Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

According to the inverse square law,

Brightness \alpha \frac{1}{distance^{2}}

As the distance is doubles, the brightness becomes one fourth.

It means the brightness decreases by a factor of 4.

Option (b)

Answer:

a. decrease by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

The intensity of light is inversely proportional to the square of distance.

I ∝1/d^2

or

I= k/d^2

where k is a constant

so, if d becomes 2d , I will be come I/4

Therefore, intensity will a. decrease by a factor of 3.

Rainfall occurs on the earth due to effect of gravity​
Anna [14]

<em>Answer:</em>

<h3><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em> </em><em>True</em></h3>

  • <em>Because </em><em>Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. Gravity also moves air and ocean water. ... Gravity pulls denser air and water downward, forcing less dense air and water to move upward.</em>

Suppose that an object is moving along a vertical line. Its vertical position is given by the equation L(t) = 2t3 + t2-5t + 1, w
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The average velocity is

266\frac{m}{s},274\frac{m}{s} and 117\frac{m}{s} respectively.

Explanation:

Let's start writing the vertical position equation :

L(t)=2t^{3}+t^{2}-5t+1

Where distance is measured in meters and time in seconds.

The average velocity is equal to the position variation divided by the time variation.

V_{avg}=\frac{Displacement}{Time} = Δx / Δt = \frac{x2-x1}{t2-t1}

For the first time interval :

t1 = 5 s → t2 = 8 s

The time variation is :

t2-t1=8s-5s=3s

For the position variation we use the vertical position equation :

x2=L(8s)=2.(8)^{3}+8^{2}-5.8+1=1049m

x1=L(5s)=2.(5)^{3}+5^{2}-5.5+1=251m

Δx = x2 - x1 = 1049 m - 251 m = 798 m

The average velocity for this interval is

\frac{798m}{3s}=266\frac{m}{s}

For the second time interval :

t1 = 4 s → t2 = 9 s

x2=L(9s)=2.(9)^{3}+9^{2}-5.9+1=1495m

x1=L(4s)=2.(4)^{3}+4^{2}-5.4+1=125m

Δx = x2 - x1 = 1495 m - 125 m = 1370 m

And the time variation is t2 - t1 = 9 s - 4 s = 5 s

The average velocity for this interval is :

\frac{1370m}{5s}=274\frac{m}{s}

Finally for the third time interval :

t1 = 1 s → t2 = 7 s

The time variation is t2 - t1 = 7 s - 1 s = 6 s

Then

x2=L(7s)=2.(7)^{3}+7^{2}-5.7+1=701m

x1=L(1s)=2.(1)^{3}+1^{2}-5.1+1=-1m

The position variation is x2 - x1 = 701 m - (-1 m) = 702 m

The average velocity is

\frac{702m}{6s}=117\frac{m}{s}

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The angle of incidence is  \theta  _ i  = 56^o

     The refractive index of violet light  in diamond  is  n_v = 2.46

       The refractive index of red light in diamond is n_r = 2.41

      The wavelength of violet light is  \lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m

         The wavelength of red  light is  \lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m

Snell's  Law can be represented mathematically as

         \frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n

Where \theta_r is the angle of refraction

=>       sin \theta_r  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}

Now considering violet light

               sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{v}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}

                 sin \theta_r__{v}}  =  0.337

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.337)

                 \theta_r__{v}}  =  19.69^o

Now considering red light

               sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}

substituting values

                sin \theta_r__{R}}  =   \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}

                 sin \theta_r__{R}}  =  0.344

                 \theta_r__{R}}  =  sin ^{-1} (0.344)

                 \theta_r__{R}}  = 20.12^o

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

                  \Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} -  \theta_r__{V}}

substituting values

                  \Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69

                  \Delta \theta =  0.93 ^o
