η = 13.8 lm/W. The luminous efficacy of a incandescent lightbulb that produces 830 lumens and consumed a power of 60 W is 13.8 lm/W.

The luminous efficacy of a light source is the relationship between the luminous flux (in lumens) emitted by a light source and the power (in watts). The luminous efficacy of a light source or luminous efficiency measures the part of electrical energy that is used to illuminate and is obtained by dividing the luminous flux emitted by the electrical power consumed. Luminous efficiency is expressed in lumens per watt (lm / W). It is given by the relation:

η = F / P.  Where F is the luminous flux, and P is the power consumed by the light source.

The efficacy of a 60.0 W incandescent lightbulb that produces 830 lm is:

η = 830 lm / 60 W

η = 13.8 lm/W

What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?
solniwko [45]
What is a travelling wave and a standing wave? What are the differences between both of them?

Answer: First of all we have to understand that a traveling wave is an organized disturbance traveling with a well defined wave speed. On the other hand standing waves are the combination of period waves with their reflected waves creating double sided waves. The differences between them is that standing waves have nodes and antinodes while a traveling wave does not.

I hope it helps, Regards.

A packet is dropped from a stationary helicopter, hovering at a height 'h' from the ground level, reaches the ground in 12s. Cal
Ksju [112]
Use kinematic equations to solve:

1) yf = yo + vo*t + 1/2at²

yf = final height
yo = initial height
vo = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time

yf - yo = vo*t + 1/2at²

yf - yo = h

vo = 0

Thus,

h = 1/2at²

h = 1/2(9.8)(12)² = 705.6 m

2) vf = vo + at

vo = 0

Thus,

vf = at

vf = (9.8)(12) = 117.6 m/s

Light from two lasers is incident on an opaque barrier with a single slit of width 4.0 x 10^-4 m. One laser emits light of wavel
Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm

b) y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm

Explanation:

The formula of Young's Double Slit experiment will be used here:

y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\

where,

y = distance between dark spots = ?

λ = wavelength

L = distance of screen = 2 m

d = slit width = 4 x 10⁻⁴ m

a) FOR λ = 480 nm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁷ m:

y = \frac{(4.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm</u>

<u></u>

a) FOR λ = 640 nm = 6.4 x 10⁻⁷ m:

y = \frac{(6.4\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm</u>
