<span>A photon is characterized by either a wavelength, denoted by λ or equivalently an energy, denoted by E. There is an inverse relationship between the energy of a photon (E) and the wavelength of the light (λ) given by the equation: E=hc/λ E=hc/λ where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light. The value of these and other commonly used constants is given in the constants page. h = 6.626 × 10 -34 joule·s c = 2.998 × 108 m/s By multiplying to get a single expression, hc = 1.99 × 10-25 joules-m E=hc/λ (6.626*10^-34 J*s) x (2.998×10^8m/s)/ 1.5*10^-8 m = 1.32*10^-17 J</span>

numerical question : what is the required heat to raise the temperature of 2 kg parrafin by 10 Celsius if 44000 joules is requir
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The heat energy required is, E = 2200 J

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of paraffin, m = 2 Kg

The energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 200° C = 44000 J

Then the heat energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is given by,

Since 44000 J raises temperature by 200° C, then

                              E = 44000 J / 20

                                 = 2200 J

Hence, the energy required to raise the temperature of the paraffin by 10° C is, E = 2200 J

A bullet of mass 0.01 kg is fired in to a sand bas of mass 0.49 kg from a tree. The Sand bag with the bullet embedded in to it s
makvit [3.9K]

Since the bag was at rest, its initial momentum is zero. The velocity of the ball before collision is 500 ms-1.

<h3>Linear momentum</h3>

The term momentum in physics refers the product of mass and velocity. If we know mass of the object and its velocity, then we calculate the momentum.

Momentum before collision for the bullet = 0.01 kg × v

Momentum before collision for the bag = 0

Momentum after collision for the bag and bullet = (0.01 kg  +  0.49 kg) 10 = 5 Kgms-1

The velocity of the bullet before collision =  0.01 kg × v + 0 =  5 Kgms-1

v = 5 Kgms-1/0.01 kg

v = 500 ms-1

Two round concentric metal wires lie on a tabletop, one inside the other. The inner wire has a diameter of 19.0 cmcm and carries
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

magnetic field due to circular wire

= μ₀ i / 2r

i is current and r is radius of coil .

Magnetic fields due to inner coil

μ₀ x 20 / (2 x 9.5 x 10⁻²)

Magnetic field due to outer coil

= μ₀ x I / (2 x 19 x 10⁻²) , I is the current to be calculated

Total field

μ₀ x 20 /( 2 x 9.5 x 10⁻²) +μ₀ x I / (2 x 19 x 10⁻²)  = 0

20 + I /2 = 0

I = - 40 A

Current required is 40 A , and it will be in opposite direction.
