Photon is a quantum of light or a single packet/particle of light at a given wavelength.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that light has dual nature of wave as well as particles. Light waves can behave in wave nature as well as in particle nature depending upon the situation. So the light waves are assumed in different views to easily understand the nature of light waves.

There are several models proposed to simplify the nature of light. Among the several assumptions, one of the most prominent observations are that light waves or quantum of light are termed as photons which are made up of single packet/particles of light in a given wavelength.

Which terms describe two atoms when they form a bond in which electrons are completely transferred from one atom to the other?

notka56 [123]

Answer:

Ionic bonding

Explanation:

Ionic bonding:-

This type of bonding is formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons from one element to another element. In this bonding one element is always a metal and another is a non-metal.

For example, Calcium iodide

Calcium is the element of second group and forth period. The electronic configuration of Calcium is - 2, 8, 8, 2 or $1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^2$

There are 2 valence electrons of Calcium.

Iodine is the element of seventeenth group and fifth period. The electronic configuration of Iodine is - 2, 8, 18, 18, 7 or $[Kr]4d^{10}5s^25p^5$

There are 7 valence electrons of iodine.

Calcium iodide, $CaI_2$ is formed when 2 valence electrons of calcium are loosed and they are gained by 2 atoms of iodine.

What us a magnetic domain?

julsineya [31]

magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material in which the magnetization is in a uniform direction. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point in the same direction.

A rocket explodes into two fragments, one 25 times heavier than the other. The magnitude of the momentum change of the lighter f

V125BC [204]

Answer:

B) The same as the momentum change of the heavier fragment.

Explanation:

Since the initial momentum of the system is zero, we have

0 = p + p' where p = momentum of lighter fragment = mv where m = mass of lighter fragment, v = velocity of lighter fragment, and p' = momentum of heavier fragment = m'v' where m = mass of heavier fragment = 25m and v = velocity of heavier fragment.

0 = p + p'

p = -p'

Since the initial momentum of each fragment is zero, the momentum change of lighter fragment Δp = final momentum - initial momentum = p - 0 = p

The momentum change of heavier fragment Δp' = final momentum - initial momentum = p' - 0 = p' - 0 = p'

Since p = -p' and Δp = p and Δp' = -p = p ⇒ Δp = Δp'

<u>So, the magnitude of the momentum change of the lighter fragment is the same as that of the heavier fragment. </u>

So, option B is the answer

A source at rest emits light of wavelength 500 nm. When it is moving at 0.90c toward an observer, the observer detects light of

Vesna [10]

Answer:

The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.

(b) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of source = 500 nm

Velocity = 0.90 c

We need to calculate the wavelength of observer

Using Doppler effect

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{1-\beta}{1+\beta}}\lambda_{s}$

Where, $\beta=\dfrac{c}{v}$

$\lambda_{o}=\sqrt{\dfrac{c-0.90c}{c+0.90c}}\times500\times10^{-9}$

$\lambda_{o}=115\ nm$

Hence, The observer detects light of wavelength is 115 nm.
