A laser used to read CDs emits red light of wavelength 700 nm. How many photons does it emit each second if its power is?(a) 0.1

Elenna [48]

power = work/time

watt = joule/sec

a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec

work = power * time

= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules

work is northing but energy

therefore energy is 0.1joules

according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency

hence, n = E/hν

or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)

n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons

b) similar to the above calculation

here E = 1.0joules

n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons

A city in Laguna generates 0.96 kg per capita per day of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Makati City in Metro Manila generates 1.9

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

i) amount of MSW generated:

Laguna: 19200 Kg/day

Makati: 38000 Kg/day

ii) number of trucks to collect twice weekly:

Laguna: 3 trucks

Makati: 5 trucks

iii) volume of MSW in tons that enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 292 ton/week

Explanation:

i) Laguna: 0.96 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 19200 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Laguna: 19200 Kg/day * ( 7day/ week ) = 134400 Kg/week

Makati: 1.9 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 38000 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Makati: 38000 Kg/day * ( 7day/week ) = 266000 Kg/week

ii) truck capacity = 4.4 ton * ( Kg / 0.0011 ton ) = 4000 Kg

⇒ quote/day = 4000 Kg * 0.75 = 3000 Kg

⇒ loads/day = 2 * 3000 kg = 6000 Kg

⇒ operate/week = 5 * 6000 Kg = 30000 Kg

∴ Laguna: number of trucks needed/week= 134400 / 30000 = 4.48 ≅ 5 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 5 / 2 = 2.5 ≅ 3 trucks

∴ Makati : number of trucks needed/week = 266000 / 30000 = 8.86 ≅ 9 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 9 / 2 = 4.5 ≅ 5 trucks

iii) enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 134400Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 266000Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 292 ton/week
