Microwave ovens use microwave radiation to heat food. the microwaves are absorbed by the water molecules in the food, which is t

ransferred to other components of the food. as the water becomes hotter, so does the food. part a suppose that the microwave radiation has a wavelength of 11.2 cm . how many photons are required to heat 225 ml of coffee from 25.0 ∘c to 62.0 ∘c? assume that the coffee has the same density, 0.997 g/ml , and specific heat capacity, 4.184 j/(g⋅k) , as water over this temperature range.

<span>step 1: energy required to heat coffee E = m Cp dT E = energy to heat coffee m = mass coffee = 225 mL x (0.997 g / mL) = 224g Cp = heat capacity of coffee = 4.184 J / gK dT = change in temp of coffee = 62.0 - 25.0 C = 37.0 C E = (224 g) x (4.184 J / gK) x (37.0 C) = 3.46x10^4 J step2: find energy of a single photon of the radiation E = hc / λ E = energy of the photon h = planck's constant = 6.626x10^-34 J s c = speed of light = 3.00x10^8 m/s λ = wavelength = 11.2 cm = 11.2 cm x (1m / 100 cm) = 0.112 m E = (6.626x10^-34 J s) x (3.00x10^8 m/s) / (0.112 m) = 1.77x10^-16 J step3: Number of photons 3.46x10^4 J x ( 1 photon / 1.77x10^-16 J) = 1.95x10^20 photons</span>

Answer:

n = 1.96 \times 10^{28} photons

Explanation:

Mass of the coffee is given as

mass = density\times volume

here we know that

density = 0.997 g/ml

volume = 225 ml

now mass of coffee will be

m = 0.997 \times 225 = 224.325 g

now heat required to raise the temperature of coffee will be

Q = ms\Delta T

Q = 224.325 \times 4.184 \times (62 - 25)

Q = 34727.3 J

now we know that energy of one photon is

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

E = \frac{(6.6 \times 10^{-34}) ( 3 \times 10^8)}{0.112}

E = 1.77 \times 10^{-24} J

now it requires "n" photons to complete the energy

n\times (1.77 \times 10^{-24}) = 34727.3

n = 1.96 \times 10^{28}

If a source of sound waves is rapidly approaching a person, the sound heard by the person appears to have
velikii [3]

Correct answer choice is:

D. A frequency higher than the original frequency.

Explanation:

This is a true case of Doppler's effect. The Doppler effect can be defined as the effect originated by a traveling source of waves in which there is a visible higher variation in pulse for observers towards what the source is progressing and a visible descending shift in rate for observers from what the source is dropping.

w strong are you? Could you turn a moving car with just your own strength? No way! If a normal driver inputs about 50 N of force
malfutka [58]

The mechanical advantage of a simple machine is the measure of its amplified force gain.

The mechanical advantage  is defined as the force amplified by a machine to the force required to generate such output.

Mathematically\ mechanical\ advantage\ MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

F_{o} \ and\ F_{i} are the amplified force and applied force. We may also consider them as output and input force.          


In the given question, the force given to the steering wheel is 50 N.

The output force produced by the steering wheel is 3750 N.

Hence the mechanical advantage will be-

                               MA=\frac{F_{o}} {F_{i}}

                                       =\frac{3750\ N}{50\ N}

                                       =75      [ans]

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft
barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>
