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!

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The charges from the thunderstorm flow through the conductive metal

of which the vehicle is made and distribute themselves on the outside surface of the vehicle

Explanation:

It is actually safer to stay inside a car during a thunderstorm rather than standing outside the car. The reason is this, thunder passes electrical charges through a conductor. The body of the vehicle is made of a metal which is a good conductor of electricity. The charges will redistribute themselves on the body of the vehicle (a metallic conductor of electricity) hence the occupants of the car are relatively safe.

The reasons described above makes those inside the vehicle relatively safe compared to a person standing outside.

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Diffraction of sound wavelengths.

Explanation:

Diffraction-A wave is able to bend around a corner due to the effects of diffraction. sound aves are capable of bending around corners in the same magnitude as it's wavelength making it possible to hear sounds around corners.
