Factors that affect the light intensity received from a source

1 answer:

6 0

Light intensity and distance is interrelated. When the distance changes, the intensity of light changes. This relationship is called inverse-square relationship. The inverse-square relationship refers to the fact that when distance changes, light intensity also changes: inverse because when distance decreases, light density increases and when distance increases, the latter decreases; square refers to the fact that light intensity and distance is not a one-to-one relationship.

A huge tank of glycerine with a density of 1.260 g/cm3 is vertically stationed on a platform which is 15 m above the ground. The

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The tank is losing $4.976*10^{-4} m^3/s$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

Explanation:

According to the Bernoulli’s equation:

$P_1 + 1 \frac{1}{2} \rho v_1^2 + \rho gh_1 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho v_2^2 + \rho gh_2$

We are being informed that both the tank and the hole is being exposed to air :

∴ P₁ = P₂

Also as the tank is voluminous ; we take the initial volume $v_1$ ≅ 0 ;

then $v_2$ can be determined as: $\sqrt{[2g (h_1- h_2)]$

h₁ = 5 + 15 = 20 m;

h₂ = 15 m

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(20 - 15)]$

$v_2 = \sqrt{[2*9.81*(5)]$

$v_2= 9.9 \ m/s$ as it leaves the hole at the base.

radius r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2.0 mm

(a) From the law of continuity; its equation can be expressed as:

J = $A_1v_2$

J = πr² $v_2$

J = $\pi *(2*10^{-3})^{2}*9.9$

J = $1.244*10^{-4} m^3/s$

How fast is the water from the hole moving just as it reaches the ground?

In order to determine that; we use the relation of the velocity from the equation of motion which says:

v² = u² + 2gh ₂

v² = 9.9² + 2×9.81×15

v² = 392.31

The velocity of how fast the water from the hole is moving just as it reaches the ground is : $v_g = \sqrt{392.31}$

$v_g = 19.81 \ m/s$

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or $87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b). 1.78 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

$d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}$

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

$I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\ I=87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b).

$I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A$

$A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2} \\A=5.309x10^{-6}$

$V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}$

A cello string 0.75 m long has a 220 hz fundamental frequency. find the wave speed along the vibrating string. answer in units o

maxonik [38]

For fundamental frequency of a string to occur, the length of the string has to be half the wavelength. That is,

1/2y = L, where L = length of the string, y = wavelength.

Therefore,
y = 2L = 2*0.75 =1.5 m

Additionally,
y = v/f Where v = wave speed, and f = ferquncy

Then,
v = y*f = 1.5*220 = 330 m/s
