Answer:

- They are orbiting the Sun

- They are small compared to the planets

Explanation:

- Comets are small bodies made of rock and ice that have a highly elliptical orbit, and that warm when they pass close to the Sun, releasing gas due to the sublimation of the ice, producing a characteristic "tail" that can extend even for hundreds of kilometers. They are generally located outside the Solar System, in the Oort cloud.

- Asteroids are irregular bodies whose size range from a few km to even a few hundreds of km, that orbit the Sun in an area of the Solar System located between Mars and Jupiter, called "Asteroid belt". They are made mainly of rock and metal debris

So now we  can analyze the statements given:

- They are made of ice: FALSE, because this is only valid for comets

- They are orbiting the Sun: TRUE for both  comets and asteroids

- They are made of metal debris: FALSE, this is only valid for asteroids

- They are small compared to the planets: TRUE for both (the biggest asteroid, Ceres, has a radius of approx 500 km, much smaller than the smallest planet, Mercury)

- They are at the center of the solar system: FALSE for both

A blackbody curve relates _____. intensity of radiation to energy intensity of radiation to wavelength wavelength to energy surf
neonofarm [45]

A blackbody curve represents the relation between <u>intensity of radiation with wavelength.</u>

Here in this curve we can see that all ideal blackbody radiates almost all wavelength of radiations and these radiations are of different intensity.

here intensity will be maximum for a given wavelength of radiation and the relation of this wavelength with the temperature of the object is given by Wein's law

It is given by

\lambda = \frac{b}{T}

now if we increase the temperature the maximum intensity for which wavelength is given will shift to the left.

Using this all we can also compare the temperature of two blackbody for which radiation graph is given to us.

The direction of current in a solenoid depends on the direction of magnetic field’. Do you agree with this statement? Showthe pa
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

1) Yes the direction of the magnetic field is found based on Fleming's Right Hand Rule

2) The pattern indicates the direction of the magnetic force field lines

Explanation:

1) The solenoid is the is the coil of electric conductor that when it carries an electric current produces a magnetic field

According to Fleming's Right Hand Rule, the direction of the magnetic field produced by a solenoid, depends on the direction of the current such that when the direction of the conventional current is in the direction of the wrapped fingers, the thumb points in the direction of the magnetic field which is North N.

2) The pattern of field lines inside the solenoid indicates the direction of the generated magnetic field moving from left to right within the solenoid as the electric current moves around in the direction shown in the diagram.
