How do you know that potassium an alkali metal is highly reactive

1 answer:

7 0

Potassium is in the most reactive group of elements, the alkali metals, but it's not the most reactive metal within the group. The alkali metals, Group 1A, are the most reactive metals because they have one valence or outer electron. They lose this electron very easily, forming ions with a charge of +1.

Lightsail-2 is a spacecraft launched in June 2019 by the Planetary Society driven by radiation pressure on a solar sail of area

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$2.655\times 10^{13}\ photons$

Explanation:

Area of the solar sail = A = 30 m2

Solar constant = I = 1388 W/m2

Planck's constant = h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ m²kg/s

Speed of light = c = 3×10⁸ m/s

Wavelength of light = $\lambda$ = 570 nm

Pressure from radiation

$P=2\frac{I}{c}\\\Rightarrow P=2\frac{1388}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow P=9.253\times 10^{-6}\ W$

Energy of a photon

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow E=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{570\times 10^{-9}}\\\Rightarrow E=3.487\times 10^{-19}\ J$

Number of photons

$n=\frac{P}{E}\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{9.253\times 10^{-6}}{3.487\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=2.655\times 10^{13}\ photons$

Number of photons is $2.655\times 10^{13}\ photons$

State how a ray of light can travel from air into glass without bending?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

If you shine a beam of light (a bundle of parallel rays) through the air, it will travel in a straight line. Rays of light usually travel in straight lines until they hit something. If a ray of light hits the surface of a sheet of glass, some light will be reflected by the surface of the glass.
