Light waves are never 'aborted'.
They can be 'absorbed', and I think that's what you mean.
It's what happens when light hits something or goes into it,
and never comes out.
"Absorb" just means "soak up". When a light wave hits something and
gets soaked up in it, it's gone, and never comes out the other side.
The light wave certainly gets changed ... it no longer exists.
The object that absorbs it also gets changed. It soaks up the energy
in the light wave, and it has a little more internal energy (heat) than it
had before the light hit it.
Answer:
m = 4.44 [g]
Explanation:
This is a problem related to heat transfer and thermodynamics. The second law of thermodynamics tells us that heat goes in only one direction, from the highest temperature substance to the lowest temperature. In this case the heat goes from tea to ice. The heat transfer process could be defined as the heat rejection of one body will be equal to the Heat received by another body.
Where:
m = mass = 177[g] = 0.177[kg]
Cp = specific heat = 4186 [J/kg*C]
T_f = 29.1 [°C]
Ti = 31.1 [°C]
Q = 0.177*4186*(29.1 - 31.1)
Q = - 1481.8 [J]
Note: The negative sign means that the heat is rejected.
Recall that the heat rejected is equal to the heat transferred
As the ice is going through a phase change, the fusion latent heat should be used, i.e. when it passes from solid to liquid. The heat transfer for this process is calculated with the following expression.
Qin = m *hf
m = mass of the ice [kg]
hf = Fusion latent heat = 333700 [J/kg]
1481.8 = m * 333700
m = 0.00444 [kg] = 4.44 [g]
Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.
Answer:
None of the transitions in the hydrogen atom corresponds to a photon energy of 5eV hence no photon of this energy is absorbed or emitted by the hydrogen atom.
Explanation:
Electrons in a hydrogen atom must be in one of the allowed energy levels. If an electron is in the first energy level, it must have exactly -13.6 eV of energy. If it is in the second energy level, it must have -3.4 eV of energy and so on.
If the electron wants to jump from the first energy level, n = 1, to the second energy level n = 2. The second energy level has higher energy than the first, so to move from n = 1 to n = 2, the electron needs to gain energy. It needs to gain (-3.4) - (-13.6) = 10.2 eV of energy to be excited to the second energy level.
The step from the second energy level to the third is much smaller. It takes only 1.89 eV of energy for this excitation to take place. It takes even less energy to excite electrons in hydrogen from the third energy level to the fourth, and even less from the fourth to the fifth.
None of these transitions in the hydrogen atom corresponds to a photon energy of 5eV hence no photon of this energy is absorbed or emitted by the hydrogen atom.
Answer:
Without thought to the season, Spring tides happen [two times] every [lunar] month the whole year. When the Sun and the Moon are quadratic, Neap tides also happen two times during a month.
Here is a picture to help show you:
(With the Spring tide, the moon is toward the "left" or "right" of the Earth. With the Neap tide, the moon is "above" or "below/under" the Earth. It's kind of hard to explain).
