What happens to a mirror when a ray is directed at it

Physics
1 answer:

Nothing happens to the mirror. 

However, if the ray is within some suitable range of
wavelengths, the ray is reflected from the mirror's surface.

b) The distance of the red supergiant Betelgeuse is approximately 427 light years. If it were to explode as a supernova, it woul
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

b) Betelgeuse would be \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} times brighter than Sirius

c) Since Betelgeuse brightness from Earth compared to the Sun is \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} } the statement saying that it would be like a second Sun is incorrect

Explanation:

The start brightness is related to it luminosity thought the following equation:

B = \displaystyle{\frac{L}{4\pi d^2}} (1)

where B is the brightness, L is the star luminosity and d, the distance from the star to the point where the brightness is calculated (measured). Thus:

b) B_{Betelgeuse} = \displaystyle{\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2}} and B_{Sirius} = \displaystyle{\frac{26L_{Sun}}{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}} where L_{Sun} is the Sun luminosity (3.9 x 10^{26} W) but we don't need to know this value for solving the problem. ly is light years.

Finding the ratio between the two brightness we get:

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sirius}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (26\ ly)^2}{26L_{Sun}} \approx 1.43 \cdot 10^{6} }

c) we can do the same as in b) but we need to know the distance from the Sun to the Earth, which is 1.581 \cdot 10^{-5}\ ly. Then

\displaystyle{\frac{B_{Betelgeuse}}{B_{Sun}}=\frac{10^{10}L_{Sun}}{4\pi (427\ ly)^2} \times \frac{4\pi (1.581\cdot 10^{-5}\ ly)^2}{1\ L_{Sun}} \approx 1.37 \cdot 10^{-5} }

Notice that since the star luminosities are given with respect to the Sun luminosity we don't need to use any value a simple states the Sun luminosity as the unit, i.e 1. From this result, it is clear that when Betelgeuse explodes it won't be like having a second Sun, it brightness will be 5 orders of magnitude smaller that our Sun brightness.

A uniform electric field exists in the region between two oppositely charged plane parallel plates. a proton is released from re
dedylja [7]

According to Newton's second law

E.e = a * mp  ..... (1)

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field; e = 1.6 * 10^-19 is the elementary charge; mp = 1.67*10^-27 kg is the proton mass; a is the acceleration.

So, the distance

l = at^2/2 .......(2)

The proton accelerated

a = 2l / t^2 ...........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

E= 32.51 V/m

Electric field

The physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them, is known as an electric field (also known as an E-field).  It can also refer to a system of charged particles' physical field. Electric charges and time-varying electric currents are the building blocks of electric fields. The electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (also known as forces) of nature, manifests itself in both electric and magnetic fields.

Describe the electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves, and give two examples of different types of electromagnetic waves.
Alex

Answer:

Radio Wave

Micro Wave

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves composed by the perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

EM waves have both Electrical and magnetic features.

they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

Electromagnetic spectrum is obtained according to their wave length and the frequency. Due to wave length range it's categorized. Here is the decreasing  order of wave length and increasing order  of different wave types in electromagnetic spectrum

  • Radio Wave
  • Micro Wave
  • IR wave
  • Light Wave
  • UV rays
  • X rays
  • Gamma rays
  • Cosmic rays

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where h corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), c is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and \lambda is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.626070\times10^{-34})(299792458)}{800\times10^{-9}}=\frac{1.986445812\times10^-25}{800}=2.483057265\times10^{-19}J

Tranform the units

1eV=1.602176634\times10^{-19}J\\2.483057265\times10^{-19}J(\frac{1eV}{1.602176634\times10^{-19}J})=1.549802445eV

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

\frac{4ev}{1.549802445eV}=2.508974118

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.
