When electrical energy is used to turn on a light bulb, the conversion from electrical energy to light energy is not 100% efficient. This loss of usable energy can be explained by
(a) a destruction of energy
(b) the second law of thermodynamics
(c) the first law of thermodynamics
(d) a conversion to potential energy
(e) none of the above

Imagine that you turn on the lamp in your room that contains an incandescent light bulb and that you stand 1m from the light. Suppose further that your bulb is rated at 100 W. What is the intensity of the light that passes out through this sphere at this distance of say 1m? Now compare this to a milliwatt laser at the same distance away. How many times more/less intense is the laser beam to your eye compared to the...

1.A single light bulb is connected to a 12 V battery. The light bulb uses 55 W of power (which is about what a car’s headlight uses). (a) What is the current flowing out of the high-voltage (+) end of the battery? (b) What is the current flowing into the low-voltage (-) end of the battery? (c) The battery has a sticker on it that says “This 12V battery contains 50 Amp-hours.” This indicates Amps × hours that the battery...

d. (4 Points)A photovoltaic cell converts light into electrical energy. Suppose a certain photovoltaic cell is only 43.5% efficient, in other words, that 43.5% of the light energy is ultimately recovered. If the energy output of this cell is used to heat water, how many 512 nm photons must be absorbed by the photovoltaic cell in order to heat 10.0 g of water from 20.0°C to 30.0°? 07 The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g-"C.

Question 7a: On Earth in 2017, the amount of electrical energy used was 8.03 x 1016 J. How much mass would need to be converted directly to energy to release this much energy? Question 7b: Imagine this conversion of mass to energy all came from nuclear fission reactions of the element uranium. Assume the reaction is 35% efficient: that means that the mass you calculated above to produce the electrical energy is only 35% of the total mass...
