Answer:

719

Explanation:

Conversion

1 picometer (pm) is equivalent to 1 × 10^{-12} meter

1 micrometer is equivalent to 1 × 10^{-6} meter

To find the number of layers, we divide the overal leaf thickness by the thickness of one atom hence dividing tex]0.125 × 10^{-6}[/tex] meter by 174 × 10^{-12} meter we get that the number of sheets will be as follows

\frac {0.125× 10^{-6}}{174\times 10^{-12}}=718.3908045\approx 719

Therefore, they are approximately 719 sheets

Light bulb 1 operates with a filament temperature of 3000 K, whereas light bulb 2 has a filament temperature of 2000 K. Both fil
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

A₁/A₂ = 0.44

Explanation:

The emissive power of the bulb is given by the formula:

P = σεAT⁴

where,

P = Emissive Power

σ = Stefan-Boltzman constant

ε = Emissivity

A = Surface Area

T = Absolute Temperature of Surface

<u>FOR BULB 1:</u>

Since, emissivity and emissive power are constant.

Therefore,

P = σεA₁T₁⁴   ----------- equation 1

where,

A₁ = Surface Area of Bulb 1

T₁ = Temperature of Bulb 1 = 3000 k

<u>FOR BULB 2:</u>

Since, emissivity and emissive power are constant.

Therefore,

P = σεA₂T₂⁴   ----------- equation 2

where,

A₂ = Surface Area of Bulb 2

T₂ = Temperature of Bulb 1 = 2000 k

Dividing equation 1 by equation 2, we get:

P/P = σεA₁T₁⁴/σεA₂T₂⁴

1 = A₁(3000)²/A₂(2000)²

A₁/A₂ = (2000)²/(3000)²

<u>A₁/A₂ = 0.44</u>

The first and second coils have the same length, and the third and fourth coils have the same length. They differ only in the cr
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of  second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of  fourth coil.

Explanation:

The resistance of the coil is directly proportional to the length of the coil and inversely proportional to the area of coil and hence inversely proportional to the square of radius of the coil.

So, the ratio of the resistances of second coil to the first coil is the ratio of square of radius of the first coil to the square of radius of  second coil.

And

The ratio of the resistances of fourth coil to the third coil is the ratio of square of radius of the third coil to the square of radius of  fourth coil.
