Answer:

<h2>d) Light emitted by an element produces a unique identifying spectrum.</h2>

Explanation:

Every atom in the existence is formed by protons, neutrons and electrons. These electrons surround the nucleus in specific arrangements called orbitals, you can imagine it like a planetary system. The fact is that each orbital has an specific amount of energy, and electrons cannot go up or down these orbitals if the energy isn't change.

In addition, when an atom absorbs energy, the electrons inside can jump to a higher orbital temporarily and then go back to its natural position. However, it happens the opposite effect if an atom ejects energy, the electrons jump to a lower orbital, expelling energy in form of electromagnetic waves, and depending on the length of those waves, a color is seen. This electron's jumps happen all the time, and each material have a specific behaviour, which gives specific electromagnetic waves, specific colors, and the formation of those colors is what is called a spectrum, that's why is unique.

Therefore, the correct answer is d.

Answer:

correct answer is option d (Light emitted by an element produces a unique identifying spectrum.)

Explanation:

Each element has different atomic number and atoms of an element can radiate a certain amount of energy. Different elements have different atomic spectrum and it can be used to determine the composition of a material.

When atoms are excited to higher energy state after some time they came back to lower state by emitting their excess energy in the form of light. This light has certain wavelength. This emitted light can be seen as a series of different colored lines and between two colored lines there is a dark space. This series of colored lines is called a line spectra or atomic spectra.

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

The explorer should travel to reach base camp to 5.02 Km at 4.28° south of due west.

Explanation:

Using trigonometric function like Sen(Ф), Cos(Ф) and Tan(Ф) we can get distance and direction that the explorer should travel to reach base camp. When we discompound the vector X = 7.8*Cos(50) = 5.01 Km y y = 7.8 * Sen (50) - 5.6 = 5.975 - 5.6 (Km) = 0.375 (Km) so that Tan (\alpha ) = \frac{0.375}{5.01} = 4.28; \alpha = Arctang (\frac{0.375}{5.01}) = 4.28 (degree) to get how far we use Pythagorean theorem so R^{2} = x^{2}+y^{2} so that R=\sqrt{0.375^{2}+5.01^{2} } =5.02 (Km)

A flywheel with radius of 0.400 mm starts from rest and accelerates with a constant angular acceleration of 0.600 rad/s2rad/s2.
charle [14.2K]

Answer: 0.00024\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Radius of flywheel is r=0.4\ mm

Angular acceleration \alpha=0.6\ rad/s^2

For no change in radius, tangential acceleration is  given as

\Rightarrow a_t=a\lpha \times r

Insert the values

\Rightarrow a_t=0.6\times 0.4\times 10^{-3}\ m/s^2\\\Rightarrow a_t=2.4\times 10^{-4}\ m/s^2\ \text{or}\ 0.00024\ m/s^2

If a force of 19 N is applied to a crate to push it 23 m, how much work is done on the crate by the force?
swat32

Answer:

437 Joules

Explanation:

Use the formula for work directly

(work) = (force) x (displacement)

to get

(work) = (19 N) x (23 m) = 437 Joules

Two major characteristics that change when air is heated and cooled is the density and the direction of the air flow. They change the movement of the air by heated air rises and cooled air doesn't.

Identify the pros and cons of using mirrors versus lenses in each of the following applications:
disa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

A lens – An object, usually made of glass, that focuses or defocuses the light that passes through it.

A mirror – A smooth surface, usually made of glass with reflective material painted on the underside, that reflects light so as to give an image of what is in front of it.

Telescope – monocular optical instrument possessing magnification for observing distant objects, especially in astronomy.

Refracting telescopes – are telescopes that use lenses are and those that use concave parabolic mirrors are called reflecting telescopes. 

Pros of mirror telescope

• They are easier to construct and not expensive to produce

• made larger and more durable (more light can be directed to the eyepiece which is good)

• cannot have any occlusions 

• mirrors have less spherical aberration

• reflect all wavelengths of light equally

• more magnification power for cheaper version

Cons of mirror prisms

• it must also be realigned after cleaning, which can be expensive - maintenance disadvantage

• Reflective Surface Disadvantage

Pros of Lenses telescope

• Easy to use

• More reliable

Cons of Lens telescope

• are not easy to construct and expensive to produce

• May have occlusions

• spherical aberration are more

• Doesnt reflect wavelengths of light equally they bend light differently

• Less magnification power for cheaper version

• heavy

• Longer body

Pro of Mirror periscope

• it helps us to see further than our view that is what is above us or sometimes even below us.

•Light weight

disadvantage:

• it may not work properly and show distorted images due to fog. ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others Ungainly (long, takes up space),

•Not as rugged as prisms.

• Maintenance of reflection surface

Pros of Prism periscopes

• incorporated lenses for magnification and function as telescopes.

• They typically employ prisms and total internal reflection instead of mirrors, because prisms, which do not require coatings on the reflecting surface, are much more rugged than mirrors.

• May be fitted with additional optical capabilities such as range-finding and targeting.

Cons.

•mechanically disadvantage: Complex optically ; Some have a narrow field of view ; May be detected by others 

Ungainly (long, takes up space)

• Heavy weight

Lens - Terrestrial telescope

Pro: An advantage is that it makes it possible to vary the magnification of the telescope.

Cons- This system has the disadvantage increasing the length of the telescope.

Mirror- Terrestrial telescope (Cassegrain)

Pro: Good for distant terrestrial viewing.

greater magnification is attained.

They are more shorter

Cons- It is not what people expect a telescope to look like.

Slight light loss due to secondary mirror obstruction compared to refractors. Generally not suited for most terrestrial applications nor for to view objects in the sky.
