Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm. The light from source A has an intensity of 10 μW/m2, and the light from s

ource B has an intensity of 20 μW/m2. This is all we know about the two beams. Which of the following statements about these beams are correct? A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A. B) A photon in beam B has twice the energy of a photon in beam A. C) The frequency of the light in beam B is twice as great as the frequency of the light in beam A. D) A photon in beam B has the same energy as a photon in beam A. E) None of the above statements are true.

Answer:

<em>A) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Explanation:

If we have two waves with the same wavelength, then their intensity is proportional to their power, or the energy per unit time.

We also know that the amount of photon present in an electromagnetic beam is proportional to the energy of the beam, hence the amount of beam per second is proportional to the power.

With these two facts, we can say that the intensity is a measure of the amount of photon per second in an electromagnetic beam. So we can say that <em>beam B carries twice as more power than beam A, or Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.</em>

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

(c) E = 0.28 N/kg

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}

M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}

M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}

E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}

E = 0.28 N/kg

Discuss the limitations of using the Doppler shift to determine an object's speed.
pantera1 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

Limitation of Doppler shift :

The Doppler impact is relevant when the speeds of the wellspring of sound and spectator are considerably less than the speed of sound. The movement of both the spectator and the source is along a similar straight line.When movement is not in straight line or velocity is not much less than speed of light then we can not use Doppler shift

This is the limitation of Doppler shift to determine the object distance

Which of the following is an example of a safe laboratory produced?
Step2247 [10]
I think you meant to say "procedure" instead of "produced". 

Choice B is the answer as it is the safest and most sensible (to prevent damage to clothing or start a fire for example). The other choices are nonsensical or silly.
