It really depends on what the bulb is being used for, since efficiency means how much of the output is USEFUL.
If the bulb is being used for light in a dark room, then it produces (8.2% x 21W) = 1.72 joules per second of light energy.
If the bulb is being used to keep a hamster cage or a fish tank warm, then the 8.2% is the useful part, and the light is the other (91.8% x 21W) = 19.28 joules per second.

Sati [7]

Answer:

m_2 = 23 kg

Explanation:

As we know that the tension in two strings are

T_2 = 111 N

T_4 = 222 N

now we have

F_{net} = ma

so we can say

(m_1 + m_2)a = T_2

(12 + m_2)a = 111

also we have

(m_1 + m_2 + m_3 + m_4) a = T_4

(12 + m_2 + 15 + 20) a = 222

now divide two equations

\frac{222}{111} = \frac{47 + m_2}{12 + m_2}

2m_2 + 24 = 47 + m_2

m_2 = 23 kg

In which scenario does radiation occur?
kaheart [24]
Pretty sure a, because it’s a stove and it uses electricity like almost a normal appliance for the kitchen would, the rest are just a natural force without any radiation to occur in them, electricity is the same as technology and believe it or not technology like phones give off radiation, so yeah. hope this was helpful!

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

Explanation:

For this exercise we must suppose a criterion when two light sources are considered separated, we use the most common criterion the Rayleigh criterion that establishes that two light sources are separated census the central maximum of one of them coincides with the first minimum of the other source

         

Let's write the diffraction equation for a slit

       a sin θ = m λ

The first minimum occurs for m = 1, also field in these we experience the angles are very small, we can approximate the sin θ = θ

             θ = λ / a

In our case, the pupil is circular, so the system must be solved in polar coordinates, so a numerical constant is introduced.

           θ = 1.22 λ / D

Where D is the diameter of the pupil

 Let's apply this equation to our case

        θ = 1.22 600 10⁻⁹ / 0.460 10⁻²

        θ = 1.591 10⁻² rad

This is the angle separation to solve the two light sources
