Assume that the wavelengths of photosynthetically active radiations (PAR) are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers in the

red spectrum rom 675 to 700 nm. 1. What is the mean of the wavelength distribution for this radiation? 2. What is the variance of the wavelength distribution for this radiation? 3. If instead, the wavelengths are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers from 75 to 100 nanometers, how do the mean and variance of the wavelength distribution compare to the original distribution? Briefly explain.

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1. What is the mean of the wavelength distribution for this radiation?

Mean = (a+b)/2

= (675 + 700)/2

= 1375/2

= 687.5

2. What is the variance of the wavelength distribution for this radiation?

Variance= {(b-a+1)^2 - 1}/12

= {(700 - 675 + 1)-1}^2/12

= (26^2)-1/12

= 676-1/12

= 675/12

= 56.25

3. If instead, the wavelengths are uniformly distributed at integer nanometers from 75 to 100 nanometers, how do the mean and variance of the wavelength distribution compare to the original distribution?

New Mean = (a+b)/2

= (75 + 200)/2

= 175/2

= 87.5

New Variance= {(b-a+1)^2 - 1}/12

= {(100 - 75 + 1)-1}^2/12

= (26^2)-1/12

= 676-1/12

= 675/12

= 56.25

From the solutions, while the mean differs, the variance (56.25) is thesame due to the fact that variance depends on interval length and the first and second question has same interval length.

The nuclear fuel distribution in a nuclear reactor is chosen so that when in operation the wall temperature of the reactor is a
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We Often solve the the integral neutron transport equation using the collision probability (CP) method which usually requires flat flux (FF) approach. In this research, it has been carried out in the cylindrical nuclear fuel cell with the spatial of mesh with quadratic flux approach. This simply means that the neutron flux at any region of the nuclear fuel cell is forced to follow the pattern of a quadratic function.

Furthermore The mechanism may be referred to as the process of non-flat flux (NFF) approach. The parameters that calculated in this study are the k-eff and the distribution of neutron flux. The result shows that all parameters are in accordance with the result of SRAC.

Find the velociity of a car which travels 35 m to the right over a period of 40 seconds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

the velocity of the car is 0.875 m/s

Explanation:

v = d \div t \\ v = 35m \div 40sec = 0.875 \: m \: per \: sec

therefore the V of car is 0.875 m

1. 1500j of work was done to move a box 20m. What force was applied to the box ?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1. 75N

2. 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)

Explanation:

1. Work = Force x Distance

we are given that Work = 1,500J and Distance = 20m

hence,

Work = Force x Distance

1,500 = Force x 20

Force = 1,500 ÷ 20 = 75N

2. Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height

we are given that mass = 165 kg and change in height = 42m

assuming that gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height

Potential Energy, PE = 165 x 9.81 x 42 = 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)
