Answer:

Reflection

Explanation:

<em>The particles in the atmosphere only reflect the color blue and and all others are absorbed. Only the reflected colors can be seen from our eyes not the absorbed ones</em>

Answer:

$0.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Explanation:

According to coulombs law force between two charges is given by $F=\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon _0}\frac{Q_1Q_2}{R^2}$ here R is the distance between both the charges which is given as 25 cm

We have given force F =0.036 N

So $0.036=\frac{1}{4\pi \times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\frac{Q^2}{(0.25^2)}$ As $\epsilon _0$ is constant which value is $8.85\times 10^{-12}$

$Q^2=0.250\times 10^{-12}$

$Q=0.5\times 10^{-6}C$

Answer:

the final kinetic energy is 0.9eV

Explanation:

To find the kinetic energy of the electron just after the collision with hydrogen atoms you take into account that the energy of the electron in the hydrogen atoms are given by the expression:

$E_n=\frac{-13.6eV}{n^2}$

you can assume that the shot electron excites the electron of the hydrogen atom to the first excited state, that is

$E_{n_2-n_1}=-13.6eV[\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2}]\\\\E_{2-1}=-13.6eV[\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{1}]=-10.2eV$

-10.2eV is the energy that the shot electron losses in the excitation of the electron of the hydrogen atom. Hence, the final kinetic energy of the shot electron after it has given -10.2eV of its energy is:

$E_{k}=11.1eV-10.2eV=0.9eV$
