The maximum voltage which can be applied before the bulb will break is 50 Volts.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Resistance of light bulb = 5 Ohms
  • Current = 10 Amps.

To find how much voltage can be applied before the bulb will break, we would apply Ohm's law:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing through an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two terminals of the circuit and it's inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

<u>Where;</u>

  • V is voltage measured in voltage.
  • I is current measured in amperes.
  • R is resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Voltage = 10 × 5

<em>Voltage </em><em>=</em><em> 50 Volts.</em>

Therefore, the maximum voltage which can be applied before the bulb will break is 50 Volts.

A tuning fork of frequency 254 Hz and an open orang pipe of slightly lower frequency are at 15oC. When
katovenus [111]

The temperature of the air in the open orang pipe has been altered by 18.73° C

The frequency of an open orang pipe is estimated by using the formula:

\mathbf{f = \dfrac{v}{2L}}

Then, the combination of the frequency of the tuning fork and the open orang pipe is:

\mathbf{254 - \dfrac{v}{2L} }

These combinations of frequency produce 4 beats per sound.

i.e.

\mathbf{254 - \dfrac{v}{2L}   =4}

\mathbf{ \dfrac{v}{2L} = 254-4 }

\mathbf{ \dfrac{v}{2L} = 250 ----(1)}

When it is altered, the beats first diminish and increase again by 4.

i.e.

\mathbf{ \dfrac{v'}{2L} = 254+4 }

\mathbf{ \dfrac{v'}{2L} = 258 --- (2) }

If we equate both equations (1) and (2) together, we have:

\mathbf{\dfrac{v'}{v}= \dfrac{258}{250}}

However, from our previous knowledge, we understand that the velocity of an object varies directly proportional to the square root of its temperature.

Hence;

  • when the temperature of the pipe  = unknown ???
  • the temperature of the open orang pipe = 15

∴

\implies \mathbf{\sqrt{\Big(\dfrac{273 + T}{273 + 15}\Big)}= \dfrac{258}{250}}

By squaring both sides, we have:

\implies \mathbf{\Big(\dfrac{273 + T}{273 + 15}\Big)}= \Big (\dfrac{258}{250}\Big )^2}

\implies \mathbf{\Big(\dfrac{273 + T}{273 + 15}\Big)= \Big (\dfrac{66564}{62500}\Big )}

\implies \mathbf{\Big(\dfrac{273 + T}{288}\Big)= \Big (1.065024\Big )}

\implies \mathbf{273 +T =306.726912  }

T = 306.726912 - 273

T ≅ 33.73 ° C

∴

The change in temperature ΔT = 33.73° C - 15° C

The change in temperature ΔT = 18.73° C

Determine whether each statement concerning different wavelengths of light is true or false.
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Light with a wavelength of 100 nm is completely absorbed by the atmosphere. True

Light with a wavelength of 400 nm has the color of red. False

Light with a wavelength of 280 nm is in the ultraviolet region. False

Explanation:

Light of wavelength 0-100nm can be absorbed by the earths atmosphere

Ultraviolet light ranges between 320-400nm hence the statement above is false.

The wavelength of red colour is around 620-700nm hence the statement above is false.
