Aneli [31]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

B.electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is used to  describe all of the wavelengths of light waves.Generally wavelength of the wave is denoted by λ.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crest .Wavelength of the red color is minimum and wavelength of the violet color is maximum in the light  spectrum.

So the answer is B.

Electromagnetic spectrum

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.7 V when operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated a
wariber [46]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.46Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;

E = V + Ir                      --------------------(a)

Where;

I = current flowing through the circuit

But;

V = I x Rₓ                    ---------------------(b)

Where;

Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.

<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>

The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.

Let;

R₁ = resistance in the first bulb

R₂ = resistance in the second bulb

Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;

P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

=> R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}             -------------------(ii)

Where;

P = Power of the bulb

V = voltage across the bulb

R = resistance of the bulb

To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₁ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

R₁ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₁ = \frac{144}{4}

R₁ = 36Ω

Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₂ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iv)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

R₂ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₂ = \frac{144}{4}

R₂ = 36Ω

Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;

\frac{1}{R_{X} } = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}       -----------------(v)

Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{36}

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{2}{36}

Rₓ = \frac{36}{2}

Rₓ = 18Ω

The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω

<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>

Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;

11.7 = I x 18

I = \frac{11.7}{18}

I = 0.65A

<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>

Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A  into equation (a) as follows;

12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r

0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7

0.65r = 0.3

r = \frac{0.3}{0.65}

r = 0.46Ω

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω
