The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material
<u>Explanation:</u>
When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.
But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
Answer:
4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²
Explanation:
A = energy absorbed = 500 J
η = efficiency = 0.90
E = Total energy
Total energy is given as
E = A/η
E = 500/0.90
E = 555.55 J
t = time = 4.00 s
Power of the beam is given as
P = E /t
P = 555.55/4.00
P = 138.88 Watt
d = diameter of the circular spot = 2.00 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m
Area of the circular spot is given as
A = (0.25) πd²
A = (0.25) (3.14) (2 x 10⁻³)²
A = 3.14 x 10⁻⁶ m²
Intensity of the beam is given as
I = P /A
I = 138.88 / (3.14 x 10⁻⁶)
I = 4.42 x 10⁷ W/m²
Wavelength is measured in various units of distance (mm, cm, m, etc.). Frequency uses hertz, but that is not what the question is asking. Therefore, the answer is false.
They will rise to the 2nd layer of the atmosphere where the temperature decreases by a lot and then they will blow up
