11. Why do dark surfaces absorb radiation better than light surfaces?

1 answer:

7 0

When an electromagnetic wave hits a surface the photons transmit part of the energy to the molecules of the surface. When parts of the electromagnetic waves are reflected depending on the wavelength that is reflected our eyes perceive the object as having a lighter or darker color. The more wavelengths are reflected the lighter the color of the object will be. The more wavelengths are absorbed the darker the object will appear to be. Therefore, those materials that absorb more wavelengths will be dark and those that absorb fewer wavelengths will appear lighter.

Which nucleus completes the following equation?

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: $^{50}_{25}Mn\rightarrow ^{0}_1e+ ^{50}_{24}Cr$

The chromium nucleus will complete the reaction.

Explanation:

The given reaction is a type of radioactive nuclei decay:

Positron emission: It is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. This is also known as $\beta ^+$ -decay. In this the mass number remains same.

$_A^Z\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-1}^A\textrm{Y}+_{+1}^0e$

Now according to the given reaction:

$^{50}_{25}Mn\rightarrow ^{0}_1e+ ^{50}_{24}Cr$

The chromium nucleus will complete the reaction.

How do you make a magnet with wire and electricity ?

AVprozaik [17]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>By wrapping the wire along a solenoid and connecting it to electricity</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

If you wrap a copper wire into coils and run an electrical current through it, you will create a magnetic field. If you rotate a permanent magnet as opposed to an item that has been magnetized inside a coil of copper wire, you can create an electrical current. The strength of magnetic field generated is proportional to the amount of current through the winding.
