Microwave ovens work by irradiating food with microwaves, which are absorbed by the water molecules in the food and converted to

heat. Assuming that microwave ovens emit radiation with a wavelength of 29.7 cm, calculate how many photons are emitted per second in a 600-Watt microwave oven. (1 W = 1 J/s)

Answer:

8.969×10²⁶ photons

Explanation:

From the question,

Using,

E = hc/λ........................... Equation 1

Where E = Energy of the photon, h = Planck's constant, c = speed of light, λ = wave length of the photon.

Given: h =  6.626×10⁻³⁴ J.s, c = 3×10⁸ m/s, λ = 0.297 m

Substitute into equation 1

E = 6.626×10⁻³⁴(3×10⁸)/0.297

E = 6.69×10⁻²⁵ J.

The energy of the photon in one seconds = 6.69×10⁻²⁵ J/s

If the power of the microwave oven  = 600 J/s

Then,

Number of photons emitted per seconds = 600/(6.69×10⁻²⁵)

Number of photons emitted per seconds = 8.969×10²⁶ photons

18. Describe the relationship between kinetic energy and mass, and give an example of
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of an object and also directly proportional to the square of the velocity of that object:

E_k = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

Notice that if we keep velocity constant and only increase the mass of a object, the kinetic energy of that object would increase, as we've already emphasized the direct relationship between the kinetic energy term and the mass term.

Let's take a simple example: assume that object 1 and object 2 are both moving at the same velocity but object 1 has a much lower mass than object 2. According to the equation, object 1 has lower kinetic energy. This object can then transform all of its kinetic energy into some other form, say, heat the ground. The heat transferred will be significantly lower than by the object 2 moving at the same velocity but having a much greater mass.
