Nuclear fusion occurs in stars. a. True b. False

AnnyKZ [126]

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle). READ THIS AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND I THINK IS TRUE

Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.2 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

$1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J$

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

$\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J$

To calibrate the calorimeter electrically, a constant voltage of 3.6 V is applied and a current of 2.6 A flows for a period of 3

hodyreva [135]

Answer : The correct option is, (c) $3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the energy or heat.

Formula used :

$E=V\times I\times t$

where,

E = energy (in joules)

V = voltage (in volt)

I = current (in ampere)

t = time (in seconds)

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$E=(3.6V)\times (2.6A)\times (350s)$

$E=3276J$

Now we have to calculate the heat capacity of the calorimeter.

Formula used :

$C=\frac{E}{\Delta T}=\frac{E}{T_{final}-T_{initial}}$

where,

C = heat capacity of the calorimeter

$T_{initial}$ = initial temperature = $20.3^oC$

$T_{final}$ = final temperature = $29.1^oC$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$C=\frac{3276J}{(29.1-20.3)^oC}$

$C=372.27J/^oC=3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Therefore, the heat capacity of the calorimeter is, $3.7\times 10^2J/^oC$

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission

Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.
