Why is the sky blue?

Physics
1 answer:
Taya2010 [7]3 years ago
4 0
A clear cloudless day-time sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colours because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight.

Describe in a couple sentences how the index of refraction is related to the speed of light?
lesantik [10]

Answer: n = c / v" "c" is the speed of light in a vacuum, "v" is the speed of light in that substance and "n" is the index of refraction. According to the formula, the index of refraction is the relation between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

Explanation: the relation is the vacuum and the speed of light in a substance.

A meter stick A hurtles through space at a speed v = 0.25c relative to you, with its length aligned with the direction of motion
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

L_0\approx1.0328\ m

Explanation:

Given:

  • relativistic length of stick A, L=1\ m
  • relativistic velocity of stick A with respect to observer, v=0.25c=7.5\times 10^{7}\ m.s^{-1}

<em>Since the object is moving with a velocity comparable to the velocity of light  with respect to the observer therefore the length will appear shorter according to the theory of relativity.</em>

<u> Mathematical expression of the theory of relativity for length contraction:</u>

L=\frac{L_0}{\gamma}

where:

L = relativistic length

L_0= original length at rest

\gamma = Lorentz factor =\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

\Rightarrow 1=\frac{L_0}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }}

L_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.25c)^2}{c^2} } }

L_0\approx1.0328\ m

Is newton third law accurate for electric forces?
inn [45]

An object with greater charge will exert a greater force on an object than an object with smaller charge would. However, if you consider two charges that exert a force on each other, regardless of the magnitude of charge, both charges will exert an equal force on each other because of Newton's third law.
