Make a rough estimate of the number of quanta emitted in one second by a 100 W light bulb. Assume that the typical wavelength em

itted is λ = 1000 nm. (Note: this wavelength is in the infrared; incandescent bulbs are inefficient since they emit mostly in the infrared and only little bit in the visible range.)

Answer:

#_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Explanation:

For this exercise let's calculate the energy of a single quantum of energy, use Planck's law

         E = h f

         c= λ f

         E = h c / λ

          λ= 1000 nm (1 m / 109 nm) = 1000 10⁻⁹ m

Let's calculate

          E₀ = 6.6310⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸/1000 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 19.89 10⁻²⁰ J

This is the energy emitted by a photon let's use a proportions rule to find the number emitted in P = 100 w

                #_photon = P / E₀

               #_photon = 100 / 19.89 10⁻²⁰

              #_photon = 5 10²⁰ photons / s

Answer:

6.46393559312 m/s²

Explanation:

Time taken to cover 56 m

t=\dfrac{56}{29}\ s

Distance covered in 0.42 seconds

0.42\times 20=8.4\ m

From equation of linear motion

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

8.4+20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)+\dfrac{1}{2}a(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2=46\\\Rightarrow a=(46-8.4-20(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42))\times\dfrac{2}{(\dfrac{56}{29}-0.42)^2}\\\Rightarrow a=6.46393559312\ m/s^2

The minimum acceleration is 6.46393559312 m/s²

Answer:

While a body is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to immediate surroundings.

A body is said to be in uniform motion if it covers equal distances in equal interval of time.

A body is said to be in non-uniform motion if it covers unequal distances in equal interval of time or vice-versa

An FM radio station broadcasts electromagnetic radiation at a frequency of 93.5 MHz. The wavelength of this radiation is _______
Alborosie

Answer:

3.21

Explanation:

The relation between frequency and wavelength is shown below as:

c=frequency\times Wavelength


c is the speed of light having value 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Given, Frequency = 93.5 MHz = 93.5\times 10^{6}\ Hz

Thus, Wavelength is:

Wavelength=\frac{c}{Frequency}

Wavelength=\frac{3\times 10^8}{93.5\times 10^{6}}\ m

Wavelength=3.21 \ m
