What type of transfer of solar energy helps to contribute to the "greenhouse effect"

2 answers:

8 0

The greenhouse effect occurs when Earth's atmosphere traps solarradiation ... infrared (IR) and other types of radiation that are invisible to the human eye. UV radiation has a shorter wavelength and a higher energy level

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Radiation

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Green house effect refers to the exchange of incoming and outgoing solar radiation that warms the earth.
Solar energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere and warms the Earth. About 30% of this energy is reflected back into space.
Green house gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere trap the remaining energy and warms up the planet's surface above the normal temperature which result to a significant change in climate.
The solar radiation is absorbed by components of the earth surface, that is the oceans, land and atmosphere. As they heat up and heat is released to the atmosphere and into the space.

The sound level at a distance of 2.30 m from a source is 115 dB. At what distance will the sound level have the following values

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

distance is 13 m for 100 dB

distance is 409 km for 10 dB

Explanation:

Given data

distance r = 2.30 m

source β = 115 dB

to find out

distance at sound level 100 dB and 10 dB

solution

first we calculate here power and intensity and with this power and intensity we will find distance

we know sound level β = 10 log(I/ $I_{0}$ ) ......................a

put here value (I/ $I_{0}$ ) = 10^−12 W/m² and β = 115

115 = 10 log(I/10^−12)

I = 0.316228 W/m²

and we know power = intensity × 4π r² ...............b

power = 0.316228 × 4π (2.30)²

power = 21.021604 W

we know at 100 dB intensity is 0.01 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 0.01 × 4π r²

so by solving r

r = 12.933855 m = 13 m

distance is 13 m

and

at 10 dB intensity is 1 × 10^–11 W/m²

so by equation b

power = intensity × 4π r²

21.021604 = 1 × 10^–11 × 4π r²

by solving r we get

r = 409004.412465 m = 409 km

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 15 Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave, $v=f\lambda$ , f = frequency of ocean wave

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz$

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

Identify which best describes the energy used to pluck guitar strings to make sound.

Novay_Z [31]

The correct answer is: Mechanical Energy

Explanation:
As the guitar strings are plunked, the potential energy stored in the strings has an ability to make them vibrate. When the strings are vibrating, that potential energy is actually converted to the kinetic energy. Hence, the whole phenomena contains both the kinetic energy and the potential energy. The sum of kinetic energy and the potential energy is called Mechanical energy. Therefore, the correct answer is Mechanical Energy.
