I have got no idea how to answer this question sorry
This is false because it doesn't matter about the mass
amount of time the two substances are in contact. area in contact between the two substances. specific heat of the material that makes up the substances. the density of the two substances in contact.
power = work/time
watt = joule/sec
a) power = 0.10 watt = 0.1joules/sec
work = power * time
= 0.10 * 1 =0.1joules
work is northing but energy
therefore energy is 0.1joules
according to planks quantum theory E = nhν where nis the no. of photons ; h is planks constant; ν isfrequency
hence, n = E/hν
or n = Eλ/hc (ν = c/λ)
n = (0.1*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^18photons
b) similar to the above calculation
here E = 1.0joules
n = (1.0*700*10^-9)/6.625*10^-34*3*10^8 = 0.3522*10^17photons
Oxidation numbers is the right answer
