Thomson’s experiments with cathode rays led to the accidental discovery of X-rays. He observed Thad when cathode rays were stopped by a target, they led to emmission of electromagnetic waves. These waves are used almost every where ranging from industries to hospitals.

A cylinder is fitted with a moveable piston that can be raised and lowered. What would result in an increase in the pressure of
juin [17]

Answer:

decrease the volume of the cylinder.

Explanation:

In order to be able to solve this question we have to understand what Boyle's law is. According to Boyle's law; at constant temperature the pressure of a given mass of gas is inversely proportional to to its volume.

The Boyle's law shows us the relationship between the pressure and the volume. So, the Important thing to note hear is that if the volume in a container is decreased then the pressure will increase (and vice versa) due to the fact that as the volume decreases the particles in that container makes more collision which will make the pressure to increase.

Since, the piston is moveable it means that we can decrease and increase the volume in the cylinder. So, if the decrease the volume of the cylinder then we will have an increase in the pressure of the gas below the piston.

How is electromagnetic energy fromthe microwave transformed into heat energy
zysi [14]

Answer:


First, the microwaves transmit kinetic energy to the water molecules of the food, heating the water molecules. Only, those that are not very deep into the food.


Second, the hot water molecules transmit heat by conduction to the other parts of the food.


Explanation:


1) Microwaves are a form of electromagnetic radiation. The same as any wave, they carry energy.


2) The wave length of microwaves are in the range of 0.001 mm to 1 m (shorter than radio waves and longer than infrared)


3) The microwaves of an oven, used to heat food, have a wave length aroun 12 cm.


4) The microwaves transmit energy to the water molecules in the food, by increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules. As result, the water molecules get hotter. Microwaves only penetrate about 1 cm inside the food (a potato for example) and from that the heat is transferred by conduction to the inner parts of the food.

Fill in the blanks to complete each statement about the heating of Earth's surface.
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Earth takes in thermal energy from the Sun in a process called thermal radiation.

Sunlight strikes Earth's surface at different angles. This angle is called the angle of insolation.

How many grams of salt are in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity? quizzlet?
Degger [83]
<span>35 grams The average salinity of seawater is 35 parts per thousand, so multiply the mass of seawater provided by 0.035 and you'll get the amount of salt (mostly sodium chloride) dissolved in it. So 1000 g * 0.035 = 35 g Therefore in 1 kilogram of seawater with average salinity, there is 35 grams of salt.</span>
