c. How long, in seconds, will it take to increase the temperature of the 3.95-kg shoulder by 2.00°C, assuming that the shoulder absorbs all the radiation from the lamp and given that its specific heat is 3.47 × 103 J/(kg⋅°C)?
A microwave oven produces electromagnetic radiation in the radio portion of the spectrum. These microwave photons are absorbed by water molecules, resulting in an increase in the molecules’ rotational energies. This added energy is transferred by heat to the surrounding food, which as a result becomes hot very quickly. If the energy absorbed by a water molecule is 1.0 × 10-5 eV, what is the corresponding wavelength of the microwave photons?
a. 1.22 GHz
b. 2.45 GHz
c. 4.90 GHz
d. 9.80 Hz
A photon of ultraviolet (UV) light possesses enough energy to mutate a strand of human DNA. What is the energy of a single UV photon having a wavelength of 41 nm?
