Answer:

2. much hotter and much denser than its surface

Explanation:

We know that the temperature around the center of the Sun is about 1.57×10⁷ K and its density is about 162 g/cm³.

Now, the temperature and the density decrease as one moves outward from the center of the Sun, the temperature at the surface of the sun is about 5×10³ K and the density as an average in the surface is about 1.4 g/cm³.

Therefore the answer is:

2. much hotter and much denser than its surface.

I hope it helps you!

Have a nice day!

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The path difference between the two waves should be one-half of a wavelength

Explanation:

When two beams of coherent light travel different paths, arriving at point P. If the maximum destructive interference is to occur at point P , then the condition for it is that the path difference of two beams must be odd multiple of half wavelength. Symbolically

path difference = ( 2n+1 ) λ / 2

So path difference may be λ/2 , 3λ/ 2, 5λ/ 2 etc .

Hence right option is

The path difference between the two waves should be one-half of a wavelength.

Resistors 1 and 2− R1 = 50 Ω , R2 = 90 Ω − are connected in series to a 6.0-V battery. Part APart complete What is the potential

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Part A: The voltage across resistor R1 is approximately $\rm 2.1 \; V$ .

Part B: When the value of resistor R1 decreases, the current in this circuit will increase.

Part C: When the value of resistor R1 decreases, the voltage across resistor R1 will decrease.

Explanation:

Resistor R1 and and R2 are connected in series. That's equivalent to a single resistor of $R_1 + R_2 = 50 + 90 = 140\; \Omega$ . The voltage across the two resistor, combined, is equal to $\rm 6\; V$ . Hence by Ohm's Law, the current through the circuit will be equal to $\rm \dfrac{6\; V}{140\; \Omega} = \dfrac{3}{70}\; A$ .

These two resistors are connected in series. The voltage across each of them might differ. However, the current through each of them should both be equal to the current through the circuit. In this case, the current through both R1 and R2 should be equal to $\rm \dfrac{3}{70}\; A$ . Apply Ohm's Law (again) to find the voltage across R1:

$V = I \cdot R = \dfrac{3}{70} \times 50 \approx \rm 2.1\; V$ .

Since the equivalent resistance is equal to $R_1 + R_2$ , when the value of $R_1$ decreases, the equivalent resistance will also decrease. By Ohm's Law, $I = \dfrac{V}{R}$ . When the value of the denominator ( decreases, the value of the quotient, $I$ the current through the circuit, will increase.

Keep in mind that if two resistors are connected in series,

$I(R_1) = I(\text{Circuit}) = I(R_2)$ .

The resistance of R1 decreases, while the current through it increases. Applying Ohm's Law on R1 won't give much useful information. However, since the resistance of R2 stays the same, the voltage across it will increase when its current increases (again by Ohm's Law.)

Again, since the two resistors are connected in series,

$V(R_1) + V(R_2) = V(\text{Circuit}) = \rm 6 \; V$ ,

when the voltage across R2 increases, the voltage across R1 will decrease.
