A watt is a unit of energy per unit time, and one watt (W) is equal to one joule per second ( J ⋅ s − 1 ) J⋅s−1) . A 40.0 W 40.0

W incandescent lightbulb produces about 5.00 % 5.00% of its energy as visible light. Assuming that the light has an average wavelength of 510.0 nm, calculate how many such photons are emitted per second by a 40.0 W 40.0 W incandescent lightbulb.

Answer:

5.12 x 10^18 photon per second

Explanation:

Power of bulb, P = 40 W

%5 of this energy is visible, so the visible energy = E = 5% of 40 = 2 J/s

Wavelength of light, λ = 510 nm = 510 x 10^-9 m

let the number of photons per second is n.

Energy of each photon,

E' = hc / λ

E' = \frac{6.63 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}{510\times 10^{-9}}

E' = 3.9 x 10^-19 J

number of photons per second, n = E / E'

n=\frac{2}{3.9\times 10^{-19}}

n = 5.12 x 10^18 per second

So, the number of photons per second are 5.12 x 10^18.

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields produced by current-carrying wires?
Anit [1.1K]
<span>The larger the current flowing in a wire, the stronger the magnetic field
is that surrounds the wire. 

That's why, if you want to make an electromagnet stronger, one way to
do it is to add another battery.  By increasing the voltage, you'll increase
the current flowing in the coils of wire, and the electromagnet will be stronger.</span>

A hiker walked a hiking trail according to the chart below. What is a possible explanation of the hiker's movement?
AnnZ [28]
A.The hiker had an easy, level trail from 11:00-12:00 and was able to travel the fastest during that time period.---> may be because this was indeed fastest  stage


b.The hiker got tired and walked the slowest from 1:00-2:00.---> no, because this was not the slowest stage


c.The hiker stopped for lunch from 11:00-12:00 and that slowed him down.---> no because this was the fastest stage


d.The hiker ended up in the same place that he started.---> no, because the hiker walked more toward east than toward west and more toward south than toward north.
