Answer:

Compared to the absorbed light, the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em>.

Explanation:

The reason to why the light energy that is momentarily absorbed in glass and then re-emitted, compared to the absorbed light, the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em> is because the wavelength of the absorbed light and the re-emitted light is the same. The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave. The wavelength and frequency of the wave are connected via the speed of light:

<em>c = fλ</em>

<em>where</em>

  • <em>c is the speed of light</em>
  • <em>f is the frequency of light </em>
  • <em>λ is the wavelength of the light</em>

Though light does not have mass, it does have energy and it's energy is conserved. Therefore, in the conservation of energy, the energy of the absorbed light must be equal to the re-emitted light. This is why the frequency of the re-emitted light is <em>the same</em> as the frequency of the absorbed light.

If frequency is kept constant, how are the velocity and wavelength of a wave related?
Elan Coil [88]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Velocity and wavelength are directly proportional when frequency is kept constant.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>Frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillations made by a given wave in one second. </u></em>
  • <em><u>Wavelength on the other hand, is the distance between two successful crests or troughs in a transverse wave or two successful rarefactions or compressions in a longitudinal waves.</u></em>
  • <em><u>The speed of a wave is given by the product of the frequency of a wave and the wavelength.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Speed = Frequency × wavelength, </u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore, if frequency is kept constant, then the speed of a wave is directly proportional to the wavelength, such that an increase in wavelength increases the speed of the wave and vice versa.</u></em>

The figure shows a 100-kg block being released from rest from a height of 1.0 m. It then takes it 0.90 s to reach the floor. Wha
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block M= 100 kg

Height = 1.0 m

Time = 0.90 s

Let the mass of the other block is m.

We need to calculate the acceleration of each block

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Put the value into the formula

1.0=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times a\times(0.90)^2

a=\dfrac{2\times1.0}{(0.90)^2}

a=2.46\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the mass of the other block

Using newton's second law

The net force of the block M

Ma=Mg-T

T=Mg-Ma....(I)

The net force of the block m

ma=T-mg

Put the value of T from equation (I)

ma=Mg-Ma-mg

m(a+g)=M(g-a)

m=\dfrac{M(g-a)}{(a+g)}

Put the value into the formula

m=\dfrac{100(9.8-2.46)}{2.46+9.8}

m=59.8\ \approx60\ kg

Hence, The mass of the another block is 60 kg.

What are all stars made of
ivolga24 [154]
Stars are huge celestial bodies made mostly of hydrogen and helium that produce light and heat from the churning nuclear forges inside their cores. Aside from our sun, the dots of light we see in the sky are all light-years from Earth. They are the building blocks of galaxies, of which there are billions in the universe. It’s impossible to know how many stars exist, but astronomers estimate that in our Milky Way galaxy alone, there are about 300 billion.
