Wave particle duality
Let n and m denote the number of photons emitted by a red and blue bulb respectively of equal power in a given time.Is n=m?
Answer:
No
The energy of a photon is hν
where ν is the frequency.
Power = energy/time
==> nhν1 = mhν2
==> nν1 = mν2
clearly n not equal to m

Power factor in AC circuits
Dany Asked:
“what is meant by power factor?”
Ans:
In AC circuits, Power factor is defined as the ratio of true power to apparent power.
If φ is the phase difference between E and I, then
True Power = EvIv cos φ and the Apparent Power is EvIv
Therefore,
