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

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

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.

Two astronauts are 2.00 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electr

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

$D=1693742.7m$

Explanation:

For sound waves we have v=d/t where v is the speed of sound and d the distance between the astronauts, while for electromagnetic waves we have c=D/t where c is the speed of light and D the distance between the spaceship and Earth. We have written both times as the same because is what is imposed by the problem, so we have t=d/v=D/c, which means:

$D=\frac{dc}{v}$

And for our values:

$D=\frac{(2m)(299792458m/s)}{354m/s}=1693742.7m$

A 0.75 kg book is pushed across the table with an acceleration of 0.3 m/s2. What force is being applied to the

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.225 \ Newtons}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find the force being applied to a book. According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, force is the product of mass and acceleration.

$F= ma$

The mass of the book is 0.75 kilograms and the acceleration is 0.3 meters per square second. Substitute these values into the formula.

m= 0.75 kg
a= 0.3 m/s²

$F= 0.75 \ kg * 0.3 \ m/s^2$

Multiply.

$F =0.225 \ kg * m/s^2$

1 kilogram meter per second squared is equal to 1 Newton. Therefore, our answer of 0.225 kilogram meters per second squared is equal to 0.225 Newtons.

$F= 0.225 \ N$

0.225 Newtons of force are applied to the book.

The percentage of incident light radiation reflected back to space is termed albedo. True or false?

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Albedo is a unit-less, non-dimensional quantity that shows how well a surface reflects solar energy. The value of albedo can vary from 0 to 1, 0 being the black and 1 refers to a white surface. Zero means Surface is a perfect absorber i.e. it absorbs all the incoming rays incidents on it. Albedo 1 means the surface is a perfect reflector.

Albedo usually applies for visible light, even though it may involve some of the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The average albedo associated with earth surface is 30%
