What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter

1 answer:

8 0

When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

From Top to Bottom:

- Democritus coming up with the concept of an atom

- Dalton discovering that atoms are the smallest part of an element

- Rutherford discovering the nucleus of an atom

- Thomson discovering electrons

- Bohr modeling electrons orbiting the nucleus

- Schrodinger modeling electrons in the electron cloud

Explanation:

The best way to think about this is from the inside out. Democrats (who lived long before any of the other scientists mentioned) was the one who thought of the idea of the atom. - Therefore, this must be first because all other choices are elaborations on the idea that atoms exist. Next must be Dalton. Dalton saw atoms as "cannonballs" if you will; a solid mass. So then after that, Rutherford and his gold foil experiment (he discovered that some rays he shot through gold foil were deflected back; ie the existence of concentrated areas in an atom, ie the nucleus). Then we get into the information on electrons. We must start with discovery (Thomson). Heres where it gets complicated. Electrons don't actually orbit the nucleus, they exist in electron clouds. So it would be Bohr, who came up with the idea that electron exist outside the nucleus, then Schrodinger, who elaborated on Bohr's theory. Hope this helps!

Doping Se (group VI elements) with P(group V)elements would produce a P-TYPE semiconductor with HIGHER conductivity compared to pure Se

the reason is P dopant will introduce holes in the Se as P has lesser valence electron

If 10.0 grams of NaHCO3 is added to 10.0 g of HCl, determine the efficiency of baking soda as an antacid if 6.73 g of NaCl was p

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

percentage yield of NaCl = 96.64%

Explanation:

The reaction was between NaHCO3 and HCl .The chemical equation can be represented below:

NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2 . The balance equation is

NaHCO3 + HCl → NaCl + H2O + CO2

The question ask us to calculate the percentage yield of NaCl.

The efficiency of NaHCO3 as an antacid , the limiting reactant is NaHCO3

1 mole of NaHCO3 produces 1 mole of NaCl

Therefore,

molar mass of NaHCO3 = 23 +1 + 12 + 48 = 84 g

molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g

1 mole of NaHCO3 = 84 g

1 mole of NaCl = 58.5 g

since 84 g of NaHCO3 produces 58.5 g of NaCl

10 g of NaHCO3 will produce ? grams of NaCl

cross multiply

Theoretical yield of NaCl = (10 × 58.5)/84

Theoretical yield of NaCl = 585/84

Theoretical yield of NaCl = 6.9642857143 g

percentage yield of NaCl = actual yield/theoretical yield × 100

percentage yield of NaCl = 6.73/6.9642857143 × 100

percentage yield of NaCl = 673/6.9642857143

percentage yield of NaCl = 96.635897436%

percentage yield of NaCl = 96.64%
