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.

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

A hypothetical planet has a mass 2.81 times that of Earth, but the same radius.
patriot [66]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet</h3>

g = GM/R²

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of the planet
  • R is radius of the planet
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = ?

g = (6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.81 x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / (6371 x 10³)²

g = 27.38 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

A rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King’s argument?
ankoles [38]

Is this your Question:

Read the hypothetical situation below and answer the question that follows.

In response to criticisms that the King of Mordor has failed to gain the consent of his people, the King claims that he does in fact represent the consent of the people because without their King, society would crumble into chaos.

Which statement BEST represents a rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King's argument?

A. Absolute chaos is preferable to the absolute power of the King.

B. The King of Mordor should establish a system of checks and balances.

C. If the King of Mordor were to represent the will of his people, then he would at least provide the public services demanded by his people.

D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

If this is your question.. Here is your Answer:

Answer:  D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

Explanation:

Rousseau believed that sovereignty (the power to make laws) belonged to the people, not one person, and that it should be carried out by a representative body of the people who are elected by them on their behalf. While he agreed society requires a ruler(s), he thinks they should be chosen by the people.
