The energy efficiency of an incandescent light bulb (= the percentage of consumed power that is actually converted into radiated

light) is typically around 5%. Suppose a certain brand of 75 W incandescent bulb emits light primarily at wavelength ???? = 570 nm.
Calculate the total number of photons emitted by one of those bulbs if it has been shining for a 6-hour period.

Answer:

4*10^22 photons

Explanation:

To find the number of photons is necessary to calculate the total energy of the light emitted in one hour = 3600s:

E'=0.05E=0.05Pt=0.05(75J/s)(3600s)=13.500J

Furthermore, is necessary to find the  associated energy to the photon 0f 570nm with following formula:

E'=h\nu=h\frac{c}{\lambda}

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^-34 Js

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

wavelength = 570*10^-9 m

E_p=(6.62*10^{-34}Js)\frac{3*10^{8}m/s}{570*10^{-9}m}=3.484*20^{-29}J

Finally you divide E' between Ep to find the number of photons:

n=\frac{E'}{E_p}=\frac{13.500J}{3.484*10^{-19}}\approx4*10^{22}photons

the number of emitted photons is 4*10^22

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Explanation:

I = 20KA = 20,000A

r = 4.9 m

how large a magnetic field would you experience =  u.I/2πr

how large a magnetic field would you experience = (4π x10∧-7) × 20000/2π × 4.9

how large a magnetic field would you experience = 8.16 x 10∧-4T

Natalija [7]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter C. A solar-powered car converts light energy to mechanical energy.

Solar cars use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into energy. Photovoltaic cells are the components in solar panels that convert the sun's energy to electricity<span>. They're made up of semiconductors, usually silicon, that absorb the light.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Maru [420]

Answer:

A charge of -5.02 nC is uniformly distributed on a thin square sheet of nonconducting material of edge length 21.8 cm. "What is the surface charge density of the sheet"?

Explanation:

Surface charge density is a measure of how much electric charge is accumulated over a surface. It can be calculated as the charge per unit area.

We will convert all parameters in SI units.

Charge = Q = -5.02nC

Q  = -5.02×10^{-9}C

As it is clear from question that Sheet is a square (All sides will be of equal length)

Area = A = (21.8×10^{-2}m) (21.8×10^{-2}m)  = 4.75×10^{-4}m²

A  = 4.75×10^{-4}m²

Surface charge density = Q/A

Surface charge density = (-5.02×10^{-9}C)/(4.75×10^{-4}m²)

Surface charge density = -1.057×10^{-5} Cm^{-2}
