What in the world is infrared radiation

1 answer:

7 0

Infrared radiation is heat that travels from one place to another
in the form of electromagnetic waves.

It's called "infrared" because its wavelength is just past the
longest visible light ... the next category with wavelengths
longer than red light.

Infrared radiation is how heat gets here from the sun, and how
you feel the heat from a fireplace or a campfire when you stand
20 feet away from them. When that happens, your front gets
toasty while your back stays cold, so you know it's not a matter
of any warm air around you that's warming you. It's the infrared
electromagnetic radiation direct from the fire to your skin.

Spring #1 has a force constant of k, and spring #2 has a force constant of 2k. Both springs are attached to the ceiling. Identic

Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is 2:1

Explanation:

Let the weight that is hooked to two springs be w.

Spring#1:

Force constant= k

let x1 be the extension in spring#1

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒k·x1=w

⇒x1=w/k

Energy stored in a spring is given by $\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}$ where k is the force constant and x is the extension in spring.

Therefore Energy stored in spring#1 is, $\frac{1}{2}k(x1)^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{w}{k})^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{w^{2}}{2k}$

Spring #2:

Force constant= 2k

let x2 be the extension in spring#2

Therefore by balancing the forces, we get

Spring force= weight

⇒2k·x2=w

⇒x2=w/2k

Therefore Energy stored in spring#2 is, $\frac{1}{2}2k(x2)^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}2k(\frac{w}{2k})^{2}$

⇒ $\frac{w^{2}}{4k}$

∴The ratio of the energy stored by spring #1 to that stored by spring #2 is $\frac{\frac{w^{2}}{2k}}{\frac{w^{2}}{4k}}=$ 2:1

Which of the following is a false statement about dispersion forces? View Available Hint(s) Which of the following is a false st

icang [17]

Explanation :

Dispersion forces are also known as London dispersion forces. It is the weakest force. Also, it is the part of the Van der Waals forces.

(1) This force is exhibited by all atoms and molecules.

(2) These forces are the result of the fluctuations in the electron distribution within molecules or atoms. Due to these fluctuations, the electric field is created. The magnitude of this force is explained in terms of Hamaker constant 'A'.

(3) Dispersion forces result from the formation of instantaneous dipoles in a molecule or atom. When electrons are more concentrated in a place, instantaneous dipoles formed.

(4) Dispersion force magnitude depends on the amount of surface area available for interactions. If the area increases, the size of the atom also increase. As a result, stronger dispersion forces.

So, the false statement is "Dispersion forces always have a greater magnitude in molecules with a greater molar mass".
