Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens

Physics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

A 5000kg car traveling at 40m/s crashes into a wall and comes to a complete stop in 10s. What was the force on the wall? solve s
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

20,000 N

Explanation:

First find the acceleration:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 − 40 m/s) / 10 s

a = -4 m/s²

Next use Newton's second law to find the force on the car:

F = ma

F = (5000 kg) (-4 m/s²)

F = -20,000 N

According to Newton's third law, the force on the wall is equal and opposite the force on the car.

F = 20,000 N

What helps offset the ion diffusion through leak channels on neurons and helps return the membrane potential to its resting volt
Blizzard [7]

Explanation:

Resting potential is the static membrane potential of the dormant cells. It is opposite of the action potential or the graded membrane potential. Na+/K+ ATPase pumps helps offset the ion diffusion through leak channels on neurons and helps return the membrane potential to its resting voltage.
