Answer :

(A)" Sunlight travels through a longer distance at sunset and interacts with more particles ".

Explanation :

The sunlight is made up of seven colors. The wavelength of red light is maximum as compared to other colors.

And as per Rayleigh law $I \propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda^4}$

Where,

I is the intensity of scattered light

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

The scattering of red light is least.

At sunset, the sunlight travels through a longer distance.This is because they are near to horizon.

Also, there are many particles, dust and moisture are present in the atmosphere in the evening. So, the sun appears reddish.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

The reason why the balloon shrunk is because as the balloon gets cooler, the molecules lose energy and move closer together causing the balloon to shrink.

Vector A has magnitude 13.0 m and vector B has magnitude 16.0 m. The scalar product A.B is 116 m2. What is the magnitude of the

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

$\text{Vector product}=172.66\ m^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The magnitude of vector A, $|A|=13\ m$

The magnitude of vector B, $|B|=16\ m$

Scalar product of A and B, $A{\cdot} B=116\ m^2$

The formula for the scalar product is given by :

$A{\cdot} B=|A||B|\cos\theta$

Where, $\theta$ is the angle between A and B.

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{116}{13\times 16}\\\\\theta=\cos^{-1}\left(0.5576\right)\\\\\theta=56.11^{\circ}$

The formula for the vector product is given by :

$A\times B=|A||B|\sin\theta\\\\=13\times 16\times \sin56.11\\\\=172.66\ m^2$

So, the vector product between these two vectors is $172.66\ m^2$ .
