Physics
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

Explanation:

There are two factors on which brightness of star appear to be in the sky

The two factors are

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

1.Luminosity :It is defined as the total energy emitted by the object in a given time.Luminosity vary with the distance of observer from the star.Luminosity is a intrinsic property which depends on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the  material.Luminosity is depends on the size of star.Lager the star luminosity will be more.

2.Apparent brightness: It is defined as how bright a star appears from an observer on the earth and the amount of starlight reaching the earth.if the distance is large then the brightness decreases.When the distance of star from us small then the   brightness of star increases.Distance is inversely proportional to brightness of the star.

A student coils a copper wire around a bar magnet. What action will cause the device to generate electricity?
kolbaska11 [484]

I hope the wire is not wound too tightly around the bar magnet.
The device will generate electrical energy when the bar magnet
is moving in or out of the coil of wire.

Unpolarized light of intensity I=10 falls on two successive polarizer wheels with the angle between the polarizer wheels e-60°.
yan [13]

Answer:

I=\frac{10}{4}

Explanation:

A polarizer changes the orientation of the oscillations of a light wave.

I₀ = Intensity of unpolarized light = 10

θ = Angle given to the polarizer = 60°

Intensity of light

I = I₀cos²θ

⇒I = 10cos²60

\\\Rightarrow I=10\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow I=\frac{10}{4}

So, the after passing through the second polarizer is \mathbf{\frac{10}{4}}

What kind of radiation is emitted in the following nuclear reaction
miv72 [106K]

Beta emission is occurring in the given nuclear reaction.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this equation, the reactant is the Thorium atom, which is reduced to palladium. As the atomic number get decreased by one, so an electron will be emitted. This process of emission of electrons by radiation or decaying the reactant nuclei to form a new product nuclei is termed as beta emission.

So, the electrons are generally termed as beta particles while the positrons are termed as positive beta particles. So this is a kind of radioactive reactions where the reactant changes to new element by releasing an electron and thus there is a change in the atomic number of the product by one.
