Visible-Light Curing in Dentistry
An essential part of modern dentistry is visible-light curing (VLC), a procedure that hardens the restorative materials used in fillings, veneers, and other applications. These “curing lights" work by activating molecules known as photoinitiators within the restorative materials The photoinitiators, in turn, start a process of
Figure 25-50
An intense beam of light cures or hardens, the restorative material used to fill a cavity. (Problems 109, 110, 111, and 112)
The most common photo initiator is camphoroquinone (CPQ). To cure CPQ in the least time, one should illuminate it with
More recently, VLC units have begun to use LEDs as their light source These lights stay cool, emit nearly all of their energy output as visible light at the desired wavelength, and provide light with an intensity as high as 1000 m W/cm2, which is about 10 times the intensity of sunlight on the surface of the Earth.
112 • Assuming the light from the VLC unit has a beam 0 50 cm in diameter, how much energy does the light deliver in 20 seconds?
- A. 0.025 J
- B. B 3 9 J
- C. C 63 J
- D. D 5000 J

- 3. A measurement taken from the UW Jacobson Observatory (Latitude: 47.660503°, Longitude: -122.309424°, Altitude: 220.00 feet) when its local sidereal time is 120.00° makes the following observations of a space object (Based on Curtis Problems 5.12 + 5.13): Azimuth: 225.00° Azimuth rate: 2.0000°/s. Elevation: 75.000° Elevation rate: -0.5000°/s Range: 1500.0 km Range rate: -1.0000 km/s a. What are the r & v vectors (the state vector) in geocentric coordinates? (Answer r = [-2503.47 v = [17.298 4885.2 5.920 5577.6] -2.663]) b. Calculate the orbital elements of the satellite. (For your thoughts: what type of object would this be?) (Partial Answer e = 5.5876, 0=-13.74°) Tip: use Curtis algorithms 5.4 and 4.2.arrow_forwardConsider an isotope with an atomic number of (2(5+4)) and a mass number of (4(5+4)+2). Using the atomic masses given in the attached table, calculate the binding energy per nucleon for this isotope. Give your answer in MeV/nucleon and with 4 significant figures.arrow_forwardA: VR= 2.4 cm (0.1 V/cm) = 0.24 V What do Vector B an C represent and what are their magnitudesarrow_forward
- 4. Consider a cubesat that got deployed below the ISS and achieved a circular orbit of 410 km altitude with an inclination of 51.600°. What is the spacing, in kilometers, between successive ground tracks at the equator: a. Ignoring J2 (Earth's oblateness) effects b. Accounting for J2 effects c. Compare the two results and comment [Partial Answer: 35.7km difference]arrow_forwardplease solve and explainarrow_forwardTwo ice skaters, both of mass 68 kgkg, approach on parallel paths 1.6 mm apart. Both are moving at 3.0 m/sm/s with their arms outstretched. They join hands as they pass, still maintaining their 1.6 mm separation, and begin rotating about one another. Treat the skaters as particles with regard to their rotational inertia. a) What is their common angular speed after joining hands? Express your answer in radians per second. b) Calculate the change in kinetic energy for the process described in a). Express your answer with the appropriate units. c) If they now pull on each other’s hands, reducing their radius to half its original value, what is their common angular speed after reducing their radius? Express your answer in radians per second. d) Calculate the change in kinetic energy for the process described in part c). Express your answer with the appropriate units.arrow_forward
