The missing question is: how many photons are produced per second?

Answer:

2.0\cdot 10^{20}

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by

E_1 = \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, the photons have wavelength

\lambda = 400 nm = 400 \cdot 10^{-9} m, so each photon has an energy of

E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34})(3\cdot 10^8)}{400\cdot 10^{-9}}=4.97\cdot 10^{-19} J

The total energy emitted by the bulb in 1 second is

E = 100 J

Therefore, the number of photons emitted per second is

n=\frac{E}{E_1}=\frac{100}{4.97\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.0\cdot 10^{20}

Differenciate between fundamentals quantities and derived quantities
REY [17]

Answer:

Fundamental quantities are the base quantities of a unit system, and they are defined independent of the other...

• Derived quantities are based on fundamental quantities, and they can be given in terms of fundamental quantities.

• In SI units, derived units are often given names of people such as Newton and Joule.

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .

How does the amount of acid rain in a area affect the land
Mice21 [21]
The ecological effects of acid rain are most clearly seen in aquatic environments, such as streams, lakes, and marshes where it can be harmful to fish and other wildlife. As it flows through the soil, acidic rain water can leach aluminum from soil clay particles and then flow into streams and lakes. The more acid that is introduced to the ecosystem, the more aluminum is released.

Some types of plants and animals are able to tolerate acidic waters and moderate amounts of aluminum. Others, however, are acid-sensitive and will be lost as the pH declines. Generally, the young of most species are more sensitive to environmental conditions than adults. At pH 5, most fish eggs cannot hatch. At lower pH levels, some adult fish die. Some acidic lakes have no fish. Even if a species of fish or animal can tolerate moderately acidic water, the animals or plants it eats might not. For example, frogs have a critical pH around 4, but the mayflies they eat are more sensitive and may not survive pH below 5.5.

Effects of Acid Rain on Plants and Trees:

Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain. Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals. Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow.
At high elevations, acidic fog and clouds might strip nutrients from trees’ foliage, leaving them with brown or dead leaves and needles. The trees are then less able to absorb sunlight, which makes them weak and less able to withstand freezing temperatures.
Hope I helped you :)
