The heat required to convert the unknown substance X from one phase to another is 1600 J times the specific heat of that substance.

Explanation:

The heat energy required to convert a substance or to heat up or increase the temperature of a substance can be obtained from the specific heat formula.

As per this formula, the heat energy applied should be equal to the product of  mass of the substance with temperature gradient and also with specific heat of the substance. Basically, the heat provided to increase or convert a substance should be more than the specific heat of the substance.

Q = mc del T

Since, here the mass of the substance X is given as m = 20g and the temperature change is given from -10°C to 70°C.

Then ΔT = (70-(-10))=70+10=80°C.

As the substance is unknown, the specific heat of that substance can also not be determined. Hence keep it as C.

Q = 20*C*80

Q = 1600C J

Thus, the heat required to convert the unknown substance X from one phase to another is 1600 J times the specific heat of that substance.

The intensity at a distance of 6.0 m from a source that is radiating equally in all directions is 6.0 × 10-10 w/m2 . what is the
satela [25.4K]
The intensity is defined as the ratio between the power emitted by the source and the area through which the power is calculated:
I= \frac{P}{A} (1)
where
P is the power
A is the area

In our problem, the intensity is I=6.0 \cdot 10^{-10} W/m^2. At a distance of r=6.0 m from the source, the area intercepted by the radiation (which propagates in all directions) is equal to the area of a sphere of radius r, so:
A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (6.0 m)^2 = 452.2 m^2

And so if we re-arrange (1) we find the power emitted by the source:
P=IA = (6.0 \cdot 10^{-10}W/m^2)(452.2 m^2)=2.7 \cdot 10^{-7} W

Answer:

 2n t = m λ₀ ,    R = 0.240 mm

Explanation:

The interference by regency in thin films uses two rays mainly the one reflected on the surface and the one reflected on the inside of the film.

The ray that is reflected in the upper part of the film has a phase change of 180º since the ray stops from a medium with a low refractive index to one with a higher regrading index,

-This phase change is the introduction of a λ/2 change

-The ray passing through the film has a change in wavelength due to the refractive index of the medium

          λ₀ = λ / n

Therefore Taking into account this fact the destructive interference expression introduces an integer phase change, then the extra distance 2t is

        2 t = (m’+ ½ + ½) λ₀ / n

        2t = (m’+1) λ₀ / n

         m = m’+ 1

        2n t = m λ₀

        With   m = 0, 1, 2, ...

Where t is the thickness of the film, n the refractive index of the medium, λ the wavelength

The thickness of a hair is the thickness of the film t

           2R = t

             R = t / 2

             R = 0480/2

              R = 0.240 mm

Optical tweezers use light from a laser to move single atoms and molecules around. Suppose the intensity of light from the tweez
Zanzabum

(a)  3.3\cdot 10^{-6} Pa

The radiation pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a surface that totally absorbs the radiation is given by

p=\frac{I}{c}

where

I is the intensity of the wave

c is the speed of light

In this problem,

I=1000 W/m^2

and substituting c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s, we find the radiation pressure

p=\frac{1000 W/m^2}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa

(b) 4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2

Since we know the cross-sectional area of the laser beam:

A=6.65\cdot 10^{-29}m^2

starting from the radiation pressure found at point (a), we can calculate the force exerted on a tritium atom:

F=pa=(3.3\cdot 10^{-6}Pa)(6.65\cdot 10^{-29} m^2)=2.2\cdot 10^{-34}N

And then, since we know the mass of the atom

m=5.01\cdot 10^{-27}kg

we can find the acceleration, by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{2.2\cdot 10^{-34} N}{5.01\cdot 10^{-27} kg}=4.4\cdot 10^{-8} m/s^2
