Compare and contrast fluorescent and incandescent light bulbs.

Physics
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
5 0

Incandescent light is a glowing white light produced by heat. An incandescent light bulb works by heating a filament in the bulb. Fluorescent light is a bright light produced by electricity flowing through a tube filled with ionized gas. Fluorescent light bulbs are more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs

Light travels 186 000 miles per second.how many miles dose light travel in one year
Troyanec [42]

       (186,000 mi/sec) x (3,600 sec/hr) x (24 hr/da) x (365 da/yr)

  =   (186,000 x 3,600 x 24 x 365)  mi/yr

  =      5,865,696,000,000  miles per year  (rounded to the nearest million miles)

Suppose you have two solid bars, both with square cross-sections of 1 cm2. They are both 24.6 cm long, but one is made of copper
vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

Expression to calculate thermal resistance for iron (R_{I}) is as follows.

             R_{I} = \frac{L_{I}}{k_{I} \times A_{I}}  

where,   L_{I} = length of the iron bar

             k_{I} = thermal conductivity of iron

             A_{I} = Area of cross-section for the iron bar

Thermal resistance for copper (R_{c}) = \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c} \times A_{c}}[/tex]

where,  L_{c} = length of copper bar

             k_{c} = thermal conductivity of copper

            A_{c} = Area of cross-section for the copper bar

Now, expression for the transfer of heat per unit cell is as follows.

           Q = \frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o}}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}

 Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

       Q = \frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}

  = \frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{21 \times 10^{-2} m[\frac{1}{73 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}} + \frac{1}{386 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}}}

           = 2.92 Joule

It is known that heat transfer per unit time is equal to the power conducted through the rod. Hence,

                 P = \frac{Q}{T}

Here, T is 1 second so, power conducted is equal to heat transferred.

So,           P = 2.92 watt

Thus, we can conclude that 2.92 watt power will be conducted through the rod when it reaches steady state.

Suppose an electron is trapped within a small region and the uncertainty in its position is 24.0 x 10-15 m. What is the minimum
Alina [70]

Answer:

  • Uncertainty in position (∆x) = 24 × 10⁻¹⁵ m
  • Uncertainty in momentum (∆P) = ?
  • Planck's constant (h) = 6.26 × 10⁻³⁴ Js

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta x .\Delta p =  \dfrac{h}{4\pi}

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf24 \times  {10}^{ - 15}  .\Delta p =  \dfrac{6.26 \times  {10}^{ - 34}} {4 \times  \frac{22}{7} }

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf24 \times  {10}^{ - 15}  .\Delta p =  \dfrac{6.26 \times  {10}^{ - 34}} { \frac{88}{7} }

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf24 \times  {10}^{ - 15}  .\Delta p =  \dfrac{6.26 \times  {10}^{ - 34} \times 7} { 8 }

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p =  \dfrac{43.82 \times  {10}^{ - 34} } { 8  \times 24 \times  {10}^{ - 15} }

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p =  \dfrac{43.82 \times  {10}^{ - 34} } { 192 \times  {10}^{ - 15} }

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p =  \dfrac{43.82 \times  {10}^{ - 34}  \times  {10}^{15} } { 192}

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p =  \dfrac{43.82 \times  {10}^{ -19}   } { 192}

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p =  \dfrac{4382 \times  {10}^{ - 2}  \times  {10}^{ -19}   } { 192}

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p =  \dfrac{4382 \times  {10}^{ - 21}   } { 192}

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p = 22.822\times  {10}^{ - 21}

\longrightarrow \:  \:  \sf\Delta p = 2.2822 \times  {10}^{1} \times  {10}^{ - 21}

\longrightarrow \:  \: \underline{ \boxed{ \red{  \bf\Delta p = 2.2822 \times  {10}^{ - 20}  \:  kg/ms}}}

If we keep on applying force on a material object, can it gain speed of light?
Xelga [282]

Answer:

As an object moves faster, its mass increases. ... Because masses approach infinity with increasing speed, it is impossible to accelerate a material object to (or past) the speed of light. To do so would require an infinite force.
