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 weight suspended from a spring is seen to bob up and down over a distance of 20 cm triply each second. What is the period? Wha
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

1) Hence, the period is 0.33 s.

2) The amplitude is 10 cm.

Explanation:

1) The period is given by:

T = \frac{1}{f}

Where:

f: is the frequency = 3 bob up and down each second = 3 s⁻¹ = 3 Hz

T = \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{3 Hz} = 0.33 s

Hence, the period is 0.33 s.

2) The amplitude is the distance between the equilibrium position and the maximum position traveled by the spring. Since the spring is moving up and down over a distance of 20 cm, then the amplitude is:          

A = \frac{20 cm}{2} = 10 cm  

Therefore, the amplitude is 10 cm.          

I hope it helps you!

What is the Gravitational Potential Energy of a 30 kg box lifted 1.5 meters off the ground?
juin [17]

Answer:

<h2>441 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 30 × 9.8 × 1.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>441 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
