A 100-watt lightbulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power, or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.

) If all of the light emitted has a wavelength of 520nm, how many photons are emitted per second

Answer:

2.62x10²⁰ photons are emitted per second.

Explanation:

The number of photons emitted per second can be found using the following equation:

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}   (1)

Where:

h: is the Planck's constant = 6.62x10⁻³⁴ J.s

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

λ: is the wavelength = 520 nm

E: is the energy = 100 J/s

Equation (1) gives the energy for a single photon, so if we have more than one we need to use the term "n" to indicate the number of photons:

E = \frac{nhc}{\lambda}  

By solving the above equation for n we have:

n = \frac{E \lambda}{hc} = \frac{100 J/s*520 \cdot 10^{-9} m}{6.62 \cdot 10^{-34} J.s*3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s} = 2.62 \cdot 10^{20} photons/s    

Therefore, 2.62x10²⁰ photons are emitted per second.

 

I hope it helps you!

Some homes that use baseboard heating use copper tubing. hot water runs through and heats the copper tubing, which in turn heats
AlekseyPX
When you heat a certain substance with a difference of temperature \Delta T the heat (energy) you must give to it is
E(=Q) =mc\Delta T
where c is the specific heat of that substance (given in J/(g*Celsius))
In this case
E=645*0.3850*(28.22-13.20) =3729.8 (Joule)

Observation: the specific heat of a substance is given in J/(g*Celsius) or J/(g*Kelvin)  because on the temperature scale a difference of 1 degree Celsius = 1 degree Kelvin

A bicycle wheel has a diameter of 63.0 cm and a mass of 1.75 kg. Assume that the wheel is a hoop with all of the mass concentrat
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

F2 = 834 N

Explanation:

We are given the following for the bicycle;

Diameter; d1 = 63 cm = 0.63 m

Mass; m = 1.75 kg

Resistive force; F1 = 121 N

For the sprocket, we are given;

Diameter; d2 = 8.96 cm = 0.0896 m

Radius; r2 = 0.0896/2 = 0.0448 m

Radial acceleration; α = 4.4 rad/s²

Now moment of inertia of the wheel which is assumed to be a hoop is given by; I = m(r1)²

Where r1 = (d1)/2 = 0.63/2

r1 = 0.315 m

Thus, I = 1.75 × 0.315²

I = 0.1736 Kg.m²

The torque is given by the relation;

I•α = F1•r1 - F2•r2

Where F2 is the force that must be applied by the chain to give the wheel an acceleration of 4.40 rad/s².

Thus;

0.1736 × 4.4 = (121 × 0.315) - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.76384 = 38.115 - (0.0448F2)

>> 0.0448F2 = 38.115 - 0.76384

>> F2 = (38.115 - 0.76384)/0.0448

>> F2 = 833.73 N

Approximately; F2 = 834 N

What is the function of the electron transport chain in cellular respiration. why is oxygen needed for the electron transport ch
SpyIntel [72]
1) <span>The function of the electron transport chain is to pump protons in the mitochondrion inter-membrane, thus building up a proton gradient. This gradient will allow the ATP syntheses</span><span>.</span>

2) Why we need oxygen for the electron transport chain:
 At the end of the electron transport chain is the Oxygen that will accept electrons and picks up protons to form water. If the oxygen molecule is not there the electron transport chain will stop running, and ATP will no longer be produced. Basically, we need the oxygen to produce more ATP.
