Shadows are formed when an opaque object or an object that doesn't allow light to pass through is in the way or infront of etc. a source of light.

It is shown when you are covering the light. So like when the sun is shining down at you, you are standing so the stuff behind you is not getting light because you are in its way.
HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!! ;-)

If Star A is magnitude 1.0 and Star B is magnitude 9.6 , which is brighter and by what factor?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

Star A is brighter than Star B by a factor of 2754.22

Explanation:

Lets assume,

the magnitude of star A = m₁ = 1

the magnitude of star B = m₂ = 9.6

the apparent brightness of star A and star B are b₁ and b₂ respectively

Then, relation between the difference of magnitudes and apparent brightness of two stars are related as give below: $(m_{2} - m_{1}) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})$

The current magnitude scale followed was formalized by Sir Norman Pogson in 1856. On this scale a magnitude 1 star is 2.512 times brighter than magnitude 2 star. A magnitude 2 star is 2.512 time brighter than a magnitude 3 star. That means a magnitude 1 star is (2.512x2.512) brighter than magnitude 3 bright star.

We need to find the factor by which star A is brighter than star B. Using the equation given above,

$(9.6 - 1) = 2.5\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})$

$\frac{8.6}{2.5} = \log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2})$

$\log_{10}(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 3.44$

Thus,

$(b_{1}/b_{2}) = 2754.22$

It means star A is 2754.22 time brighter than Star B.

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.
