A microwave oven operating at 1.22 × 108 nm is used to heat 165 mL of water (roughly the volume of a teacup) from 31.0 °C to 100.0 °C.
Calculate the number of photons needed if 89.5 percent of
microwave energy is converted to the thermal energy of
water.
To calculate the number of photons needed to heat the water, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the energy absorbed by the water to increase its temperature. Step 2: Calculate the total energy in the microwave photons required, taking into account the efficiency of energy conversion. Step 3: Calculate the number of photons using the energy per photon.
Step 1: Calculate the energy absorbed by the water:
We can use the specific heat capacity of water (c) to calculate the energy absorbed by the water to increase its temperature:
Specific heat capacity of water (c) = 4.184 J/g°C Mass of water (m) = 165 mL = 165 g (since the density of water is approximately 1 g/mL) Initial temperature (T1) = 31.0 °C Final temperature (T2) = 100.0 °C
Energy absorbed = m * c * ΔT Energy absorbed = 165 g * 4.184 J/g°C * (100.0 °C - 31.0 °C)
Step 2: Calculate the total energy in the microwave photons:
The energy of a photon (E) is given by Planck's equation:
E = h * c / λ
Where: h = Planck's constant = 6.626 × 10^-34 J·s c = speed of light = 2.998 × 10^8 m/s λ = wavelength of the microwave photons in meters
Since the microwave oven operates at 1.22 × 10^8 nm, we need to convert the wavelength to meters:
λ (in meters) = 1.22 × 10^8 nm * (1 m / 10^9 nm) = 1.22 × 10^-1 m
Now, we can calculate the energy of a single microwave photon:
E_photon = 6.626 × 10^-34 J·s * 2.998 × 10^8 m/s / (1.22 × 10^-1 m)
Step 3: Calculate the number of photons:
Now that we have the energy absorbed by the water and the energy per photon, we can calculate the total number of photons needed:
Number of photons = Energy absorbed / E_photon
Note that we need to consider the efficiency of energy conversion, which is given as 89.5%:
Total energy in the microwave photons = Energy absorbed / 0.895
Finally, we can calculate the number of photons:
Number of photons = (Energy absorbed / 0.895) / E_photon
Substitute the values and calculate:
Energy absorbed ≈ 165 g * 4.184 J/g°C * (100.0 °C - 31.0 °C) Energy absorbed ≈ 165 g * 4.184 J/g°C * 69.0 °C Energy absorbed ≈ 47732.04 J
λ (in meters) = 1.22 × 10^-1 m
E_photon ≈ 6.626 × 10^-34 J·s * 2.998 × 10^8 m/s / (1.22 × 10^-1 m) E_photon ≈ 1.633 × 10^-24 J
Total energy in the microwave photons ≈ 47732.04 J / 0.895 ≈ 53318.09 J
Number of photons ≈ 53318.09 J / 1.633 × 10^-24 J Number of photons ≈ 3.26 × 10^28 photons
So, approximately 3.26 × 10^28 photons are needed to heat 165 mL of water from 31.0 °C to 100.0 °C, considering 89.5 percent of microwave energy converted to thermal energy.

The magnetron tube generates 800 watts of thermal power, all of which is absorbed by the water. The glass beaker sits on a thermally insulated plate.

Microwave ovens heat food by creating microwave electromagnetic radiation that is absorbed by water molecules in the food. Any material that does not have water in it will not absorb the radiation and will not get hot. Metals reflect the microwaves from their surfaces and disrupt the operation of the oven.
