Why should photons emitted by a hotter gas have, on average, shorter wavelengths than photons emitted by a cooler gas?

Physics

According to wein's law,

wavelength has inverse relation with temperature

so that's why hotter gas has shorter wavelength than cooler gas.

hope this answer is correct ....

A parallel plate capacitor with plates of area A and plate separation d is charged so that the potential difference between its
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a parallel plate capacitor of

Area=A

Distance apart =d

Potential difference, =V

If the distance is reduce to d/2

What is p.d

We know that

Q=CV

Then,

V=Q/C

Then this shows that the voltage is inversely proportional to the capacitance

Therefore,

V∝1/C

So, VC=K

Now, the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given as

C= εA/d

When the distance apart is d

Then,

C1=εA/d

When the distance is half d/2

C2= εA/(d/2)

C2= 2εA/d

Then, applying

VC=K

V1 is voltage of the full capacitor V1=V

V2 is the required voltage let say V'

Then,

V1C1=V2C2

V × εA/d=V' × 2εA/d

VεA/d = 2V'εA/d

Then the εA/d cancels on both sides and remains

V=2V'

Then, V'=V/2

The potential difference is half when the distance between the parallel plate capacitor was reduce to d/2

Name three different avenues by which Thomas Edison received an education
klio [65]
Edison's education is most unique and relevant.

1. The first teacher he had was his mother
2. He found vital lessons and was influenced greatly by the book of R.G. Parker called School of Natural Philosophy
3. Another educating piece he had was a book entitled The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art

His style of learning was though reading books on a variety of subjects, a self-educating environment that fosters independent learning which can be useful through his life.

A Ping-Pong ball is given an upward initial velocity. The force of air resistance causes the times of ascent and descent to be u
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Time of ascent is greater than time of descent.

Explanation:

The gravitational force always acts in the downward direction. The air drag always opposes the motion.

During ascent, the gravitational force and air drag act in opposite direction to the motion where as during descent, only air drag acts in opposite direction to the motion of the ball while gravitational force acts in the same direction. Thus, the time of ascent and descent become unequal with time of ascent being greater than time of descent.
