Answer:

2.25\cdot 10^5 J

Explanation:

First of all, we have to find the power used by the hair dryer, which is given by

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

where

V = 120 V is the voltage

R=9.6 \Omega is the resistance of the hair dryer

Substituting,

P=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9.6 \Omega}=1500 W

Now we can find the total electrical energy used, given by

E=Pt

where P is the power and

t = 2.5 min = 150 s is the time

Substituting,

E=(1500 W)(150 s)=2.25\cdot 10^5 J

What do the different colors in a line spectrum represent? why are the spectra for each element unique?
Lana71 [14]
They typically represents different wavelengths of element due to its energy emission in the form of visible light. When an electron of that particular element move from a higher energy level down to a lower energy level, it gives off energy in the form of photon emission. Atom of a certain element has a unique electron arrangement thus it can considered that particular element's spectrum is unique.
