A watt is a unit of power or energy per unit time (1 W = 1 J/s). A semiconductor laser in a CD player has an output wavelength o

f 780 nm and a power level of 0.120 mW. How many photons strike the CD surface during the playing of a CD 78 minutes in length?

Answer:

n = 2.208x10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon( an elementary particle) is given by the equation:

E = nxhxf

Where n is the number of photons, h is plank constant (6,62x10⁻³⁴ J.s), and f is the frequency. Knowing that the power level is 0.120mW (1.2x10⁻⁴ W), the energy in J, for a time of 78 min (4680 s)

E = 1.2x10⁻⁴x4680 = 0.5616 J

The frequency of a photon is its velocity ( c= 3x10⁸ m/s) divided by its wavelength, which is 780 nm = 780x10⁻⁹ m

f = 3x10⁸/780x10⁻⁹

f = 3.846x10¹⁴ s⁻¹

Then, the number of photons is:

0.5616 = nx6,62x10⁻³⁴x3.846x10¹⁴

n = 2.208x10¹⁸ photons.

How were the elements in the first periodic table arranged?
Snezhnost [94]

Based on atomic mass

Explanation:

Elements were arranged on the first periodic table based on their atomic masses.

The mass of an atom is made up of the mass of the nucleus which contains the protons and neutrons.

  • Dimitri Mendeleev was the first person credited for arranging elements periodically.
  • He was said to have been inspired while playing his game of solitaire on a train.
  • On his table, he left spaces for the atomic masses of elements not yet discovered.
  • Today, the periodic table is based on the atomic numbers of elements. This is the number of protons in an atom.

What portion of your salt solution in ice water system is: a. A mixture? b. A solution?
ahrayia [7]

The salt and water are a homogeneous mixture but when salt dissolves in the water system is called a solution of salt and water.

<h3>What is a mixture? </h3>

A mixture is defined as the combination of two or more substances that are not chemically bonded together.

There are two types of mixture which include:

  • Homogeneous (uniform composition) and

  • Heterogeneous mixtures

When salt is added to the ice water system, it lowers the freezing point of the ice water thereby forming a homogenous mixture of water and salt.

The dissolution of salt in ice water leads to the formation of salt and water solution.
