The answer would be "Rhyolite Porphyry"


It is a rock that contains

a) Orthoclase + Orthoclase phenocryst = 35 % + 15 % = 50 % = plagioclase feldspar

b) Quartz = 30%

c) Alkali fled spar = 20%

<u>ANSWER:</u>

A rock which contains 30% quartz, 20% alkali feldspar, and 50% plagioclase is called Rhyolite porphyry.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • Rhyolite porphyry is known as the igneous rock and lava rock. The rock is made out from a huge composition of clear crystals.
  • These kinds of rock’s age are estimated to be around 600,000 years old. And these rocks are formed due to the explosions caused by the volcanoes.
  • Due to the reason such rocks are present near the volcanic edges.

20) What wavelength does the Sun emit most of its radiation at, and what is the name of that radiation region? vi'sible micromet
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

Explanation:

The Sun emits a large range of electromagnetic waves, from gamma rays (higher frequencies) to radio waves (lower frequencies), through X-rays, ultraviolet rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwaves. The peak of the Sun's energy output is actually in the visible light range (between 400 and 800 nm).

In the graph I annexed, you can see a simplified representation of the energy emissions of the Sun versus the wavelengths of those emissions. The y-axis shows the amount of energy emitted at a given wavelength and the x-axis represents different wavelengths of EM radiation. In this graph is observable than the major emission of radiation emitted by the Sun is in the visible range.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
