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

igomit [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is "20 Volts".

Explanation:

Given:

Heat,

H = 100 J

Resistance,

R = 4 Ω

As we know,

⇒ $P=\frac{v^2}{R}$

By putting the values, we get

⇒ $100=\frac{v^2}{4}$

⇒ $v^2=100\times 4$

⇒ $=400$

⇒ $v=\sqrt{400}$

⇒ $=20 \ volts$

Wildlife biologists are attempting to monitor the population size of the insect pest known as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar)

Elden [556K]

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value. The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.
