You have a 1 W light bulb in your lab. It puts out light of only 1 frequency. The wavelength of this light is 500nm. you set up

a detector with a surface area of 1 square centimeter facing the light source at a distance of 100m.
Required:
a. Find the number of photons hitting the detector every second.
b. What is the maximum E field of the E M wave hitting the detector?
c. What is the maximum value of the B field of this E M wave?
d. How far away would you have to place the detector to only receive 1 photon per second from the light bulb?

Answer:

a)   # _photon = 2.5 10¹⁸ photons / s,   b) E = 10⁻² N / C,  c)     B = 3 10⁻¹¹ T

d)  r=  2 10⁹ m

Explanation:

a) Let's solve this exercise in part, let's start by finding the energy of each photon using the Planck relation

          E₀ = h f

          c = λ f

          E₀ = h c /λ

          E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³³⁴   3 10⁸/500 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 3.978 10⁻⁻¹⁹ J

Let's use a direct ratio rule to find the number of photons

         #_foton = E / Eo

         #_fototn = 1 / 3.978 10⁻¹⁹

         # _photon = 2.5 10¹⁸ photons / s

b) The intensity received by the detector is related to the electric field

          I = E²

Let's look for the intensity that the detector receives, suppose that the emission is shapeless throughout the space

          I = P / A

          P = I A

Let's use index 1 for the point on the bulb and index 2 for the point on the detector.

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

         P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

         I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

         I₂ = I₁  r₁²/r₂²

         I₂ = I₁    1 / 100²

         I₂ = I₁ 10⁻⁴

we must know the intensity at the output of the bulb suppose that I₁ = 1 J

          I₂ = 10⁻⁴ J

let's look for the electric field

         E =√I

         E = √10⁻⁴

         E = 10⁻² N / C

c) for the calculation of the magnetic field we use that the field is in phase

               E / B = c

               B = E / c

               B = 10⁻² / 3 10⁸

               B = 3 10⁻¹¹ T

d) Let's use a direct proportions rule if we fear 2.5 10¹⁸ photons in an area  A = 4π R² where R = 100 m how many photons are there in the area of ​​the detector r = 1 cm,   A’= 10⁻⁴ m²

             #_photons = 2.5 10¹⁸ A_detector / A_sphere

             #_photons = 2.5 1018 10-4 / 4π 10⁴

             #_photons = 2 10⁹ photons in the detector area

for the number of photons to decrease to 1, the radius of the sphere must be 2 10⁹ m

A father fashions a swing for his children out of a long rope that he fastens to the limb of a tall tree. As one of the children
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

                     

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

Where:

v^{2}: is the tangential speed = 9.50 m/s

r: is the distance = 6.00 m

Hence, the centripetal acceleration is:

a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r} = \frac{(9.50 m/s)^{2}}{6.00 m} = 15.04 m/s^{2}

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the child at the bottom of the swing is 15.04 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

Problem 6: A bullet in a gun is accelerated from rest from the firing chamber to the end of the barrel at an average rate of 6.3
solong [7]

Answer:

v = 5.166 10² m / s

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using the kinematics equations

           v = v₀ + at

as the bullet starts from rest its initial velocity is zero

           v = a t

let's calculate

           v = 6.3 10⁵   8.2 10⁻⁴

           v = 5.166 10² m / s

A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor.
Zina [86]

Answer:

has free electrons

Explanation:

A conductor has free electrons while an insulator does not. Free electrons are electrons which are not bounded tightly to their parent atoms, and are free to move given the right conditions (ie. a strong EM field).
