I often make tea in my microwave oven. I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water. I also looked up the frequency of the microwaves that an oven uses, and found thatf= 2,450 MHz.
(a) How much energy is delivered to the water in the making of a cup of tea?
(b) What is the wavelength of the microwave?
(c) What is the energy of one microwave photon?
(d) How many microwave photons are absorbed by the water in making a cup of tea?
To heat a room with dimensions width a=3 m, length b=5 m, height h=2,2 m, approximately an electrical power of P=10 W per square meter is needed. At a cost of 0.2 soles per kW.h, how much will it cost per day to use this heater?
