Why does the sky change colors at sunset?

2 answers:

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.

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

Is gravity a force ?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Gravity ( gravity , weight, traction force) is the force acting on any body on or near the surface of the celestial body directed at its center. Gravity, that is, the force with which the earth , moon , planets, and other celestial bodies or their systems act on other bodies, is theoretically exercised at any distance, but is practically examined on the surface of these bodies as well as at short distances.

A spotlight on the ground shines on a wall 12 m away. If a man 2 m tall walks from the spotlight toward the building at a speed

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

0.6375 m/s

Explanation:

Let x be the distance of the man from the building

from the figure attached

initially the value of x=12

Given:

$\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$

where the negative sign depicts that the distance of the man from the building is decreasing.

Now, Let The length of the shadow be = y

we have to calculate $\frac{dy}{dt}$ when x=4

from the similar triangles

we have,

$\frac{2}{12-x}=\frac{y}{12}$

$y=\frac{24}{12-x}$

Differentiating with respect to time 't' we get

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{-dx}{dt}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-x}^2\frac{dx}{dt}$

Now for x = 4, and $\frac{dx}{dt}=-1.7m/s$ we have,

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{24}{12-4}^2\times (-1.7)$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=-0.6375m/s$

<u>here, the negative sign depicts the decrease in length and in the question it is asked the decreasing rate thus, the answer is </u><u>0.6375m/s</u>
