How do surface currents affect climate

1 answer:

8 0

Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Therefore, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

How many photons per second are emitted by the antenna of a microwave oven if its power output is 1.00 kw at a frequency of 2515

Norma-Jean [14]

The power of the antenna is
$P=1.00 kW=1000 W$
and since the power is the emitted energy divided by the time, the energy emitted per second is
$E=Pt = (1000 W)(1 s)=1000 J$

The frequency of the emitted photons is
$f=2515 MHz=2.515 \cdot 10^9 Hz$
So the energy of a single photon is
$E_1=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(2.515 \cdot 10^9 Hz)=1.66 \cdot 10^{-24} J$

Therefore, to find the number of emitted photons per second, we should divide the total energy emitted by the antenna in 1 second by the energy of a single photon:
$N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{1000 J}{1.66 \cdot 10^{-24} J}= 6.02 \cdot 10^{26}$
