Answer:
Explanation:
Power is related to energy by the following relationship:
where
P is the power used
E is the energy used
t is the time elapsed
In this problem, we know that
- the power of the fan is P = 120 W
- the fan has been running for one hour, which corresponds to a time of
So we can re-arrange the previous equation to find E, the energy (in the form of thermal energy) released by the fan:
To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution. By definition is defined as:
Where,
= Wavelength
d = Width of the slit
= Angular resolution
Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.
The radius of the beam on the moon is
Relacing
Replacing with our values we have that,
Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is
Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m
