Microwave ovens emit microwave energy with a wavelength of 12.2 cm. What is the energy of exactly one photon of this microwave r

adiation?
Physics
1 answer:
Iteru [2.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength of the photon

In this problem, we have a microwave photon with wavelength

\lambda=12.2 cm=0.122 m

Substituting into the equation, we find its energy:

E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{0.122 m}=1.63\cdot 10^{-24} J

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903

2. A solution that contains a small amount of salt and a large amount of water is said to be a _______ solution.
koban [17]
2. A dilute solution means that the amount of solvent (water, for this particular case) is significantly larger than the solute (salt). Thus, the answer is D. 6. John Dalton's atomic theory states that matter is made up of tiny indestructible objects called matter. The theory also indicates that although same elements have the same atoms, each element have unique set atoms that deinfe them. From this, we can conclude that the wrong assumption is C. 9. Atoms, by default, are electrically neutral. When an atom loses or gains electron/s, then they become ionized atoms or commonly called as ions. Thus, ionized atoms imply unequal number of protons and electrons. This means the answer must be A. 11. Analgesics are commonly used to relieve pain. Thus, the answer is C. 14. Adding up the atomic mass of the individual atoms will give you the molar mass of a compound. Therefore, the answer is B.: 15. The pH scale provides us the alkalinity or acidity of a solution based on the value. A value between 0 to 6 indicates that the solution is acidic. 7 is considered neutral and a value between 7 and 14 indicates that the solution is basic. Thus, the answer is D. 19. An element has consistent properties and can no longer be further identified into having individual properties. Thus, the answer is A. 20. The valence of an element dependeds on the number of electrons on the outermost shell. Thus, it is equal to the number of charge negative or positive charges on the ion. Hence, we have A<span>. :</span>
