Problem 2: A 21-W horizontal beam of light of wavelength 430 nm, travelling at speed c, passes through a rectangular opening of width 0.0048 m and height 0.011 m. The light then strikes a screen at a distance 0.36 m behind the opening. a) E = 4.62E-19 Joules

b) N = 4.543E+19 # of photons emitted

c) If the beam of light emitted by the source has a constant circular cross section whose radius is twice the height of the opening the beam is approaching, find the flow density of photons as the number of photons passing through a square meter of cross-sectional area per second.

d) Calculate the number of photons that pass through the rectangular opening per second.

e) The quantity NO that you found in part (d) gives the rate at which photons enter the region between the opening and the screen. Assuming no reflection from the screen, find the number of photons in that region at any time.

f) How would the number of photons in the region between the opening and the screen change, if the photons traveled more slowly? Assume no change in any other quantity, including the speed of light.

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
