Answer:

fluorescent bulb

Explanation:

A fluorescent bulb is what produces light.

It produces light by passing electric current through a gas to

A fluorescent lamp, is a low-pressure mercury vapor and a gas-discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light. like the ones we see. An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor, and that produces a short wave ultraviolet light and well that causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp to glow. i tried making this sound as simple as possible.

i hope this really helps you !! thanks this and mark this as brainliest !!!

What is the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 hz?

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

T = 0.003 s

(Period is written as T)

Explanation:

Period = time it takes for one wave to pass (measured in seconds)

frequency = number of cycles that occur in 1 second

(measured in Hz / hertz / 1 second)

Period : T

frequency : f

So, if we know that the frequency of a wave is 300 Hz, we can find the period of the wave from the relation between frequency and period

T = $\frac{1}{f}$ f = $\frac{1}{T}$

to find the period (T) of this wave, we need to plug in the frequency (f) of 300

T = $\frac{1}{300}$

T = 0.00333333333

So, the period of a wave that has a frequency of 300 Hz is 0.003 s

[the period/T of this wave is 0.003 s]

A ship leaves the island of Guam and sails a distance 255 km at an angle 49.0 o north of west. Part A: In which direction must i

kiruha [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall represent displacement in vector form .Consider east as x axes and north as Y axes west as - ve x axes and south as - ve Y axes . 255 km can be represented by the following vector

D₁ = - 255 cos 49 i + 255 sin49 j

= - 167.29 i + 192.45 j

Let D₂ be the further displacement which lands him 125 km east . So the resultant displacement is

D = 125 i

D₁ + D₂ = D

- 167.29 i + 192.45 j + D₂ = 125 i

D₂ = 125 i + 167.29 i - 192.45 j

= 292.29 i - 192.45 j

Angle of D₂ with x axes θ

tan θ = -192.45 / 292.29

= - 0.658

θ = 33.33 south of east

Magnitude of D₂

D₂² = ( 192.45)² + ( 292.29)²

D₂ = 350 km approx

A power company charges its customers for electricity based upon which one of the following?a. powerb. energyc. power per unit o

Vlad [161]

B. Energy

A power company charges its customers for electricity based upon B. Energy.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Kilo-watt Hours (kWh) is the unit that measures the electricity consumption of customers. Since Power is defined as the rate at which electrical energy is transferred by an electrical circuit per unit time,

$P = \frac{E}{t} \\E= P\times t$

If energy is transmitted at a constant rate over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is the product of power in kilowatts(kW) and time in hours (h)

$1\ kWh = 3.6\times 10^6\ Joules$
