The wavelengths of terrestrial radiation from earth's surface are concentrated in thermal infrared spectrum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wavelengths used in thermal infrared are in the range of micrometer ranging from 8 to 15. Terrestrial radiation is defined as the radiation that is originating from earth due to radioactive materials like uranium, thorium e.t.c.

Increase in terrestrial radiation by the use of radioactive materials will consequently increase global warming as it releases green house gases thereby degrading the quality of earth's atmosphere.

A very long straight wire has charge per unit length 1.44×10-10C/m.
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m            

Explanation:

We have given charge per unit length, that is liner charge density \lambda =1.44\times 10^{-10}C/m

Electric field E = 2.45 N/C

We have to find the distance at which electric field is 2.45 N/C

We know that electric field due to linear charge is equal to

E=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _0r}, here \lambda is linear charge density and r is distance of the point where we have to find the electric field

So 2.45=\frac{1.44\times 10^{-10} }{2\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times r}

r = 1.06 m

So distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

A +12 μC charge and -8 μC charge are 4 cm apart. Find the magnitude and direction of the E-field at the point midway between t
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Charge of first Particle q_1=+12\ \mu C

Charge of second Particle q_2=-8\ \mu C

distance between them d=4\ cm

k=9\times 10^{9}

magnetic field due to first charge at mid-way between two charged particles is

E_1=\frac{kq_1}{r^2}

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ cm

E_1=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 12\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}

E_1=27\times 10^7\ N/C (away from it)

Electric field due to q_2=-8\ \mu C

E_2=\frac{kq_2}{r^2}

E_2=-\frac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}}{(2\times 10^{-2})^2}

E_2=-18\times 10^7\ N/C(towards it)

E_{net}=E_1+E_2

E_{net}=9\times 10^7\ N/C(away from first charge)

A penny is dropped from the Statue of Liberty
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

a) The velocity is 2.94m/s

b) 0.441

Explanation:

a) Assume gravity is 9.8m/s^2

Use the equation below to solve for the velocity at 0.30 seconds

vf=vi+at,

vf =unknown velocity  vi= initial velocity vi=0m/s  a= 9.8m/s^2 t=0.30seconds

Step 1: Substitute the variables with the knowns

vf=0m/s+(9.8m/s^2)*0.30seconds

Step 2: Solve

vf=2.94m/s

b)

Use the equation below to solve for the displacement at 0.30 seconds

x=vit+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Step 1: Substitute the same variables with the knowns

x=\frac{1}{2}*(9.8m/s^2)*(0.30seconds)^{2}

Note that vi*t=0 as vi=0m/s

Step 2: Solve

x=0.441m

Hydrogen line spectrum lies entirely within visible range
mart [117]

No, that's silly.

You've got your Pfund series where electrons fall down to the 5th level,
your Brackett series where they fall to the 4th level, and your Paschen
series where they fall to the 3rd level.  All of those transitions ploop out
photons at Infrared wavelengths.

THEN next you get your Balmer series, where the electrons fall in
to the 2nd level.  Most of those are at visible wavelengths, but even
a few of the Balmer transitions are in the Ultraviolet.

And then there's the Lyman series, where electrons fall all the way
down to the #1 level.  Those are ALL in the ultraviolet.
