The explanation for the following answer is explained below.
Explanation:
The sun is at an average distance of about 93,000,000 miles(150 million kilometers) away from the earth.It is so far away that light from the Sun,travelling at a speed of 186,000 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second, takes about 8 minutes to reach the earth.Earth does not travel around the Sun in a perfect circle.Instead its orbit is elliptical,like a stretched circle,with the sun just off the center of the orbit. At its closest,the Sun is 91.4 million miles (147.1 million kilometers ) away us.At its farthest ,the Sun is 94.5 million miles (152.1 million km) away.The Earth is closest to the Sun during winter in the northern hemisphere
Answer:
Explanation:
The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave
is given by the direction of vector E x B where E is electrical field , B is magnetic field .
Given Electric field = E i because it is along x axis
Magnetic field = Bj because it is along y axis
E x B = Ei x Bj
= EB k .
so direction of E x B is along k direction or z - axis so wave is propagating along z - axis .
We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.
