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).

A water wave traves with a length of 10 meters and a frequency of 30 hertz, what is the velocity of the wave?

UNO [17]

Answer: 300 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

length of water wave (λ) = 10 metres

Frequency of water wave (F) = 30 Hertz

Velocity of water wave (V) = ?

The velocity of a wave is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V. It is related to frequency and wave length by the formula: V = F λ

V = 30 Hertz x 10 metres

V = 300 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the water wave is 300 m/s

Power is equal to the rate of energy usage, or work over time (W/t). It could also be consider Fd/t, since W=Fd.

What is the amount of heat, in Sl units, necessary to melt 1 lb of ice?

likoan [24]

Answer:

Heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is 151.469 KJ

Explanation:

We have given mass of ice = 1 lb

We know that 1 lb = 0.4535 kg

Latent heat of fusion for ice =334 KJ/kg

Amount if heat for fusion of ice is given by

$Q=mL$ , here m is mass of ice and L is latent heat of fusion

So heat $Q=mL=0.4535\times 334=151.469kj$

So heat required to melt 1 lb of ice is equal to 151.469 KJ

Answer:

After a male ejaculates, many sperms move to the upper vagina (via contractions from the vagina) through the cervix and across the length of the uterus, reaching the fallopian tubes. Here they will meet the egg cell ready to be fertilized
