constant

$c = 3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}$ -> Speed of light

So, replacing in the equation:

$E =\frac{ 6.626*10^{-34} \frac{m^{2} kg }{s}*3*10^{8} \frac{m}{s}}{514*10^-9 m}$

Then, the energy of each released photon by the laser is:

$E = 3.867*10^{-19} \frac{J}{photons}$

After, you do the inverse of the energy per phothon and as a result, you will have the number of photons in a Joule of energy:

$\frac{1}{3.867*10^{-19}} = 2.586*10^{18} \frac{photons}{J}$

The power of the laser is 1.1 W, or 1.1 J/s, that means that you can calculate how many photons the laser realease every second:

$2.586*10^{18}\frac{photons}{J} * 1.1 \frac{J}{s} = 2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s}$

And by doing a simple rule of three, if $2.844*10^{18} photons$ are released every second, then in 0.056 s:

$0.056 s*2.844*10^{18} \frac{photons}{s} = 1.593*10^{17} photons$ are released during the surgery

North America experienced all of the following during the last glacial period EXCEPT alpine glaciers covered the Rocky and Casca

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

the Hudson Bay was covered with alpine glaciers

Explanation:

During the last glacial period, large portions of North America were covered with ice. The majority of the ice was from the ice sheets that were covering Canada and the northern part of the United States, and the alpine glaciers on the mountain ranges. Hudson Bay was all frozen at this point of time. It was not covered with alpine glaciers though, instead it was covered with the ice of the extended ice sheets, with the ice cover reaching up to 2 km in thickness.

The core of a 400 Hz aircraft transformer has a net cross-sectional area of 13 cm2. The maximum flux density is 0.9 T, and there

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

32.76 Volt

Explanation:

frequency, f = 400 Hz

Area of crossection, A = 13 cm²

Maximum flux density, B = 0.9 tesla

Number of turns in secondary coil, N = 70

Let the maximum induced voltage is e.

According to the Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, the induced emf is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

e = dФ/dt

$e=\frac{NBA}{t}$

Time is defined as the reciprocal of frequency.

So, e = N B A f

e = 70 x 0.9 x 13 x 10^-4 x 400

e = 32.76 volt

In your own words, explain why sinkholes are very common in Florida. List one use of sinkholes in Florida.

melamori03 [73]

Florida's peninsula is made up of porous carbonate rocks such as limestone When the dirt, clay or sand gets too heavy for the limestone roof, it can break and form a sinkhole. Sinkholes are caused naturally.

dont use my words put this in your own hope it helps you understand it better
