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

C. change length and direction

Explanation:

The density of the material in which the light wave is travelling affects the speed of the wave. Different materials have different densities and they effect differently light waves which travel through them. Light waves may change direction at the boundary between two transparent materials, depending on material density. Density also impacts the speed of light. The denser the material, the slower light travels through it. The wavelength also decreases as light travels through the denser medium.

At 7.0°c, the volume of a gas is 49 ml. at the same pressure, its volume is 74 ml at what temperature?
Rashid [163]
So i converted everything first; 
<span>7.0 C ---> 280 K </span>
<span>49 mL---> 0.049 L </span>
<span>74mL---> 0.074 L </span>
<span>THEN I tried setting it up by the combined law formula which is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2 </span>

vovangra [49]

Answer:

L = Pt/M

Explanation:

Power, P= Q/t = mL/t

​

we know that, (Q=m×l)

Now ⇒l= Pt/M

​

Thus l= Pt/M
