Chemistry

3 0

Answer:

An LED light uses one-third the energy of an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

A typical 100 W incandescent bulb produces about <em>5 % visible light</em>, 83 % IR radiation, and 12 % heat (it is the IR radiation that makes the bulb feel hot).

It produces about 5 J of light energy for every 100 J of energy input.

A typical LED bulb produces about <em>15 % visible light</em> and 85 % heat (LEDs feel cool, because they don't produce IR radiation).

It produces about 15 J of light energy for every 100 J of energy input.

Thus, an LED light is about three times as efficient at converting electrical energy into light

What element has 47 protons in its nucleus?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

b). silver (Ag)

Explanation:

If you look at the periodic table, you just need to look at the atomic number of the element, because the atomic number tells you how many protons there are in the nucleus of the element.

But do be careful because some periodic tables have the molar mass at the top left corner, but the one I use has the atomic number at the top left corner, so make sure you look for the atomic number and not the molar mass.
