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

svlad2 [7]

If current is passed through two parallel conductors in the same direction and the conductors are placed near each other, they will​ attract each other.

<h3>What is electric current?</h3>

Electric current can be defined as the flow of electrons.

Since electrons are easily removed from atom and are very mobile, the flow of electrons constitute an electric current.

Materials which allow electric current to flow through them are known as conductors. Examples of conductors are metals, and electrolytes.

On the other hand, materials which do not allow electric current to pass through them are known as insulators. Examples of insulators are wood and rubber.

The flow of current is known as electricity.

Parallel conductors with current flowing through them in the same direction are attracted to each other as a result of a magnetic field produced by the flow of current.

In conclusion, conductors allow electric current to pass through and the flow of current through a conductor produces a magnetic field.

3. Explain why it is, regardless of the location, at a certain distance between the two points, you will perceive the two points
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Hello your question is missing some parts attached below is the missing part of your question

answer: <em>many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain</em>.

Explanation:

The reason regardless of the location that will make you perceive the two points as a single point rather than as two distinct points is that many primary sensory Neurons will converge and become a single Neuron and the single Neuron will send a single harmonized signal to the Brain.

In a building with 10.000 cubic feet where the air changes every two hours, what the rate of air change? A. 167.7 cfm B. 83.3 cf
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Flow rate of air is given as 83.33 cubic feet per minute

Explanation:

As we know that total volume of the air flow is given as

V = 10,000 cubic feet

also we know that total time is

t = 2 hours = 120 min

now we have flow rate given as

Q = \frac{V}{t}

Q = \frac{10000}{120}

Q = 83.3 cf/m
