Complete question:

How many x-ray photons per second are created by an x-ray tube that produces a flux of x rays having a power of 1.00 W. Assume the average energy per photon in 78.0 keV.

Answer:

The number of x-ray photons per second created by the x-ray tube is 8.01 x 10¹³ photons/sec

Explanation:

Given;

power of the flux produced, P = 1 W = 1 J/s

energy per photon, E = 78 keV

Convert the energy per photon to J

E = 78 x 10³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 1.248 x 10⁻¹⁴ J / photon

let the number of photons = n

n(1.248 x 10⁻¹⁴ J / photon) = 1 J/s

$n = \frac{1 \ J/s}{1.248 \times 10^{-14}\ J/photon } = 8.01 \times 10^{13} \ photons/s$

Therefore, the number of x-ray photons per second created by the x-ray tube is 8.01 x 10¹³ photons/sec

Answer:

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

Explanation:

As we know by Coulomb's law that the electrostatic force between two charges is given as

$F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}$

here we know that

$q_1 = -2 \times 10^2 C$

$q_2 = -4 \times 10^{-8} C$

r = 3.0 m

now we have

$F = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(2 \times 10^2)(4\times 10^{-8})}{3^2}$

$F = 8000 N$

since both charges are similar charges so they will repel each other by the force we calculated above so correct answer will be

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

Why do aeroplanes take longer to fly west than east?

PolarNik [594]

Every planet/moon has global wind that are mostly determined by the way the planet/moon rotates and how evenly the Sun illuminates it. On the Earth the equator gets much more Sun than the poles. resulting in warmer air at the equator than the poles and creating circulation cells (or "Hadley Cells") which consist of warm air rising over the equator and then moving North and South from it and back round.

The Earth is also rotating. When any solid body rotates, bits of it that are nearer its axis move slower than those which are further away. As you move north (or south) from the equator, you are moving closer to the axis of the Earth and so the air which started at the equator and moved north (or south) will be moving faster than the ground it is over (it has the rotation speed of the ground at the equator, not the ground which is is now over). This results in winds which always move from the west to the east in the mid latitudes.

A thin glass rod is submerged in oil. What is the critical angle for light traveling inside the rod? The index of refraction for

Alekssandra [29.7K]

When light travels from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle of incidence above which light is reflected only (no refraction occurs), and the value of this critical angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_2}{n_1} )$
where n2 is the refractive index of the second medium and n1 is the refractive index of the first medium.

In this problem, the first medium is the glass ( $n_1 = 1.50$ ), while the second medium is oil ( $n_2 =1.46$ ), therefore the critical angle is given by
$\theta_c = \arcsin( \frac{1.46}{1.50} )=\arcsin(0.973)=76.7^{\circ}$
