A law has always been observed to be true

Law is something that's observed to be true, such as gravity. We don't know what it really is, but we know it's there.

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with visible light of wavelength 486 nm?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

$2.46\cdot 10^5 J$

Explanation:

The energy of a single photon is given by:

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

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the photon in this problem,

$\lambda=486 nm=4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m$

So, its energy is

$E_1=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{4.86\cdot 10^{-7}m}=4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J$

One mole of photons contains a number of photons equal to Avogadro number:

$N_A = 6.022\cdot 10^{23}$

So, the total energy of one mole of photons is

$E=N_A E_1 = (6.022\cdot 10^{23})(4.09\cdot 10^{-19} J)=2.46\cdot 10^5 J$

What is the intensity of a sound with a measured intensity level of 84 db? (i0 = 10-12 w/m2)?

Ivahew [28]

The unit measurement for sound can be expressed in terms of intensity and in decibels. The intensity of sound is the measure of its power over unit area. The common unit of measurement is in decibels. This is commonly used in measuring the extent of noise. The conversion from intensity to the decibel unit is through logarithmic function. The formula is:

dB = 10 log(I/I0), where I0 is 10^-12 Watts per square meter

Substituting the values to the equation,

84 = 10log(I/10^-12)
I = 0.0002512 W/m2

In scientific notation the intensity is 2.512 x 10^-4 W/m^2.

What is one result of meiosis?

kogti [31]

Answer:

meiosis is a kind of cell division which occurs in special cells like gametes in which the daughter cells have half the numbers of chromosomes than the parent cells .

hence we can say that by this cell division 2 haploid cells are formed.

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The wires are connected end to end so that the re

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$K_{system} = \frac{k}{10}$

Explanation:

When the springs are connected end to end, it means they are connected in series. When the springs are connected in series, the stress applied to the system gets applied to each of the springs without any change in magnitude while the strain of the system is the sum total of strains of each spring. The spring constant of the resultant system is given as,

$\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{K_{1}})+(\frac{1}{K_{2}})+(\frac{1}{K_{3}})+ (\frac{1}{K_{4}})+.....+(\frac{1}{K_{n}})$

Here, n = 10

Spring constant of each spring = k

Thus,

$\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{K_{1}})+(\frac{1}{K_{2}})+(\frac{1}{K_{3}})+ (\frac{1}{K_{4}})+.....+(\frac{1}{K_{10}})$

$\frac{1}{K_{system}} = (\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})+(\frac{1}{k})$

$\frac{1}{K_{system}} = \frac{10}{k}$

$K_{system} = \frac{k}{10}$
