Answer:

The current density is  J = 2.04 * 10^{6}  A /m^2

The drift velocity is  v_d = 1.5 * 10^{-4} m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The nominal diameter of the wire is d = 1.02 mm= \frac{1.02}{1000}  = 0.00102 \ m

   The current carried by the wire is I = 1.67 A

    The power rating of the lamp is P = 200 W

    The density of electron is n =  8.5 * 10^{28} \ e/m^3

   

The current density is mathematically represented as

       J = \frac{I}{A}

Where A is the area which is mathematically evaluated as

          A = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}

Substituting values

         A = 3.142 * \frac{(1.02  *  10^{-3})^2 }{4}

       A = 8.0*10^{-4}m^2

So

         J = \frac{1.67}{8.0*10^{-4}}

       J = 2.04 * 10^{6}  A /m^2

The drift velocity is mathematically represented as

       v_d  = \frac{J}{ne}

Where e is the charge on one electron which has a value  e = 1.602 *10^{-19} C

So

         v_d =\frac{2.04 * 10^6 }{8.5 *10^{28} * 1.6 * 10^{-19}}

        v_d = 1.5 * 10^{-4} m/s

krek1111 [17]

Answer:Visible light is a small part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The spectrum covers everything from gamma rays, x-rays, visible light, infrared, microwave and radio waves. Each part of the spectrum, including the different colors of visible light, have different wavelengths (the space between each wave).

A LED light source contains a 0.5-Watts GaAs (Eg =1.43 eV) LED. Assuming that 0.12% of the electric energy is converted to emiss
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

energy emitted by  source per second  = .5 J

Eg = 1.43 eV .

Energy converted into radiation = .5 x .12 = .06 J

energy of one photon = 1.43 eV

= 1.43 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

= 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹ J .

no of photons generated = .06 / 2.288 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

wavelength of photon λ = 1275 / 1.43 nm

= 891.6 nm .

momentum of photon = h / λ  ;  h is plank's constant

= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ / 891.6 x 10⁻⁹

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵ J.s

Total momentum of all the photons generated

= .0074 x 10⁻²⁵  x 2.6223 x 10¹⁷

= .0194 x 10⁻⁸ Js

b ) spectral width in terms of wavelength = 30 nm

frequency width = ?

n = c / λ  , n is frequency , c is velocity of light and λ is wavelength

differentiating both sides

dn = c x dλ / λ²

given dλ = 30 nm

λ = 891.6 nm

dn = 3 x 10⁸ x 30 x 10⁻⁹ / ( 891.6  x 10⁻⁹ )²

= 11.3 x 10¹² Hz .

c )

10 nW = 10  x 10⁻⁹ W

= 10⁻⁸ W .

energy of 50 dB

50 dB = 5 B

I / I₀ = 10⁵   ;   decibel scale is logarithmic , I is energy of sound having dB = 50 and  I₀ = 10⁻¹² W /s

I = I₀ x 10⁵

= 10⁻¹² x 10⁵

= 10⁻⁷ W

= 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

power required

= 10⁻⁸ + 10 x 10⁻⁸ W

= 11  x 10⁻⁸ W.

Dear Amrish

I have come to know that since your school has closed for the Autumn Break you have plenty of free time at your disposal at the moment. I would like to tell you that even I am having holidays now.

It has been a long time since we have spent some time together. If you are free, I would welcome to have your company this weekend. Why don’t you come over to my house and spend a day or so with me?

I am anxiously waiting for your reply.

Yours affectionately

your name
