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.

a bucket of water of mass 20kg is pulled at a constant velocity up to a platform 40 meters above the ground. this takes 10 minut
erma4kov [3.2K]
<span>Taking into account the information above, we know the average mass of the bucket of water may be m=20-5/2=17.5kg. As the bucket of water is pulled at a "constant velocity" the work required to raise the bucket to the platform transformed into the potential energy of the bucket of water. That is why it should be W=mgh=17.5*9.8*40=6860J</span>
