Assuming that 10.0% of a 100 W light bulb's energy output is in the visible range (typical for incandescent bulbs) with an avera

ge wavelength of 580 nm, and that the photons spread out uniformly and are not absorbed by the atmosphere, how far away (in km) would you be if 468 photons per second enter the 3.30 mm diameter pupil of your eye

Answer:

Explanation:

10% of 100 W = 10 W .

energy of each photon = hν , h is plank's constant and ν is frequency

= hc / λ , c is velocity of light , λ is wavelength

wavelength given λ  = 580 x 10⁻⁹ m .

energy of each photon = 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 580 x 10⁻⁹

= .034137 x ⁻¹⁷ J

no of photons in 10 W

= 10 /  .034137 x ⁻¹⁷

= 292.9 x 10¹⁷

If d be the required distance

no of photons per unit area per second  at distance d

= 292.9 x 10¹⁷ / 4πd²

no of photons through the area of eye

= π x (1.65 x 10⁻³)² x 292.9 x 10¹⁷ / 4πd²

= 199.355 x 10¹¹ / d²

199.355 x 10¹¹ / d² = 468 ( given )

d² = 199.355 x 10¹¹ / 468

= .42597 x 10¹¹

= 42597 x 10⁶

d = 206.4 x 10³ m

= 206.3 km.

A particle moves along the x axis from the origin. The magnitude of the position vector at time t is
Maurinko [17]

1) The average velocity is -2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2) The instantaneous velocity is 64t-260t^3

Explanation:

1)

The average velocity of an object is given by

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, the position of the particle is given by the function

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

where t is the time.

The position of the particle at time t = 6 sec is

x(6) = 32(6)^2 - 65(6)^4=-83,088 m

While the position at time t = 12 sec is

x(12)=32(12)^2-65(12)^4=-1,343,232 m

So, the displacement is

d=x(12)-x(6)=-1,343,232-(-83,088)=-1,260,144 m

And therefore the average velocity is

v=\frac{-1,260,144 m}{12 s- 6 s}=-2.1\cdot 10^5 m/s

2)

The instantaneous velocity of a particle is given by the derivative of the position vector.

The position vector is

x(t) = 32t^2 - 65t^4

By differentiating with respect to t, we find the velocity vector:

v(t) = x'(t) = 2\cdot 32 t - 4\cdot 65 t^3 = 64t - 260 t^3

Therefore, the instantaaneous velocity at any time t can be found by substituting the value of t in this expression.

What happens when a sound wave passes from oil into air? A. the sound wave slows down and bounces back B. the sound wave slows d
Jlenok [28]

Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

  • It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.

I need help in this small question:
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

1) The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity is called nuclear energy.

2) It is not renewable because it is an element that has no way whatsoever to regenerate or replicate itself, nor gets created by any natural terrestrial means, neither makes itself available by arriving from outer space (like sunlight). There is a limited amount of it available on the Earth, and every bit you use is a bit you’ll never have available again (as Uranium atoms get destroyed by the fission process).

Hope this helps You

Thank You
