Why do scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles?

2 answers:

8 0

Scientists believe that light is made of streams of particles because only the presence of photons can explain phenomena observed during experiments on the photoelectric effect. These observations include only some frequencies of light causing the ejection of electrons, no time gap existing between light striking a metal and electrons being ejected, and intensity having no effect on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

Betelgeuse is how many times larger than the sun

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars and is probably at least the size of the orbits of Mars or Jupiter around the sun. That's a diameter about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles. For a star it has a rather low surface temperature (6000 F compared to the Sun's 10,000 F).

Which statement about the volume and pressure of a gas is the most accurate? Volume of a gas is equal to pressure of that gas in

Julli [10]

Answer: Volume of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure of that gas in any container.

Explanation:

Hi, according to Boyle's Gas law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure of that gas, at a constant temperature.

The expression is:

P1.V1= P2.V2

V= 1/P

PV = k

Where:

P = pressure of a gas

V = volume of a gas

k = constant

Driving along a boring stretch of interstate in Illinois, you start experimenting using the average speed equation you learned i

astra-53 [7]

The average speed would be 33.29m/s.
The average speed equation is:

$Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}$

First you will need to solve for the distance you traveled in each scenario. So we can solve this by getting the product of speed and the time traveled.

Scenario 1:
Speed = 29m/s
Time = 120s
Distance = ?

Distance = (29m/s)(120s)
= 3,480m

Scenario 2
Speed = 35m/s
Time = 300s
Distance = ?

Distance = (35m/s)(300s)
= 10,500m

Now that you have the distance of both, you can solve for your average speed.

$Average speed = \frac{total distance}{total time}$
$= \frac{3,480m+10,500m}{120s+300s}$
$= \frac{13,980m}{420s}$
$= 33.29m/s$

An ideal heat engine absorbs 97.2 kJ of heat and exhausts 83.8 kJ of heat in each cycle. What is the efficiency of the engine?

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

13.7%

Explanation:

Given that,

Heat absorbed by the engine = 97.2 kJ

Heat exhausted by the engine in each cycle = 83.8 kJ

We need to find the efficiency of the engine. It is calculated by the formula.

$\eta=1-\dfrac{Q_e}{Q_a}\\\\=1-\dfrac{83.8}{97.2}\\\\=0.137\\\\=13.7\%$

so, the efficiency of heat engine is 13.7%.

Examine the cross-sectional slice of a stem of a mint plant. Which statement most specifically describes mint?

Maslowich

The available options are:

Mint is a dicot.

Mint is a monocot.

Mint is an angiosperm.

Mint is a bulb plant.

Answer:

Mint is a dicot.

Explanation:

Given the fact that Mint is considered to be a member of Lamiaceae, an angiosperm plant which is characterized by typically having leaves that consist of reticulate vacation and appears like veins in structure. It also has a seed that contains two cotyledons.

Hence, it is considered a DICOT PLANT due to these characteristics. The botanical name of Mint is referred to as Mentha arvensis.
