- Consider burning ethane gas, C2H6 in oxygen (combustion) forming CO2 and water. (a) How much energy (in J) is produced in the combustion of one molecule of ethane? (b) What is the energy of a photon of ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 12.6 nm? (c) Compare your answers for (a) and (b).arrow_forwardWhen the Sojourner spacecraft landed on Mars in 1997, the planet was approximately 7.8 107 km from Earth. How long did it take for the television picture signal to reach Earth from Mars?arrow_forwardIn X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, a material can be analyzed for its constituent elements by radiating the material with short-wavelength X rays, which induce the atoms to emit longer-wavelength X rays characteristic of those atoms. Tungsten, for example, emits characteristic X rays of wavelength 0.1476 nm. If an electron has an equivalent wavelength, what is its kinetic energy?arrow_forward
- 6.101 Laser welding is a technique in which a tightly focused laser beam is used to deposit enough energy to weld metal parts together. Because the entire process can be automated, it is commonly used in many large-scale industries, including the manufacture of automobiles. In order to achieve the desired weld quality, the steel parts being joined must absorb energy at a rate of about 104 W/mm2. (Recall that 1 W = 1 J/s.) A particular laser welding system employs a Nd:YAG laser operating at a wavelength of 1.06m ; at this wavelength steel will absorb about 80% of the incident photons. If the laser beam is focused to illuminate a circular spot with a diameter of 0.02 inch, what is the minimum power (in watts) that the laser must emit to reach the 104 W/mm2 threshold? How many photons per second does this correspond to? (For simplicity, assume that the energy from the laser does not penetrate into the metal to any significant depth.)arrow_forwardA particular microwave oven delivers 750 watts. (A watt is a unit of power, which is the joules of energy delivered, or used, per second.) If the oven uses microwave radiation of wavelength 12.6 cm, how many photons of this radiation are required to heat 1.00 g of water 1.00C, assuming that all of the photons are absorbed?arrow_forwardI am radio stations broadcast at a frequency between 530 KHz and 1700kHz.(1kHz=10^3/s).
