Calculate the rate of energy emitted from an incandescent tungsten halogen light bulb as a function of wavelength (W/m2 per µm versus wavelength in µm). Assume the tungsten filament has a temperature of 3300 K.
c. What fraction of the total energy emitted by the bulb produces light that we can see and what fraction is wasted as heat (λ > 800 nm)?
d. Compare total area under your emissive power plot to theoretical area. Given the total power emitted (area under curve) estimate the surface area of the tungsten filament if the bulb is rated for 100 watts

12) The amount of electrical energy stored in a system of two charged particles a distance dd apart is
UE(d)=kq1q2/d
where particle 1 has charge q1, particle 2 has charge q2, and Coulomb's constant has the value k=k= 8.99×109 N m22/C22.
Suppose that you have two particles of charge q1=7q1=7 nC and q2=−7q2=−7 nC. Let's say that you hold the positively charged particle in a fixed position while you steadily move the negatively charged particle farther and farther away at a constant speed of 3 m/s. The distance between the particles therefore changes according to the usual distance formula
d(t)=di+vt,
where v is the given speed and di=3 mm is their initial
separation distance.
How much power do you deliver to the system at the time t=1s as you
steadily separate the particles?

You're considering installing a 4-foot-high by 8-foot-wide picture window in a north-facing wall (no solar gain) that now has a total R (specific thickness of material) value of 23. As a compromise between initial cost and energy savings, you've chosen a standard double-glazed window with the value of R is 2.0. As a result of installing this window, how much more oil will you burn in a 6-month winter heating season with an average outdoor temperature of 25F and an indoor temperature of 68F? Assume your oil furnace is 80% efficient.

Option 1 – How We Hear This activity explores how we hear and how the physical nature of the sound wave determines the quality of the sound experience. Structure of the Ear What are the three main regions of the ear and their associated parts? Briefly describe what happens inside the cochlea? Sound Waves & Frequency What are the three aspects of sound waves? Briefly describe each aspect. Which type of tuning fork would vibrate faster—a small, short one or a large, long one? How is frequency measured and calculated? Explain why longer sound waves lead to lower frequencies and why shorter sound waves lead to higher frequencies. The Theory of Sound Briefly describe the three theories relating to how we perceive pitch. Explain why no single theory can explain human perception of pitch from 20 to 20,000 Hz.
