The colors you see during a sunset are caused by _____. the refraction of light by the atmosphere the absorption of light by the

Answer: the refraction of light by the atmosphere

Explanation: Refraction is the phenomenon in which there is a change in direction of light passing from one medium to another or from a gradual change in the medium.

Here in case of sunset, the sun rays passes through the varying density of atmosphere because of varying concentrations of dust particles.

Reflection is the phenomenon in which the light bounces back after falling on a surface.

Absorption is the phenomenon in which matter captures the electromagnetic radiations and thus the energy of photons is converted to internal energy of the system.

If you doubled the load resistor in a Wheatstone bridge, the load current would not be half as much. Why not?
Fofino [41]
Doubling the size of a load resistor increases the load current. Increasing the load resistance, in turn the total circuit resistance is reduced. The load current would not be half as much since when you increase the size of load resistor then load current increases.

A satellite in orbit is not truly traveling through a vacuum.It is moving through very, very thin air. Does the resulting airfri
defon

PART A) Yes, the fact that there is a frictional force acting on the satellite generates a loss of energy due to friction. What causes satellite to diminish its orbit during its tour. In fact, many satellites have rectifier systems that allow them to position themselves and remain in their orbit for a long time to avoid being trapped by the Earth's gravity Force and fall into the atmosphere where they would probably be torn apart.

PART B) As a similarity, one could start by mentioning the structure of the two equations are similar and have their own constants who were responsible for supporting them. While the law of gravity speaks of the masses of the bodies the electrostatic law speaks of the charges of the bodies. For both the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

However, the most notable difference between them is basically their statement. While one of the equations speaks about greavedad the other reflects the electromagnetic phenomena. It should be noted that the force of gravity is much weaker than the electromagnetic force and that the latter has the capacity of attraction and repulsion. While the gravitational force only that of attraction.

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft

Find the electron and hole mobilities, and the resistivity of intrinsic silicon at 300K. Is intrinsic silicon a semiconductor
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Resistivity = 231.481 K Ohm

Yes, Intrinsic Silicon is the semiconductor.

Explanation:

Solution:

At 300K:

Let suppose mobility of electron in intrinsic semiconductor = M_{e}

Mobility of electron in intrinsic semiconductor is:

M_{e}  = 1300 cm^{2}/volt.sec

Let suppose mobility of hole in intrinsic semiconductor = M_{h}

M_{h} = 500 cm^{2}/volt.sec

We know that, intrinsic silicon semiconductor has equal number of holes and electrons. So,

At 300 K

Intrinsic Carrier Concentration = 1.5 x 10^{10}/cm^{3} = C

And,

Conductivity of intrinsic Silicon is:

σ = C x (M_{h} + M_{e}) e

e = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C

So, plugging in the values, we get:

σ = C x (M_{h} + M_{e}) e

σ = 1.5 x 10^{10} x (500 + 1300) x 1.6 x 10^{-19}

σ = 4.32 x 10^{-6}

So, now we can find the resistivity.

Resistivity = 1/σ

Resistivity = 1/ 4.32 x 10^{-6}

Resistivity = 231.481 K Ohm

Yes, Intrinsic Silicon is the semiconductor.
