Why does the light from the touch reach upto only certain distance

Physics

It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.

What is the direction of transfer of energy in the waves produced?
NemiM [27]
Transverse waves occur when a disturbance causes oscillationsperpendicular (at right angles) to the propagation (the direction of energy transfer). Longitudinal waves occur when the oscillations are parallel to the direction of propagation.

A wheel turns through 5.5 revolutions while being accelerated from rest at 20rpm/s.(a) What is the final angular speed ? (b) How
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

(a) The final angular speed is 12.05 rad/s

(b) The time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is 5.74 s

Explanation:

Given;

number of revolutions, θ = 5.5 revolutions

acceleration of the wheel, α = 20 rpm/s

number of revolutions in radian is given as;

θ = 5.5 x 2π = 34.562 rad

angular acceleration in rad/s² is given as;

\alpha = \frac{20 \ rev}{min} *\frac{1}{s} *(\frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev } *\frac{1 \ min}{60 \ s}) \\\\\alpha = 2.1 \ rad/s^2

(a)

The final angular speed is given as;

\omega _f^2 = \omega_i ^2 + 2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 = 0 +  2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f^2 =   2\alpha \theta\\\\\omega _f = \sqrt{2\alpha \theta}\\\\ \omega _f  = \sqrt{2(2.1) (34.562)}\\\\ \omega _f = 12.05 \ rad/s

(b) the time taken to turn 5.5 revolutions is given as

\omega _f = \omega _i + \alpha t\\\\12.05 = 0 + 2.1t\\\\t = \frac{12.05}{2.1} \\\\t = 5.74 \ s

How do the dark lines of an atom''s absorption spectrum relate to the bright lines of its emission spectrum?
tangare [24]

Wouldn't it be neat if an electron falling closer to the nucleus ... emitting a
photon ... actually gave out more energy than it needed to climb to its original
energy level by absorbing a photon !   If there were some miraculous substance
that could do that, we'd have it made.

All we'd need is a pile of it in our basement, with a bright light bulb over the pile,
connected to a tiny hand-crank generator.

Whenever we wanted some energy, like for cooking or heating the house, we'd
switch the light bulb on, point it towards the pile, and give the little generator a
little shove.  It wouldn't take much to git 'er going.

The atoms in the pile would absorb some photons, raising their electrons to higher
energy levels.  Then the electrons would fall back down to lower energy levels,
releasing more energy than they needed to climb up.  We could take that energy,
use some of it to keep the light bulb shining on the pile, and use the extra to heat
the house or run the dishwasher.

The energy an electron absorbs when it climbs to a higher energy level (forming
the atom's absorption spectrum) is precisely identical to the energy it emits when
it falls back to its original level (creating the atom's emission spectrum).

Energy that wasn't either there in the atom to begin with or else pumped
into it from somewhere can't be created there.

You get what you pay for, or, as my grandfather used to say, "For nothing
you get nothing."
