One of the scientific characteristics that can make the difference between the Earth and the moon is the so-called Rayleigh dispersion effect. This concept is identified as the dispersion of visible light or any other electromagnetic radiation by particles whose size is much smaller than the wavelength of the dispersed photons. Our atmosphere allows even our 'shadows' to be clear.

On the moon under the absence of the atmosphere or any other mechanism that allows absorbing or failing to re-irradiate sunlight towards the area in its shadows, which makes the shadows on the moon look darker.

Plsss help me <br><br> what factors affect electrostatic force?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

The first factor is the amount of charge on each object. The greater the charge, the greater the electric force. The second factor is the distance between the charges. The closer together the charges are, the greater the electric force is.

Is the wavelength comparable to the size of atoms?
Helen [10]

It totally depends on what kind of wave you're talking about.

-- a sound wave from a trumpet or clarinet playing a concert-A pitch is about 78 centimeters long ... about 2 and 1/2 feet.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave from an AM station broadcasting on 550 KHz, at the bottom of your radio dial, is about 166 feet long ... maybe comparable to the height of a 10-to-15-story building.  This is bigger than atoms.

-- a radio wave heating the leftover meatloaf inside your "microwave" oven is about 4.8 inches long ... maybe comparable to the length of your middle finger.  this is bigger than atoms.

-- a deep rich cherry red light wave ... the longest one your eye can see ... is around 750 nanometers long.  About 34,000 of them all lined up will cover an inch.  These are pretty small, but still bigger than atoms.

-- the shortest wave that would be called an "X-ray" is 0.01 nanometer long.     You'd have to line up 2.5 billion of <u>those</u> babies to cover an inch.  Hold on to these for a second ... there's one more kind of wave to mention.

-- This brings us to "gamma rays" ... our name for the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  To be a gamma ray, it has to be shorter than 0.01 nanometer.

Talking very very very very roughly, atoms range in size from about 0.025 nanometers to about 0.26 nanometers.

The short end of the X-rays, and on down through the gamma rays, are in this neighborhood.
