Answer:

White dwarfs are likely to be much more common. The number of stars decreases with increasing mass, and only the most massive stars are likely to complete their lives as black holes. There are many more stars of the masses appropriate for evolution to a white dwarf.

Consider the medium of air as defined by the use of radio frequency. What made some of the early standards so slow compared to t

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Earliest standards were dependent on a single frequency/channel to both send and receive. This shared medium creates the same problem as half-duplex coax cable. Because receivers had to wait for the signal before sending a response, this reduced the overall bandwidth.

Other factors affect wireless signal propagation, too, including RF interference, antenna choice, and obstacles such as walls, trees, and even weather (precipitation, for example).

Calculate the energy of the green light emitted, per photon, by a mercury lamp with a frequency of 5.49 × 1014 hz.

Tcecarenko [31]

The energy of a photon is given by
$E=hf$
where
$h=6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js$ is the Planck constant
f is the frequency of the photon

In our problem, the frequency of the light is
$f=5.49 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$
therefore we can use the previous equation to calculate the energy of each photon of the green light emitted by the lamp:
$E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js)(5.49 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.62 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

What is the current in a 160V circuit if the resistance is 2Ω? V= I= R =

sveta [45]

Answer:

80 amperes

Explanation:

Current in the circuit = ?

Voltage in the circuit = 160 Volts

Resistance = 2 Ω

Voltage = Current x Resistance

V = IR

160V = I x 2 Ω

I = 160V / 2 Ω

I = 80 Amperes

Therefore the current in the circuit is 80 amperes :)
