Frank has two balls that light up when they come in contact with a hard surface. He measures the power of the light from one of the balls at 14 m and find that it produces 120 W. If his second ball produces 102 W of power, at what distance would you expect the second ball to have the same brightness? Assume the light radiates uniformly in all directions.m

- (a) Seismographs measure the arrival times of earthquakes with a precision of 0.100 s. To get the distance to the epicenter of the quake, geologists compare the arrival times of S- and P-waves, which travel at different speeds. If S- and P-waves travel at 4.00 and 7.20 km/s, respectively, in the region considered, how precisely can the distance to the source of the earthquake be determined? (b) Seismic waves from underground detonations of nuclear bombs can be used to locate the test site and detect violations of test bans. Discuss whether your answer to (a) implies a serious limit to such detection. (Note also that the uncertainty is greater if there is an uncertainty in the propagation speeds of the S- and P-waves.)arrow_forwardA possible means of space flight is to place a perfectly reflecting aluminized sheet into orbit around the Earth and then use the light from the Sun to push this solar sail. Suppose a sail of area A = 6.00 105 m2 and mass m =6.00 103 kg is placed in orbit facing the Sun. Ignore all gravitational effects and assume a solar intensity of 1 370 W/m2. (a) What force is exerted on the sail? (b) What is the sails acceleration?

- 5. Kittel Ch3-7. Zipper problem. A zipper has N links; each link has a state in which it is closed with energy 0 and a state in which it open with energy &. We require, however, that the zipper can only unzip from the left end, and that the link number s can only open if all links to the left (1,2,...,s-1) are already open. (a) Show that the partition function can be summed in the form Z = 1- exp[-(N+1)ɛ / t] 1- exp(-ε/T) (90) (b) In the limit & >>7, find the average number of open links. The model is a very simplified model of the unwinding of two-stranded DNA molecules-see C. Kittel, Amer. J.

He measures the power of the light from one of the balls at 24 m and find that it produces 120 W. If his second ball produces 115 W of power, at what distance would you expect the second ball to have the same brightness? Assume the light radiates uniformly in all directions.arrow_forwardHigh-Energy Cancer Treatment. Scientists are working on a new technique to kill cancer cells by zapping them with ultrahighenergy (in the range of 1012 W) pulses of light that last for an extremely short time (a few nanoseconds). These short pulses scramble the interior of a cell without causing it to explode, as long pulses would do. We can model a typical such cell as a disk 5.0 um in diameter, with the pulse lasting for 4.0 ns with an average power of 2.0 * 1012 W. We shall assume that the energy is spread uniformly over the faces of 100 cells for each pulse. (a) How much energy is given to the cell during this pulse? (b) What is the intensity (in W/m2) delivered to the cell? (c) What are the maximum values of the electric and magnetic fields in the pulse?arrow_forward
