Does a photon emitted by a higher-wattage red light bulb have more energy than a photon emitted by a lower-wattage red bulb

Answer:

The energy of these two photons would be the same as long as their frequencies are the same (same color, assuming that the two bulbs emit at only one wavelength.)

Explanation:

The energy E of a photon is proportional to its frequency f. The constant of proportionality is Planck's Constant, h. This proportionality is known as the Planck-Einstein Relation.

E = h\, f.

The color of a beam of visible light depends on the frequency of the light. Assume that the two bulbs in this question each emits light of only one frequency (rather than a mix of light of different frequencies and colors.) Let f_{1} and f_{2} denote the frequency of the light from each bulb.

If the color of the red light from the two bulbs is the same, those two bulbs must emit light at the same frequency: f_{1} = f_{2}.

Thus, by the Planck-Einstein Relation, the energy of a photon from each bulb would also be the same:

h\, f_{1} = h\, f_{2}.

Note that among these two bulbs, the brighter one appears brighter soley because it emits more photons per unit area in unit time. While the energy of each photon stays the same, the bulb releases more energy by emitting more of these photons.

A springboard diver intending to do a somersault brings her knees and arms closer to her body during the dive. What effect does
Hoochie [10]

During the diving when a diver jumps off from platform he brings her knees and arms closer to the body

This is because when diver is in air he don't have any torque about his center of mass which shows that angular momentum of his body will remain constant during his motion in air

Now we can say product of his moment of inertia and his angular speed will remain constant always

So here if we decrease the moment of inertia of the body during our motion then angular speed will increase so that product will remain constant

and this is what the diver use during his diving

so correct answer will be

<u><em>It decreases her moment of inertia.</em></u>

Write down the conservation of momentum?​
otez555 [7]
Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
Let,
m
A
​
= Mass of ball A
m
B
​
= Mass of ball B
u
A
​
= initial velocity of ball A
u
B
​
= initial velocity of ball B
v
A
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball A
v
B
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball B
F
ab
​
= Force exerted by A on B
F
ba
​
= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in the momentum of A= momentum of A after the collision - the momentum of A before the collision
