Answer:

Polarization, also called wave polarization, is an expression of the orientation of the lines of electric flux in an electromagnetic field ( EM field ). Polarization can be constant -- that is, existing in a particular orientation at all times, or it can rotate with each wave cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps!!!!!

Polarization also occurs when light is scattered while traveling through a medium. When light strikes the atoms of a material, it will often set the electrons of those atoms into vibration. The vibrating electrons then produce their own electromagnetic wave that is radiated outward in all directions.

If no heat is lost to the surroundings, how much heat must be added to raise the temperature from 20.0 ∘C to 85.0 ∘C ?
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Explanation:

C_{water} = 4190 J/kg.K

C_{Al} = 910 J/Kg. K

m_{Al} = 1.50 kg

m_{water} = 1.80 kg

Q_{added} = Q_{Al} + Q_{water}

=m_{Al} C_{Al}ΔT + m_{water} C_{water}ΔT

= (1.50)(910)(85.0-20)+(1.80)(4190)(85.0-20)

= 578,955 J

= 579 kJ

In the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, each __________ is determined by its wavelength.
Archy [21]

Answer:

A) color

Explanation:

Visible light is a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, that includes wavelengths approximately from 380 nm to 750 nm.

It is the only part of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see. Depending on the wavelength of the light in this region, we perceive the light as a different color.

Therefore, each color is associated to a different range of wavelength, as follows:

Violet 380 - 450 nm

Blue 450 - 495 nm

Green 495 - 570 nm

Yellow 570 - 590 nm

Orange 590 - 620 nm

Red 620 - 750 nm
