Which of the following is true about light?

1 answer:

7 0

Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".

It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.

If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.

And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.

A copper cable needs to carry a current of 160 A with a power loss of only 2.0 W/m. What is the required radius of the copper ca

lesantik [10]

Answer:

The radius of the cable is 0.0083 m or 8.3 mm.

Explanation:

The resistance of copper cable of 1 meter length will be given by

$R_{cable} = \frac{\rho \times l}{a}$ .... (i)

where the resistivity of copper is $\rho = 1.7 \times 10^{-8} \Omega.m$ , and l is the length of the wire which is considered to be 1m, and a is the cross sectional area of the wire in $m^{2}$ .

From the formula of power we know that, $P = I^2 R$ .... (ii)

Therefore 2 W/m = $(160)^2 \times R$ .... (iii)

where the resistance,R, actually means the resistance of the cable per meter.

Therefore R ( resistance of cable per meter)

= $\frac{2}{160^2} = 7.812 \times 10^{-5}$ ohms / meter. .... (iv)

Therefore from (i)

$7.812 \times 10^{-5}$ = $\frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1}{a} = \frac{1.7 \times 10^{-8} \times 1}{\pi r^{2} }$ ..... (v)

where cross sectional area of the cable, a = $\pi r^2$ ,

where r is the radius of the cable, and length of cable,l = 1m.

Therefore r = $\sqrt{\frac{ 1.7 \times 10^{-8}}{\pi \times 7.812 \times 10^{-5} } } = 0.0083m = 8.3 mm$

Answer:

f = 7.9487 10¹³ Hz

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was correctly explained by Einstein assuming that the radiation is composed of photons, which behave like particles.

hf = K + Ф

It indicates the frequency and the kinetic energy, let's look for the work function

Ф = hf - K

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

K = 0.332 eV (1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J / 1 eV) = 0.5312 10⁻⁻¹⁹ J

let's calculate

Ф = 6.63 10⁻⁻³⁴ 6.64 10¹¹ - 0.5312 10⁻¹⁹

Ф = 4.40 10⁻²² - 0.5312 10⁻¹⁹

Ф = 5.27 10⁻²⁰ J

for the minimum frequency that produces photoelectrons, the kinetic energy is zero

hf = Ф

f = Ф / h

f = 5.27 10⁻²⁰ / 6.63 10⁻³⁴

f = 7.9487 10¹³ Hz

When you look at green dots with a red filter what color did you see?

Dimas [21]

-- Looking at the dots casually, they look green because they absorb all other
colors of light, and only green light is left to proceed to your eyes. (In order for
this to work, there has to be some green in the light shining on the dots.
Daylight and most light bulbs work fine.)

-- The filter looks red because it absorbs all other colors of light, and only
the red light is left to pass through the filter and come out on the other side.

-- When the green light from the dots hits the red filter, it's absorbed in the
filter, and there's no light left to come out on the other side.

If you're looking through the filter at the dots, they look <em>black</em>.
