Complete question:

A light bulb emits light that travels uniformly in all directions. Detailed measurements show that at a distance of 56 m from the bulb, the amplitude of the electric field is 3.78 V/m. What is the average intensity of the light?

Answer:

The average intensity of the light is 0.02 W/m²

Explanation:

Given;

Amplitude of the electric field, E₀ = 3.78 V/m

The average intensity of the light is calculated as follows;

$I_{avg} = \frac{c\epsilon_0 E_0^2}{2}$

where;

$I_{avg}$ is the average intensity of the light

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

$I_{avg} = \frac{(3\times 10^8)(8.85 \times 10^{-12}) (3.78)^2}{2} \\\\I_{avg} = 0.01897 \ W/m^2\\\\I_{avg} = 0.02 \ W/m^2$

Therefore, the average intensity of the light is 0.02 W/m²

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a)

Since the earth is assumed to be a sphere.

Volume of atmosphere = volume of (earth +atm osphere) — volume of earth

$= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6400+ 50)^3 - \frac{4}{3}\pi (6400)
^3\\\\= \frac{4}{3}\pi(6192125000) km’^3\\= 2.6\times 10^{19} m^3$

Hence the volume of atmosphere is $2.6\times 10^{19} m^3$

(b)

Write the ideal gas equation as foll ows:

$PV = nRT\\\\n\frac{0.20atm\times 2.6\times10^{19} m^3}{0.08206L\, atm/mok\, K \times (15+273+15)K}\times \frac{1L}{10^{-3}m^3}\\\\= 2.20\times 10^{20} moles$

$no.\, of\, molecules = 2.20\times 10^{20} moles \times \frac{6.022\times10^{23}\,molecules}{1mole}= 13.3\times10^{43} molecules
$

Hence the required molecules is $13.3\times10^{43} molecules
$

(c)

Write the ideal gas equation as follows:

$PV =nRT
\\\\n=\frac{1.0 atm \times 0.5L
}{0.08206 L\, atm/mol\,K \times (37 +273.1 5)K} = 0.0196 moles$

$no.\, of\, molecules = 0.0196 moles \times\frac{6.022\times10^{23} molecules}
{Imole}= 1.2\times 10^{23} molecules$

Hence the required molecules in Caesar breath is $1.2\times 10^{23} molecules$

(d)

Volume fraction in Caesar last breath is as follows:

$Fraction,\, X =\frac{12\times 10 molecules}{13.3\times 10^{43} \,molecules}= 9.0\times 10\, molecule/air\, molecule}$

(e)

Since the volume capacity of the human body is 500 mL.

$Volume\, of\, Caesar\, nreath\, inhale\, is =\frac{ 12\times 10^{22}\, molecules}{breath}\times \frac{9.0\times10^{-23} molecule}{air\, molecule}\\\\= 1.08 molecule/breath$

Two loudspeakers emit identical sound waves along the x-axis. The sound at a point on the axis has maximum intensity when the sp

EleoNora [17]

The concept required to solve this problem is related to the wavelength.

The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two positive crests of a wave.

The waves are in phase, then the first distance is

$\Delta x_1 = 20cm$

And out of the phase when

$\Delta x_2 = 30cm$

Thus the wavelength is

$\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

Here,

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

If we rearrange the equation to find it, we will have

$\lambda = 2 (\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 )$

$\lambda= 2(30-20)$

$\lambda = 20cm$

Therefore the wavelength of the sound is 20cm.

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

All the predictions in the impact theory are true.

Explanation:

That’s because of their predictions. Modern computer simulations predict that there happened a collision between Earth and a planet named as Theia. The chunks of both planets conformed into a stable orbit and form the satellite that we know today as our Moon. Similarly, both moon and Earth share similar mantle compositions but cores are dissimilar in terms of their size and composition.
