zloy xaker [14]4 years ago

Answer:

The beam of red light contains more photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is directly proportional to its frequency:

E=hf

where

h is the Planck constant

f is the frequency of the photon

In the electromagnetic spectrum, red light has longer wavelength than blue light: this means that red light has lower frequency than blue light (because frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other). So, this means that one photon of red ligth has less energy than a single photon of blue light. Therefore, in order to have two beams with same energy, the beam of red light must contain more photons than the beam of blue light.

Why is the surface salinity of the ocean higher in the subtropics than in equatorial regions?
larisa [96]
Evaporation is more contrasted with the rainfall which is less in the correlation of tropical locale. In tropical locale, protection is very little in light of mists. Alongside temperature, it is the main consideration in adding to changes in the thickness of seawater and consequently sea flow. Saltiness is the way to understanding the worldwide water cycle. 97% of the Earth's free water dwells in the seas. The water cycle is commanded by precipitation and evaporation.

Temperature is____ to the average kinetic energy of a gas.
blsea [12.9K]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As on increasing the temperature, the molecules gain more kinetic energy due to which they tend to collide and move rapidly from one place to another.  

Thus, we can conclude that when temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. This means that temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of a gas.

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

To verify that they're polarized, he could hold the two lenses perpendicular (90 degrees) to each other, one lens in front of the other, and point it at a light source. If no light passes through then the lenses are polarized

In this reaction diagram which part represents the doffrence in energy between the reactants and the products?
Annette [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option C. G.

Explanation:

In this reaction diagram, there is a representation of the reaction profile. The reaction profile shows the change that takes place during a reaction in the energy of reactants or substrate and products. In this profile, activation energy looks like a hump in the line, and the minimum energy required to initiate the reaction.

The overall energy of the reaction, including or excluding activation energy depends on the nature of the reaction if it is exothermic or endothermic. and products are represented by the G which shows the difference between the energy of the reactants and products.
