Incandescent lightbulbs—soon to disappear Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the European Union started phasing out incandescent lightbulbs in 2009. The United States phased them out in 2014. These bulbs have provided light for the world for more than 90. years What’s the problem?
Incandescent lightbulbs produce light when electrons (
Banning incandescent bulbs will reduce energy usage. According to the Department of Energy, about
How much money will you save on your electric bill each year if you replace five 100-W incandescent bulbs with five CFL or LED 25-W bulbs that produce the same amount of light? Assume that the bulbs are on
a. $5

- 6. Light sensors are widely used in energy-efficient lighting control. List the three major types of light sensors and briefly describe how they each proportionally convert the change of the light intensity to change in an electrical signal.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following is NOT a fundamental quantity? O a. Energy O b. Electric current OC. Luminous Intensity O d. Timearrow_forward(Multiple choice) When nerve cells carry a signal from your hand to your brain, how is the signal propagated through your nervous system? (explain why that answer is correct) a. positive ions flows through the cells traveling the entire length of the cells b. positive conduction ions, the cells pump positive ions into and out of the cells so that a positive signal travels through the cells. c. conduction electronsarrow_forward

The conductive plates are connected to a 18-V DC power supply. A a) If you connect a voltmeter between the points A and B, what will be the measured value of the potential difference between these points? b) Calculate the electric field between the parallel conductive plates. c) Draw the equipotential and electric field lines on your paper. 0.5 cm + + + + +arrow_forwardHow do you connect an LED? A. both legs must be connected to a resistor B. "Long leg" to power, "short leg" to ground C. "Short leg" to power, "long leg" to ground D. either direction is finearrow_forward
- Q2. An electron with kinetic energy of 2x10'1 J is moving to the right along the axis of a cathode-ray tube as shown in figure. There is an electric field with magnitude of E = 2 X 10ʻ N/C in the region between the deflection plates. The direction of the electric field is shon in the figure. Everywhere else, E=0. Fluorescent screen Deflection plates (a) How far is the electron from the axis of the tube when it reaches the end of the plates? (b) At what angle is the electron moving with respect to the axis? , (c) At what distance from the axis will the electron strike the fluorescent screen? - 4 cm 12 cmarrow_forwardThe planetary model of the atom pictures electrons orbiting the atomic nucleus much as planets orbit the Sun. In this model you can view hydrogen, the simplest atom, as having a single electron in a circular orbit 1.061010 m in diameter. (a) If the average speed of the electron in this orbit is known to be 2.20106 m/s, calculate the number of revolutions per second it makes about the nucleus. (b) What is the electron's average velocity?arrow_forwardDistances in space are often quoted in units of light years, the distance light travels in one year. (a) How many meters is a light year? (b) How many meters is it to Andromeda, the nearest large galaxy, given that it is 2.00106 light years away? (c) The most distant galaxy yet discovered is 12.0109 light years away. How far is this in meters?arrow_forward
