What happens when light from the sun passes through any type of matter ?

Physics

Answer: Depending on the matter that the light pass through can give you different results.

The matter might be transparent, translucent, or opaque depending on how it interacts with light.

Explanation:

Transmission of light occurs when light passes through matter. As the light being transmitted, it may reflected, absorbed, scattered or pass straight through the matter.

Reflection of light occurs when light bounces back from a surface that it cannot pass through example mirror.

While in absorption, when light is absorbed, the temperature of the matter increases, thus it is said more energy has been added to the matter. Absorption is mostly high in black matters. Example when you wore a black shirt and work under the sun, you found out that you havr to deal with heat more than when you wore white or different color.

Most of the light is absorbed.

). with the input voltage range set at +/- 500mv, what is the smallest difference in voltage that can be resolved? show your cal
dalvyx [7]
The smallest difference in voltage that can be resolved is referred to as the resolution. The resolution can be calculated with the following formula:
resolution=voltage range / digital range
The voltage range in our case is from -500mV to 500mV, which gives 1000mV.
The digital range on the other hand is 2^(number of bits).
It depends on what type of bit board we are using. If the ADC we are using is a 16 bit board, then 2^16=<span>65536.
So, the resolution is:
resolution=1000mV/</span><span>65536=0.015 mV</span>

If the solar system shrank so that the sun were located just one centimeter from Earth, about how far away could you find the ne
DedPeter [7]
E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

If you have lifted 10 pounds 2 feet, you have done ___ foot-pounds of work.
nasty-shy [4]
Work = Force x distance
          (10 pounds)(2 feet)
Work = 20 foot-pounds of work

hope this helps :)

A person travelled 350 m east from his home and returns back home an hour has displacement of_?​
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

vector of zero magnitude

Explanation:

The displacement is a vector magnitude, therefore, in addition to being a module, it has direction and sense.

In this case it moved 350 m and then returned the same 350 m, so the total displacement is zero.

If we draw the vector, one has a directional direction to the right and the other direction to the left, therefore when adding the two vectors gives a vector of zero magnitude

All stars go through a lifecycle.
Komok [63]

Mira is much bigger than the Sun.

Only very massive stars will go through a supernova stage, causing the outer layer to explode away and the core to collapse in on itself, becoming very dense.
