What is actually creating the light in the light bulb?

Physics

The light in the light bulb is simply the resultant of photon emission through a thin filament often made of tungsten.

<u>Explanation :</u>

Explaining the structure, a light bulb is simply composed of a metal base with two metal contacts. These contacts are attached to the current conducting wires that are attached to a thin filament often made of Tungsten.  

The whole system is enclosed within a light bulb filled with an inert gas Argon. On connecting the light bulb to the electric supply, the current flows through the wires and heats up the filament that emits photons, containing visible light energy. This is how we get a lighted bulb.

The invention of a light bulb has always been one of the biggest inventions in the world of science and technology that has lightened up not only the world but the lives. All credit goes to Sir Thomas Alva Edison and Sir Joseph Swan.

1. A note has a wavelength of 0.77955 m. If the speed of sound is 343.00 m/s, what pitch is this note? 2. A note has a wavelengt
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

1.) 440 Hz

2.) 659.3 Hz

Explanation:

1.) Given parameters are:

wavelength = 0.77955 m.

speed of sound = 343.00 m/s

Frequency = speed/ wavelength

Substitute speed and wavelength into the formula

Frequency = 343/ 0.77955

Frequency = 439.99

Frequency = 440 Hz approximately

2.) The parameters given are:

wavelength = 0.52028 m.

speed of sound = 343.00 m/s

Using the same formula

Frequency = speed/wavelength

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

Frequency = 343 / 0.52028

Frequency = 659.3 Hz approximately

The pitch of a note depends on the frequency of the sound waves.

The pitch of a sound increases as the frequency of the sound waves increases.

Why are chemical processes unable to produce the same amount of energy flowing out of the sun as nuclear fusion?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the major differences between nuclear reactions and chemical reactions is that nuclear reactions involve larger amount of energy than chemical energy. <u>This is because the force between the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom is much higher than the force of attraction between electrons and the positively charged nucleus, hence nuclear reactions involves/requires a larger amount of energy (because it's reactions involve the nucleus) than chemical reactions (because it's reactions involve the electrons)</u>.

Thus, during nuclear fusion, two light nuclei are bombarded against one another to produce a larger/heavier nuclei with the release of large amount of energy (because the forces between the protons and neutrons are much higher) unlike when two atoms/molecules are chemically combined together to form a new molecule with the rearrangement of electrons in the valence shells of the participating molecules.

If the period of a spring is 5 seconds what is the frequency
Scilla [17]

Answer:

C. 0.2 Hertz

Explanation:

The frequency of a spring is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For the spring in this problem,

T = 5 s

therefore, the frequency is

f=\frac{1}{5 s}=0.2 Hz
