Answer:

Power used by dryer is 2160 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current used by clothes dryer, I = 9 amps

Voltage used by dryer, V = 240 volts

We have to find the power used by it. Mathematically, the relationship between voltage, current and power is given by :

P=V\times I

Putting the values of I and V in above equation as :

P=240\ V\times 9\ A

P = 2160 watts

Hence, the power used by dryer is 2160 watts.

How is amplitude changed in an instrument or tuning fork
azamat

Amplitude is affected by the energy wave in the instrument. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amplitude of a periodic variable is a measure of its change over a single period. There are various definitions of amplitude, which are all functions of the magnitude of the differences between the variable's extreme values.

The amount of energy carried by a wave is related to the amplitude of the wave. Amplitude of an instrument is directly affected by the wave of the energy in the instruments. High energy wave means high amplitude and low energy wave means low amplitude in the instrument.

A converging lens brings rays of light together at a focal point. the bending of light rays is the result of
disa [49]
The bending of light rays is the result of refraction of light passing through the lens. A converging lens is curved on both sides such that the rays coming out of it come together at a point (converge). The point at which the right rays meet after refraction is called the focal point which is a real in the convex lens.

Imagine that an electron in an excited state in a nitrogen molecule decays to its ground state, emitting a photon with a frequen
mash [69]
Since energy cannot be created nor destroyed, the change in energy of the electron must be equal to the energy of the emitted photon.

The energy of the emitted photon is given by:
E=hf
where
h is the Planck constant
f is the photon frequency
Substituting f=8.88 \cdot 10^{14}Hz, we find
E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(8.88 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

This is the energy given to the emitted photon; it means this is also equal to the energy lost by the electron in the transition, so the variation of energy of the electron will have a negative sign (because the electron is losing energy by decaying from an excited state, with higher energy, to the ground state, with lower energy)
\Delta E= -5.86 \cdot 10^{-19} J

A pair of narrow slits, separated by 1.8 mm, is illuminated by a monochromatic light source. Light waves arrive at the two slits
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

750 nm

Explanation:

d  = separation of the slits = 1.8 mm = 0.0018 m

λ = wavelength of monochromatic light

D  = screen distance = 4.8 m

y = position of first bright fringe = \frac{1cm}{5 fringe} = \frac{0.01}{5} = 0.002 m

n  = order = 1

Position of first bright fringe is given as

y = \frac{nD\lambda }{d}

0.002 = \frac{(1)(4.8)\lambda }{0.0018}

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 750 nm
