A temperature inversion happens when a _____ air layer traps pollution close to the surface of the earth.

Physics

LenaWriter [7]3 years ago

When warm air layer traps pollution that is within the earth's surface, a temperature inversion usually takes place. In addition, at temperature inversion happens when the cold air overlays the warm air in the troposphere, which does not usually happen since warm air rises and cold air sinks by principle.

Luda [366]

Answer:

The time travel is

t=8 s

Explanation:

a= 2 \frac{m}{s^{2} } \\v=-6 \frac{m}{s} \\x=16m

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*t+\frac{1}{2} *2*t^{2}

t^{2}-6*t-16=0\\ using :\\\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4*c*a } }{2} \\\frac{-(-6)+/-\sqrt{(-6)^{2}-4*(-16)*(1) } }{2}=\frac{3}{2} +/- \frac{10}{2} \\t_{1} = 2s \\t_{2} = 8s

Check

t_{2}=8s

x_{f}=x_{o}+v_{o}*t+\frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}

x_{f}=0-6*+\frac{1}{2} *2*8^{2}

x_{f}=-48+64\\x_{f}=16

In the two-slit experiment, monochromatic light of frequency 5.00 × 1014 Hz passes through a pair of slits separated by 2.20 × 1
asambeis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of monochromatic light, f=5\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Separation between slits, d=2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m

(a) The condition for maxima is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

For third maxima,

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{n\lambda}{d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{nc}{fd})  

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{3\times 3\times 10^8\ m/s}{5\times 10^{14}\ Hz\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\ m})  

\theta=4.69^{\circ}

(b) For second dark fringe, n = 2

d\ sin\theta=(n+1/2)\lambda

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\lambda}{2d})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5c}{2df})

\theta=sin^{-1}(\dfrac{5\times 3\times 10^8}{2\times 2.2\times 10^{-5}\times 5\times 10^{14}})

\theta=3.90^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.
