You are heating two chunks of metal of the same size and shape. One is made of lead and is heated

Physics

olga55 [171]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

This question is incomplete without the options but the options are provided below

(a) the two spectra peak at the same wavelength

(b) the spectra cannot be compared because they come from different materials

(c) The lead spectrum peak is at a shorter wavelength than the iron spectrum peak

(d) the lead spectrum peak is at a longer wavelength than the iron spectrum peak

The correct option is c

Explanation:

This question on quantum physics seek to test our knowledge of Wien's displacement law which states that when different temperatures (in kelvin) of a black body radiator increases, they will peak at different wavelengths which are inversely proportional to the temperature. Hence, <u>an increase in temperature of a black-body object will peak at a shorter wavelength than the other black-body object with a lesser temperature; since the lead was heated to 400 K, it's spectrum will peak at a shorter wavelength than that of iron which was heated to 350 K.</u>

Hence, the correct option is c

If you are going 60 mph what is your speed in m per second
LenKa [72]

Answer:

1/60 mps

Explanation:

We would first have to divide 60 by 60 because there is 60mins per hour to get 1mpm. After that we would have to divide 1 by 60 because there are 60 secs in a min. So our final answer after doing 1/60 would be a fraction.

Test:

Performing a Litmus Test

Result:

Litmus paper gives the user a general indication of acidity or alkalinity as it correlates to the shade of red or blue that the paper turns.

  • To test the pH of a substance, dip a strip of litmus paper into the solution or use a dropper or pipette to drip a small amount of solution onto the litmus paper.
  • Blue litmus paper can indicate an acid with a pH between 4 and 5 or lower.
  • Red litmus paper can show a base with a pH greater than 8.
  • If a solution has a pH between 5 and 8, it will show little color change on the litmus paper.
  • A base tested with blue litmus paper will not show any color change, nor will an acid tested with red litmus paper register a change in color.

There is a refrigerator running in a room, the heat flowing into the refrigerator from the outside is 40 J/s, and the refrigerat
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

(A) 140 j/sec (b) 1.26 K

Explanation:

We have given the heat heat flowing into the refrigerator = 40 J/sec

Work done = 40 W

(a) So the heat discharged from the refrigerator =heat\ flowing\ in\ refrigerator+work\ done=40+100=140j/sec

(b) Total heat absorbed =140 j/sec =140\times 3600=504000j/hour

Let the temperature be \Delta T

Heat absorbed per hour =504000 [tex]=400\times 10^3\times \Delta T

So  \Delta T=\frac{504000}{400000}=1.26K

Stress distributed over an area is best described as: a) External force b) Axial force c) Radial force d) Internal resistive for
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option D is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Stress is the force per unit area that tend to change the shape of body.

Stress is defined as internal resistive force per unit area.

         \texttt{Stress}=\frac{\texttt{Internal resistive force}}{\texttt{Area}}

         \sigma =\frac{F}{A}

So, so stress distributed over an area is best described as internal resistive force.

Option D is the correct answer.
