Which property of light waves is responsible for what we see as brightness or intensity?

1 answer:

8 0

Electromagnetic radiation is one of many ways as energy travels through space.
As you may already know, a wave has a valley (lowest point) and a ridge (highest point). The vertical distance between the tip of the crest and the central axis of the wave is known as amplitude. This is the property associated with the brightness, or intensity, of the wave. The horizontal distance between two consecutive crests or valleys of the wave is known as wavelength

Mashutka [201]

<span>The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
</span> $P=I^2 R$
<span>where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.</span>

Determine the magnitude of the effective value of g⃗ at a latitude of 60 ∘ on the earth. assume the earth is a rotating sphere.

dezoksy [38]

In addition to acceleration of gravity we experience centrifugal acceleration away from the axis of rotation of the earth. this additional acceleration has value ac = r w^2 where w = angular velocity and r is distance from your spot on earth to the earth's axis of rotation so r = R cos(l) where l = 60 deg is the lattitude and R the earth's radius and w = 1 / (24hr x 3600sec/hr)
<span>now you look up R and calculate ac then you combine the centrifugal acc. vector ac with the gravitational acceleration vector ag = G Me/R^2 to get effective ag' = ag -</span>

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

v = 50.5 m/s

Explanation:

F = (m)(^v/^t)

115N = (0.04551kg)(v/(0.020s))

2,526.917161 m/s² = v/(0.020s)

v = 50.53834322 m/s

v = 50.5 m/s
