A modern compact fluorescent lamp contains 1.4 mg of mercury (Hg). If each mercury atom in the lamp were to emit a single photon

Reika [66]

Answer:

A. 1.64 J

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find how many moles correspond to 1.4 mg of mercury. We have:

$n=\frac{m}{M_m}$

where

n is the number of moles

m = 1.4 mg = 0.0014 g is the mass of mercury

Mm = 200.6 g/mol is the molar mass of mercury

Substituting, we find

$n=\frac{0.0014 g}{200.6 g/mol}=7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol$

Now we have to find the number of atoms contained in this sample of mercury, which is given by:

$N=n N_A$

where

n is the number of moles

$N_A=6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1}$ is the Avogadro number

Substituting,

$N=(7.0\cdot 10^{-6} mol)(6.022\cdot 10^{23} mol^{-1})=4.22\cdot 10^{18}$ atoms

The energy emitted by each atom (the energy of one photon) is

$E_1 = \frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda=508 nm=5.08\cdot 10^{-7}nm$ is the wavelength

Substituting,

$E_1 = \frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{5.08\cdot 10^{-7} m}=3.92\cdot 10^{-19} J$

And so, the total energy emitted by the sample is

$E=nE_1 = (4.22\cdot 10^{18} )(3.92\cdot 10^{-19}J)=1.64 J$

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

$d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}$

$t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}$

t is the reaction time

$t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}$

t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

A hiker determines the length of a lake by listening for the echo of her shout reflected by a cliff at the far end of the lake.

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

L = 499 m

Explanation:

If we assume that the speed of sound is constant, that travels along a straight line, and that the echo is instantaneous, we can find the total distance travelled by the sound, as follows, just applying the definition of average velocity:

$\Delta x = v_{s} * t = 343 m/s* 2.91 s = 998 m$

If we assume that the time needed to reach to the cliff, is the same used for the return travel, the length of the lake will be exactly half of the total distance calculated:

$l_{lake} = \frac{\Delta x}{2} = \frac{998m}{2} = 499 m$

The length of the lake is 499 m.
