Which of the following would likely be the best reflector of heat energy

1 answer:

4 0

If these are the missing choices:
A. gritty navy blue surface.
B. bumpy red surface.
C. dull orange surface.
D. Polished pale yellow surface.

My answer: D. Polished pale yellow surface

I read an article that summarized the results of the emission of radiation experiments. It stated the following:
1) Black surfaces are the best emitters of heat radiation.
2) Black surfaces are the best absorbers of heat radiation.
3) Shiny surfaces are the best reflectors of heat radiation.
4) Shiny surfaces are poor absorbers of heat radiation.
5) Glass will not transmit long wave infra red radiation.

Because of the above summary, that is why I arrived at the answer D. Polished pale yellow surface would likely be the best reflector of heat energy.

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6

Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

$\lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}$

$1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}$

$v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}$

v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2$

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

At a certain elevation, the ________ , the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules ________.

andriy [413]

At certain altitude, the temperature of air decrease, The air becomes saturated and water vapour molecules starts condensing.

As the altitude of air increase, the atmospheric pressure decrease due to which the temperature of the air decrease. The water molecules in the atmosphere start condensing, which saturate the air (that is air can no hold water molecules), due to which the water vapour molecules starts condensing and falls on the earth in the form of rain.

a mass of 1.00 kg of water at temperature T is poured from a height of 0.100 km into a vessel containing water of the same tempe

Mariana [72]

Answer:

1.34352 kg

Explanation:

$m_w$ = Mass of water falling = 1 kg

h = Height of fall = 0.1 km

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 0.1

c = Specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg K

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

$m_v$ = Mass of water in the vessel

Here the potential energy will balance the internal energy

$m_wgh=m_wc\Delta T+m_vc\Delta T\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh-m_wc\Delta T}{c\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{m_wgh}{c\Delta T}-m_w\\\Rightarrow m_v=\dfrac{1\times 9.81\times 100}{4186\times 0.1}-1\\\Rightarrow m_v=1.34352\ kg$

Mass of the water in the vessel is 1.34352 kg
