The voltage across the diode indicates the energy given to charge carriers (electrons and holes, but more about that later in th

e course.) If the diode turns on at X volts, then the charge carriers are getting X electron-volts of energy. The charge carriers can give up this energy by emitting a photon. How does the energy the charge carriers get at the turn-on voltage compare to the energy of a red photon

Answer:

the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J

Explanation:

The energy in a diode is conserved so the energy supplied must be equal to the energy emitted in the form of photons.

The energy of a photon is given by the Planck expression

             E = h f

the speed of light, wavelength and frequency are related

             c = λ f

we substitute

             E = \frac{h \ c}{\lambda}

a red photon has a wavelength of lam = 700 nm = 700 10⁻⁹ m

we calculate the energy

              E = 6.626 10⁻³⁴  3 10⁸/700 10⁻⁹

              E = 2.8397 10⁻¹⁹J

therefore the charge carriers have an energy 2.8 10⁻¹⁹ J,

FREE BRAINIEST IF YOU ANSWER THIS
Inessa [10]

The watt is a rate, similar to something like speed (miles per hour) and other time-interval related measurements.

Specifically, watt means Joules per Second. We are given that the electrical engine has 400 watts, meaning it can make 400 joules per second. If we need 300 kJ, or 3000 Joules, then we can write an equation to solve the time it would take to reach this amount of joules:

w * t = E

w: Watts

t: Time

E: Energy required

(Watts times time is equal to the energy required)

<u>Input our values:</u>

400 * t = 3000

(We need to write 3000 joules instead of 300 kilojoules, since Watts is in joules per second. It's important to make sure your units are consistent in your equations)

<u>Divide both sides by 400 to isolate t:</u>

<u />\frac{400t}{400} = \frac{3000}{400}

t = 7.5 (s)

<u>It will take 7.5 seconds for the 400 W engine to produce 300 kJ of work.</u>

<u></u>

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.
