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 harmonic oscillator starts with an amplitude of 20.0 cm. After 10.0 s, the amplitude decreases to 15.0 cm. If the linear dampi
tia_tia [17]

Answer: the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

amplitude A = 20.0 cm

time t = 10 s

amplitude decreases x = 15.0 cm

damping coefficient b = 2.00 N.s/m

amount of mass is oscillating = ?

we know that; amplitude can be expressed as;

x = Ae^-(∝t)

we substitute

15 = 20e^-∝(10)

∝ = 0.02877 s⁻¹

Hence mass m will be;

m = b/2∝

we substitute

m = (2 N.s/m) / ( 2 × 0.02877 s⁻¹)

m = 34.8 kg

Therefore the amount of mass is oscillating is 34.8 kg

PLEASE HELP !!!   100
Vlad [161]

A line that's 'normal' to the surface is perpendicular to the surface.

The angle of incidence is the angle between the normal and the light ray ARRIVING at the surface.

The angle of reflection is the angle between the normal and the light ray LEAVING the surface after it's reflected.

The law of reflection says these two angles are equal.
