What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody? According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an objec

jasenka [17]

Answer:

a) What are the characteristics of the radiation emitted by a blackbody?

The total emitted energy per unit of time and per unit of area depends in its temperature (Stefan-Boltzmann law).

The peak of emission for the spectrum will be displaced to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (Wien’s displacement law).

The spectral density energy is related with the temperature and the wavelength (Planck’s law).

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wave length of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

Explanation:

A blackbody is an ideal body that absorbs all the thermal radiation that hits its surface, thus becoming an excellent emitter, as these bodies express themselves without light radiation, and therefore they look black.

The radiation of a blackbody depends only on its temperature, thus being independent of its shape, material and internal constitution.

If it is study the behavior of the total energy emitted from a blackbody at different temperatures, it can be seen how as the temperature increases the energy will also increase, this energy emitted by the blackbody is known as spectral radiance and the result of the behavior described previously is Stefan's law:

$E = \sigma T^{4}$ (1)

Where $\sigma$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant and T is the temperature.

The Wien’s displacement law establish how the peak of emission of the spectrum will be displace to shorter wavelengths as the temperature increase (inversely proportional):

$\lambda max = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{T}$ (2)

Planck’s law relate the temperature with the spectral energy density (shape) of the spectrum:

$E_{\lambda} = {{8 \pi h c}\over{{\lambda}^5}{(e^{({hc}/{\lambda \kappa T})}-1)}}}$ (3)

b) According to Wien's Law, how many times hotter is an object whose blackbody emission spectrum peaks in the blue, at a wavelength of 450 nm, than a object whose spectrum peaks in the red, at 700 nm?

It is need it to known the temperature of both objects before doing the comparison. That can be done by means of the Wien’s displacement law.

Equation (2) can be rewrite in terms of T:

$T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{\lambda max}$ (4)

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue:

Before replacing all the values in equation (4), $\lambda max$ (450 nm) will be express in meters:

$450 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}$ ⇒ $4.5x10^{-7}m$

$T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{4.5x10^{-7}m}$

$T = 6440 K$

Case for the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red:

Following the same approach above:

$700 nm . \frac{1m}{1x10^{9} nm}$ ⇒ $7x10^{-7}m$

$T = \frac{2.898x10^{-3} m. K}{7x10^{-7}m}$

$T = 4140 K$

Comparison:

$\frac{6440 K}{4140 K} = 1.55$

The object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the blue is 1.55 times hotter than the object with the blackbody emission spectrum peak in the red.

A 2.00 kg block on a horizontal floor is attached to a horizontal spring that is initially compressed 0.0300 m . The spring has

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

v = 0.41 m/s

Explanation:

In this case, the change in the mechanical energy, is equal to the work done by the fricition force on the block.
At any point, the total mechanical energy is the sum of the kinetic energy plus the elastic potential energy.
So, we can write the following general equation, taking the initial and final values of the energies:

$\Delta K + \Delta U = W_{ffr} (1)$

Since the block and spring start at rest, the change in the kinetic energy is just the final kinetic energy value, Kf.
⇒ Kf = 1/2*m*vf² (2)
The change in the potential energy, can be written as follows:

$\Delta U = U_{f} - U_{o} = \frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (3)$

where k = force constant = 815 N/m

xf = final displacement of the block = 0.01 m (taking as x=0 the position

for the spring at equilibrium)

x₀ = initial displacement of the block = 0.03 m

Regarding the work done by the force of friction, it can be written as follows:

$W_{ffr} = - \mu_{k}* F_{n} * \Delta x (4)$

where μk = coefficient of kinettic friction, Fn = normal force, and Δx =

horizontal displacement.

Since the surface is horizontal, and no acceleration is present in the vertical direction, the normal force must be equal and opposite to the force due to gravity, Fg:
Fn = Fg= m*g (5)
Replacing (5) in (4), and (3) and (4) in (1), and rearranging, we get:

$\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = W_{ffr} - \Delta U = W_{ffr} - (U_{f} -U_{o}) (6)$

$\frac{1}{2} * m* v^{2} = (- \mu_{k}* m*g* \Delta x) -\frac{1}{2} * k * (x_{f} ^{2} - x_{0} ^{2} ) (7)$

Replacing by the values of m, k, g, xf and x₀, in (7) and solving for v, we finally get:

$\frac{1}{2} * 2.00 kg* v^{2} = (-0.4*2.00 kg*9.8m/s2*0.02m) +( (\frac{1}{2} *815 N/m)* (0.03m)^{2} - (0.01m)^{2}) = -0.1568 J + 0.326 J (8)$

$v =\sqrt{(0.326-0.1568} = 0.41 m/s (9)$

The total kinetic energy of two cars is measured before and after they crash into each other. The total kinetic energy of the tw

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.

Hence, option B is correct

If a moving car speeds up until it is going twice as fast, how much kinetic energy doe s it have compared with its initial kinet

dezoksy [38]

The kinetic energy of an object of mass m and velocity v is given by
$K= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Let's call $v_i$ the initial speed of the car, so that its initial kinetic energy is
$K_i = \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2$
where m is the mass of the car.

The problem says that the car speeds up until its velocity is twice the original one, so
$v_f = 2 v_i$
and by using the new velocity we can calculate the final kinetic energy of the car
$K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv_f^2 = \frac{1}{2}m (2 v_i)^2 = 4 ( \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2)=4 K_i$
so, if the velocity of the car is doubled, the new kinetic energy is 4 times the initial kinetic energy.

What is the tangent function used to find and what are its units

Verizon [17]

The functions of angles are used to find unknown lengths or angles that can't be measured, in terms of known quantities. The trig functions of angles are ratios of lengths, so they're bare naked numbers without units.
