Energy of single uv photon= 7.95 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

Energy of a mole of photons=4788213 J

Explanation:

the energy of a photon is given by $E= \frac{h c}{\lambda}$

h= planck's constant=6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

λ= wavelength=25 nm= 25 x 10⁻⁹ m

c= velocity of light= 3 x 10⁸ m/s

so $E= \frac{6.626\times10^{-34}(3\times10^{8})}{25\times10^{-9}}$

E=7.95 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

so energy of one photon=7.95 x 10⁻¹⁸ J

Energy of one mole of photons= 6.022 x 10²³ (7.95 x 10⁻¹⁸ J)

Energy of one mole of photons=4788213 J

Explanation:

Given

$s=s_0+v_0t+\frac{a_0t^2}{2}+ \frac{j_0t^3}{6}+\frac{S_0t^4}{24}+\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Solving (a): Units and dimension of $s_0$

From the question, we understand that:

$s \to L$ --- length

$t \to T$ --- time

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=s_0$

Rewrite as:

$s_0=s$

This implies that $s_0$ has the same unit and dimension as $s$

Hence:

$s_0 \to L$ --- dimension

$s_o \to$ Length (meters, kilometers, etc.)

Solving (b): Units and dimension of $v_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=v_0t$

Rewrite as:

$v_0t = s$

Make $v_0$ the subject

$v_0 = \frac{s}{t}$

Replace s and t with their units

$v_0 = \frac{L}{T}$

$v_0 = LT^{-1}$

Hence:

$v_0 \to LT^{-1}$ --- dimension

$v_0 \to$ $m/s$ --- unit

Solving (c): Units and dimension of $a_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{a_0t^2}{2}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{a_0t^2}{2} = s_0$

Make $a_0$ the subject

$a_0 = \frac{2s_0}{t^2}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$a_0 = \frac{L}{T^2}\\$

$a_0 = LT^{-2$

Hence:

$a_0 = LT^{-2$ --- dimension

$a_0 \to$ $m/s^2$ --- acceleration

Solving (d): Units and dimension of $j_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{j_0t^3}{6}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{j_0t^3}{6} = s$

Make $j_0$ the subject

$j_0 = \frac{6s}{t^3}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$j_0 = \frac{L}{T^3}$

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$

Hence:

$j_0 = LT^{-3}$ --- dimension

$j_0 \to$ $m/s^3$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $s_0$

Remove the other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{S_0t^4}{24}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{S_0t^4}{24} = s$

Make $S_0$ the subject

$S_0 = \frac{24s}{t^4}$

Replace s and t with their units [ignore all constants]

$S_0 = \frac{L}{T^4}$

$S_0 = LT^{-4$

Hence:

$S_0 = LT^{-4$ --- dimension

$S_0 \to$ $m/s^4$ --- unit

Solving (e): Units and dimension of $c$

Ignore other terms of the equation, we have:

$s=\frac{ct^5}{120}$

Rewrite as:

$\frac{ct^5}{120} = s$

Make $c$ the subject

$c = \frac{120s}{t^5}$

Replace s and t with their units [Ignore all constants]

$c = \frac{L}{T^5}$

$c = LT^{-5}$

Hence:

$c \to LT^{-5}$ --- dimension

$c \to m/s^5$ --- units

Can anyone help me with this question please

JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

V=u+at

where,

v=final speed

u=initial speed,(starting speed)

a=acceleration

t=time

v=u+at = 6=2+a*2

6=2+2a

2a=6-2

2a=4

a=4/2 = 2

a =2

2. to find time taken

v=u+at

25=5*2t

2t=25-5

2t=20

t=20/2

t=10sec

3. finding final speed

v=u+at

v=4+10*2

=4+20

v=24m/sec

5.v=u+at

=5+8*10

=5+80

V=85m/sev

6. v=u+at

8=u+4*2

8=u+8

U=8/8

u=1

these are your missing values

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

B'= 3.333 B

Explanation:

Lets take

Initial area = A

Magnetic field = B

The area after compression

A'=0.3 A

Magnetic field = B'

We know that flux ,Ф

Ф = B A

Given that flux is constant so

B A = B' A'

B A=B' x 0.3 A

B'= 3.333 B

It means that magnetic field will increase.
