The filament used in light bulb is Tungsten(W).. It's a metal with melting point of about 3300 °C.

"Fire" is exactly what you DON't want inside a light bulb.  If fire was
burning in there, it would burn up the tiny wire that glows to make the
light, and then there would be no more light from the bulb.

Thomas Edison's biggest accomplishment in "inventing" the light bulb
was to FIND a material that could be heated so hot that it would glow
brightly and still NOT burn. 

He tried hundreds of materials.  The one he finally settled on, and the
one still used in incandescent bulbs today, is Tungsten ... Element #74,
a metal that doesn't melt until it's heated to almost 6,200 degrees !

A ray of light in water (index n1) is traveling upward toward the air and is incident at the water-air boundary at the critical
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{n_{2}} \right )

Option (B) is true

Explanation:

refractive index of water = n1

refractive index of air = na = 1

refractive index of oil = n2

When the ray goes from water to air

Use Snell's law

Let the angle of incidence is i

n1 Sin i = na x Sin r

For total internal reflection, r = 90°

n1 x Sin i = 1 x Sin 90

Sin i =  1 / n1    .... (1)

For water oil interface

angle of incidence is i and let the angle of refraction is r.

n1 x Sin i = n2 x Sin r

n1 x / 1 n1 = n2 Sin r   (from equation (1)

Sinr = 1/n2

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{n_{2}} \right )

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The general shape of a frequency distribution. For many data sets, statisticians use this information to determine whether there is a “normal” distribution of values. In normal distributions, the mean, median, and mode are the same. Whether the distribution is symmetrical or skewed in a certain direction. If the data is skewed to the right, this shows the mean will be greater than the median. Similarly, if the data is skewed left, the mean will be less than the median. The symmetry, or asymmetry, of the chart can help statisticians calculate probability. The modality of the data set. This means how many peaks exist in the data. For normal distributions, there will be one peak, or mode, in the data set.

Determine the acceleration that results when a 12 N net force is applied to a 3 kg object.
Vadim26 [7]

Heya!!

For calculate aceleration, let's applicate second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

⇒ Being:

→ F = Force = 12 N

→ m = Mass = 3 kg

→ a = aceleration = ?

Lets replace according formula and leave the "a" alone:

12\ N = 3\ kg * \textbf{a}

\textbf{a} = 12\ N / 3\ kg

\textbf{a} = 4\ m/s^{2}

Result:

The aceleration of the object is of <u>4 m/s²</u>

a light wave is traveling straight up out of the ocean then moves out into the air how do you expect the movement of the light w
Mariulka [41]
If the light is traveling straight up, then it hits the interface (surface
or boundary) between water and air perpendicularly (90° to the surface).

This direction is the direction of the 'normal' to the surface.  So the
angle of incidence is zero, and that means the angle of refraction is
also zero.  The light just keeps going in the same direction when it
emerges into the air, and is not bent.

However, its speed increases in air, and that means its wavelength
also becomes longer than it was in the water.
