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.

What is the period of 60.0 hz electrical power?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

0.017 s

Explanation:

The period of a periodic signal is defined as the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}

where

T is the period

f is the frequency

For the electrical power, the frequency is

f = 60.0 Hz

Substituting into the previous equation, we find the period:

T=\frac{1}{60.0 Hz}=0.017 s

Thoroughly explain how to balance this chemical equation.
noname [10]
The coefficients are 8 17 1 8

remember that we have to have the same amount of atoms on each side of the equation.
start with C there is 1 on the left and 8 on the right so 8 has to be on the CO. now there is an 8 now on the water there is 1 originally and now we need 8. from water there is now a total of 16 hydrogen plus the 18 from octane for a total of 34. the left has an H2. 34/2 = 17. that is where the 17 comes from

Express the surface area of a cube as a function of its volume v.
vredina [299]
The surface area of a cube is:

S = 6l², making l the subject:
l = √(S/6)

While the volume is:

V = l³

If we substitute l to get:

V = (√(S/6))³

√(S/6) = ³√V

S/6 = (³√V)²

S = 6(³√V)² ⇒ 6V^(2/3)

A 720 kg roller-coaster starts off from Location A. Assuming friction does not impede the car's motion, what will be the change
vaieri [72.5K]
We know, Potential Energy = m * g * h
Here, mass & gravity would be same, but their height will change so it will be:

ΔU = U₂ - U₁
ΔU = mgh₂ - mgh₁
ΔU = mg (h₂ - h₁)

Hope this helps!
