While using a dimmer switch to investigate a new
type of incandescent light bulb, you notice that the
light changes both its spectral characteristics and
its brightness as the voltage is increased.
If the wavelength of maximum intensity decreases from 1800 nm to 1620 nm as the bulb's voltage is increased, by how
many °C does the filament temperature increase?

- Radio station WWVB, operated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from Fort Collins, Colorado, at a low frequency of 60 kHz, broadcasts a time synchronization signal whose range covers the entire continental US. The timing of the synchronization signal is controlled by a set of atomic clocks to an accuracy of 101012 s, and repeats every 1 minute. The signal is used for devices, such as radio-controlled watches, that automatically synchronize with it at preset local times. WWVB's long wavelength signal tends to propagate close to the ground. (a) Calculate the wavelength of the radio waves from WWVB. (b) Estimate the error that the travel time of the signal causes in synchronizing a radio controlled watch in Norfolk, Virginia, which is 1570 mi (2527 km) from Fort Collins, Colorado.arrow_forwardA microwave source produces pulses of 20.0-GHz radiation, with each pulse lasting 1.00 ns.

The center of each vane is 12.0 cm from the axis. One vane is silvered and it reflects all radiant energy incident upon it. The other vane is blackened and it absorbs all incident radiant energy.
