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

Use this excerpt from the text to answer the question. "Some people insist the United States is more properly called a republic
Bond [772]
Political power is utilized in a roundabout way by chose authorities, not straightforwardly by the natives themselves. Oftentimes, legislators and numerous standard Americans allude to the United States as a majority rules system. Others locate this disturbing in light of the fact that, not at all like in a vote based system where nationals vote specifically on laws, in the United States, chose agents do – and, thusly, the U.S. is a republic.
