I’ll refer to electromagnetic radiation as EMR.
Visible light is a very small subset of EMR. Many other ranges like infrared, ultraviolet, or gamma must be detected by special equipment.
EMR is what makes up light, and as we know from any high school physics class, light exhibits both particle-like properties (photoelectric effect and Compton scattering) and wave-like properties (refraction, diffraction, double-slit & single-slit experiment).
EMR can travel without a medium, like the vast emptiness of space. It can also travel with a medium. It can transmit through various materials albeit at a slower speed, like water, earth’s atmosphere, glass etc.
The propagation speed of EMR in space is 3x10^8 m/s, which is a speed unattainable by any of our current means of transportation. I would say that’s quite fast.
Answer:
The component of block weight parallel to the plane, Wₓ = W cosθ
Explanation:
Let the weight of the block due to gravitation is W
The direction of the weight is vertically down
Let θ be the angle formed with the vertical weight of the block and the incline.
Taking two components of weight one along the vertical weight and another component perpendicular to it.
Then the component `of weight long the parallel of the plane is
Wₓ = W cosθ
1) How are particles in motion and temperature related?
Temperature is the measure of heat. The kinetic energy of particles in motion is determined by the temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the kinetic energy of the particles (basically, the hotter it is the faster the particles move).
2) How does a thermometer work?
A thermometer measures the average kinetic energy of the particles around the thermometer. As seen in 1), the kinetic energy defines the temperature, so measuring the energy of the particles can show you the temperature of the object.
3) What are temperature scales, list them and give examples.
Temperature scales are pretty much systems with which we compare different temperatures. The three widely used temperature scales today are Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. All three are used in different countries and mainly for different purposes. Fahrenheit is used only in the United States and a few other countries around the world, while Celsius is excepted by nearly the entire rest of the world. Kelvin is used primarily in the scientific setting.
4) Define volume.
Volume is pretty much the amount of three-dimensional space an object or substance takes up. For example, a liter is a unit of measurement of volume. A two-liter bottle of soda means it contains the amount of soda that fills up 2-liters worth of three-dimensional space.
I hope this helped.
Answer:
You should have noticed that the number of atoms in the reactants is the same as the number of atoms in the product. The number of atoms is conserved during the reaction. However, you will also see that the number of molecules in the reactants and products are not the same.
