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

A uniformly charged, straight filament 7.00m in length has a total positive charge of 2.00μC. An uncharged card-board cylinder 2
TEA [102]

The electric field at the surface of the cylinder is 51428V/m

Given data:

• The length of the charge is l=  7m.

• The charge is q = 2μC..

• The radius the cylinder is r = 10 cm

Since the filament length is so large as compared to the cylinder length that the infinite line of charge can be assumed.

The expression to calculate the electric field is given as,

E=2kλ/r

Here, λ is the linear charge density.

Substitute the values in the above equation,

E = (2×9×109N⋅m^2/C^2×2×10^−6C)/0.1m×7m

E = 51428N/C×(V/m)/(N/C)

=51428V/m

An electric charge is the property of matter where it has more or fewer electrons than protons in its atoms. Electrons carry a negative charge and protons carry a positive charge. Matter is positively charged if it contains more protons than electrons, and negatively charged if it contains more electrons than protons.

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is moving upward at15m/s. If it takes 8.0 sec before the package strikes the ground,
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

313.6 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Time (t) = 8 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Height (h) =?

The height at which the package was dropped can be obtained as follow:

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 8²

h = 4.9 × 64

h = 313.6 m

Thus, the package was at a height of 313.6 m when it was dropped.
