Why does the sky change colors at sunset?

Physics
2 answers:
KiRa [710]2 years ago

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

(My answer got deleted because it didnt explain which is dumb)

Answer:

because the atmosphere reflects light

Explanation:

When light travels from sun to Earth then the path of light will change continuously due to change in the optical density of the medium.

As we know that as air mass density increases then its optical density also increases and this will bend the light from sun to earth.

Now as light comes towards us from sun it will have multiple refraction and each time while light refracts the different components of light will bend in different directions and this will disperse the light in all directions.

So here while sunset the position of sun will change with time and due to this light of different colours will disperse at each positions of sun.

Due to this phenomenon the colour of sky will change

Do all metals expand the same amount when heated??
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz (3\cdot 10^{11} Hz) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.
