Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

Oppositely charged objects attract each other. This attraction holds electrons in atoms and holds atoms to one another in many c
GalinKa [24]

Answer and Explanation:

This can be explained as in Rutherford's model of atom the electrons orbits the nucleus which means that they will travel around the nucleus with some velocity and hence radiate electromagnetic waves which results in the loss of energy due to which the electron keeps coming closer and eventually falls into the nucleus.

But Bohr came up with a better explanation as according to the Bohr's atomic model, electrons stay fixed in orbit with certain energy in different shells around the nucleus and can only jump from an energy level to another if that specific amount of energy is supplied to it.

This model is based on the quantization of energy thus giving an explanation why electrons do not fall into the nucleus of an atom.

The membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 5.3 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.1 x 10-8 m. A
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Explanation:

We are given that

Surface area of membrane=5.3\times 10^{-9} m^2

Thickness of membrane=1.1\times 10^{-8} m

Assume that membrane behave like a parallel plate capacitor.

Dielectric constant=5.9

Potential difference between surfaces=85.9 mV

We have to find the charge resides on the outer surface of membrane.

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor is given by

C=\frac{k\epsilon_0 A}{d}

Substitute the values then we get

Capacitance between parallel plate capacitor=\frac{5.9\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}{1.1\times 10^{-8}}

C=0.25\times 10^{-12}F

V=85.9 mV=85.9\times 10^{-3}

Q=CV

Q=0.25\times 10^{-12}\times 85.9\times 10^{3}=2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Hence, the charge resides on the outer surface=2.1\times 10^{-12} c

Suppose someone pours 0.250 kg of 20.0ºC water (about a cup) into a 0.500-kg aluminum pan with a temperature of 150ºC. Assume th
Troyanec [42]

Answer : The temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of aluminium = 0.90J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.184J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of aluminum = 0.500 kg = 500 g

m_2 = mass of water = 0.250 kg  = 250 g

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of aluminum = 150^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 20^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

500g\times 0.90J/g^oC\times (T_f-150)^oC=-250g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-20)^oC

T_f=59.10^oC

Therefore, the temperature when the water and pan reach thermal equilibrium short time later is, 59.10^oC
