Missing part in the text of the problem: 
"<span>Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 3.0×10^−6 m"</span>

First we can calculate the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of the water, which is given by
Q=m C_s \Delta T
where
m=1.8 g is the mass of the water
C_s = 4.18 J/(g K) is the specific heat capacity of the water
\Delta T=2.5 K is the increase in temperature.

Substituting the data, we find
Q=(1.8 g)(4.18 J/(gK))(2.5 K)=18.8 J=E

We know that each photon carries an energy of
E_1 = hf
where h is the Planck constant and f the frequency of the photon. Using the wavelength, we can find the photon frequency:
\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^{-6} m}=1 \cdot 10^{14}Hz

So, the energy of a single photon of this frequency is
E_1 = hf =(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} J)(1 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J

and the number of photons needed is the total energy needed divided by the energy of a single photon:
N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{18.8 J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-20} J} =2.84 \cdot 10^{20} photons

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i
fomenos

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

Log_{10}(10) = 1

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

log_{10}(1,000,000)

We can express this also as,

log_{10}(10^6)

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

6*log_{10}(10)

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

6*1=6

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6

Answer:

²₁H + ³₂He —> ⁴₂He + ¹₁H

Explanation:

From the question given above,

²₁H + ³₂He —> __ + ¹₁H

Let ⁿₐX be the unknown.

Thus the equation becomes:

²₁H + ³₂He —> ⁿₐX + ¹₁H

We shall determine, n, a and X. This can be obtained as follow:

For n:

2 + 3 = n + 1

5 = n + 1

Collect like terms

n = 5 – 1

n = 4

For a:

1 + 2 = a + 1

3 = a + 1

Collect like terms

a = 3 – 1

a = 2

For X:

n = 4

a = 2

X =?

ⁿₐX => ⁴₂X => ⁴₂He

Thus, the balanced equation is

²₁H + ³₂He —> ⁴₂He + ¹₁H

The surface charge density on an infinite charged plane is - 2.10 ×10−6C/m2. A proton is shot straight away from the plane at 2.
inn [45]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate electric field because of the plate is as follows.

         E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

            = \frac{2.10 \times 10^{-6}}{2 \times 8.85 \times 10^{-12}}

           = 1.18 \times 10^{5} N/C

Now, we will consider that equilibrium of forces are present there. So,

                   ma = qE

       a = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.18 \times 10^{5}}{1.67 \times 10^{-27}}

          = 1.13 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

According to the third equation of motion,

         v^{2} = 2 \times a \times d

or,      d = \frac{v^{2}}{2d}

             = \frac{(2.4 \times 10^{6})^{2}}{2 \times 1.13 \times 10^{13}}

             = 0.254 m

Thus, we can conclude that the proton will travel 0.254 m before reaching its turning point.
