Answer:

18000 Bg

Explanation:

after 15 minutes = 36000/2

After 30 minutes = 36000/4

30 minutes × 2 = 1 hour

After 1 hour = 36000/4 × 2 = 18000 Bg

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

Where $h$ corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), $c$ is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and $\lambda$ is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J$

Tranform the units

$1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV$

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

$\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118$

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

I learned the equation as P•V=k•T .

So x=1, y=1, and z= -1 .
