As a result this technological improvement, our structural information of rocks has improved greatly.

<h3>What is a petrographic microscope?</h3>

A petrographic microscope is a type of optical microscope that is used to identify rocks and minerals in very thin sections and also to investigate microscopic textures and features that are present in minerals and rocks.

This has improved greatly recent structural information about rocks.

Hence, microscopes used in the study of structures of rocks has overtime improved greatly our structural information about them

How are adhesion and cohesion similar? how are they different?

hichkok12 [17]

they're both properties of water. both involve the "sticking" property of H2O . cohesion is "sticking" together (water sticking to water) and adhesios is water
 "sticking" to something else. They are both important to life processes.

In chemistry, adhesion refers to the tendency of unlike molecules to bond with one another, while cohesion refers to the attractive force between molecules of the same type. Surface tension, which is an essential property of water, illustrates the relationship between adhesion and cohesion.

Phil is riding a scooter and pushes off the ground with his foot. this causes him to accelerate at 12 m /s. Phil weighs 600 N. h

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

734.16 kg m/ $s^{2}$

Explanation:

The problem is asking for the Force of pushing off the ground.

The formula of Force is: F = mass x acceleration

Given = Mass: 600 newtons (N)

Acceleration: 12 m/ $s^{2}$

We have to convert the mass into kg first. Remember that 1 kg is equal to 9.80665 newtons.

Let x be the mass in newtons.

Let's convert: $\frac{1 kg}{9.80665 N}$ x $\frac{x}{600 N}$ = $\frac{600}{9.80665}$ = 61.18 kg

Phil's weight is 61.18 kg

Let's go back to finding the force.

F = m x a

F = 61.18 kg x 12 m/ $s^{2}$

F = 734.16 kg m/ $s^{2}$

What is the maximum wavelength of incident light that can produce photoelectrons from silver? The work function for silver is Φ=

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The maximum wavelength of incident light that can produce photoelectrons from silver is 423.5 nm.

Explanation:

Given;

work function of silver, Φ = 2.93 eV = 2.93 x 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 4.6939 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Apply Einstein Photo electric effect;

E = K.E + Ф

Where;

E is the energy of the incident light

K.E is the kinetic of electron

Ф is the work function of silver surface

For the incident light to have maximum wavelength, the kinetic energy of the electron will be zero.

E = Ф

hf = Ф

$h\frac{c}{\lambda} = \phi$

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

h is Planck's constant, = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J/s

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

$\lambda = \frac{hc}{\phi}\\\\\lambda =\frac{6.626*10^{-34} *3*10^8}{4.6939*10^{-19}} \\\\\lambda = 4.235 *10^{-7} \ m\\\\\lambda = 423.5 *10^{-9} \ m\\\\\lambda = 423.5 \ nm$

Therefore, the maximum wavelength of incident light that can produce photoelectrons from silver is 423.5 nm.

Which of the following statements are true?

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1) A time-varying magnetic field will produce an electric field.

4) A time-varying electric field will produce a magnetic field.

Explanation:

1) A time-varying magnetic field will produce an electric field.

TRUE

time varying magnetic field will produce electric field which is given as

$E = \frac{r}{2}\frac{dB}{dt}$

2) Time-varying electric and magnetic fields can propagate through space only if there is no matter in their path.

FALSE

Time varying electric field and magnetic field will induce each other and it can travel through any medium as well as it can travel without any medium also

3) Electric and magnetic fields can be treated independently only if they vary in time.

FALSE

electric field can be due to stationary charge and magnetic field due to current carrying elements so it is not compulsory to have time varying

4) A time-varying electric field will produce a magnetic field.

TRUE

Time varying electric field will produce magnetic field given as

$B = \frac{\mu_o\epsilon_o A}{2r}\frac{dE}{dt}$
