Answer:

Solar Energy .

Explanation:

We widely use 2 kinds of sources of energy . Coal and Nuclear . on burning coal we get carbon monoxide , which can kill a vast majority of peope . Also coal contains sulfur and other elements, including dangerous metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic, that escape into the air when coal is burned.

Nuclear energy produces radioactive waste. nuclear power creation causes lots of damge to our envirnment .The radio active waste remains active and are harmful for living being health.

While on the other hand solar energy though comes expensive , but trust me ! its worth using it .Its absolutely fine if we spend lots of money and save even 1 person's life . Its a renewable source , and we can invest the money by saving utility bills .

A microwave oven operating at 1.22 × 108 nm is used to heat 165 mL of water (roughly the volume of a teacup) from 23.0°C to 100.

ANTONII [103]

Answer: The number of photons are $3.7\times 10^8$

Explanation:

We are given:

Wavelength of microwave = $1.22\times 10^8nm=0.122m$ (Conversion factor: $1m=10^9nm$ )

To calculate the energy of one photon, we use Planck's equation, which is:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where,

h = Planck's constant = $6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s$

c = speed of light = $3\times 10^8m/s$

$\lambda$ = wavelength = 0.122 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$E=\frac{6.625\times 10^{-34}J.s\times 3\times 10^8m/s}{0.122m}\\\\E=1.63\times 10^{-24}J$

Now, calculating the energy of the photon with 88.3 % efficiency, we get:

$E=1.63\times 10^{-24}\times \frac{88.3}{100}=1.44\times 10^{-24}J$

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

Density of water = 1 g/mL

Volume of water = 165 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1g/mL=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{165mL}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=165g$

To calculate the amount of energy of photons to raise the temperature from 23°C to 100°C, we use the equation:

$q=mc\Delta T$

where,

m = mass of water = 165 g

c = specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/g.°C

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature = $T_2-T_1=100^oC-23^oC=77^oC$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$q=165g\times 4.184J/g.^oC\times 77^oC\\\\q=53157.72J$

This energy is the amount of energy for 'n' number of photons.

To calculate the number of photons, we divide the total energy by energy of one photon, we get:

$n=\frac{q}{E}$

q = 53127.72 J

E = $1.44\times 10^{-24}J$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$n=\frac{53157.72J}{1.44\times 10^{-24}J}=3.7\times 10^{28}$

Hence, the number of photons are $3.7\times 10^8$

True or false energy is always lost in a circuit

Llana [10]

Explanation:

Electrons will gain energy as they are "pushed" from different points in the circuit. This energy is then lost when the electrons flow through circuit components such as a light bulb.
