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!

a runner covers the last straight stretch of the race in 4 s. durning that time, he speeds up from 5 m/s to 9m/s what is the run
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

v_f=v_o+at

Solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The runner speeds up from vo=5 m/s to vf=9 m/s in t=4 seconds, thus:

\displaystyle a=\frac{9-5}{4}

\displaystyle a=\frac{4}{4}=1

The runner's acceleration was 1\ m/s^2

f a single circular loop of wire carries a current of 45 A and produces a magnetic field at its center with a magnitude of 1.50
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Radius of the loop is 0.18 m or 18 cm

Explanation:

Given :

Current flowing through the wire, I = 45 A

Magnetic field at the center of the wire, B = 1.50 x 10⁻⁴ T

Number of turns in circular wire, N = 1

Consider R be the radius of the circular wire.

The magnetic field at the center of the current carrying circular wire is determine by the relation:

B=\frac{N\mu_{0} I}{2R}

Here μ₀ is vacuum permeability constant and its value is 4π x 10⁻⁷ Tm/A.

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

1.50\times10^{-4} =\frac{4\pi \times10^{-7}\times45 }{2R}

R = 0.18 m
