A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.
b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.
c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see grass as green in color.
d) Light of wavelength below 400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.
The energy transfer in terms of work has the equation:
W = mΔ(PV)
To be consistent with units, let's convert them first as follows:
P₁ = 80 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/9 lbf/ft²
P₂ = 20 lbf/in² * (1 ft/12 in)² = 5/36 lbf/ft²
V₁ = 4 ft³/lbm
V₂ = 11 ft³/lbm
W = m(P₂V₂ - P₁V₁)
W = (14.5 lbm)[(5/36 lbf/ft²)(4 ft³/lbm) - (5/9 lbf/ft²)(11 lbm/ft³)]
W = -80.556 ft·lbf
In 1 Btu, there is 779 ft·lbf. Thus, work in Btu is:
W = -80.556 ft·lbf(1 Btu/779 ft·lbf)
<em>W = -0.1034 BTU</em>
Answer:
A symbol and a model are both examples of a representation because they are presented in place of the real thing.
Explanation:
A symbol is a sign, a letter, mark, token, figure, or image used to stand in place of an object, function, or process. For example, co2 is used in Chemistry to represent carbon dioxide. There are many symbols representing other objects or meanings. Mathematically, we can state that "a" equals 40. "a" is a symbol representing the numerical value "40." Similarly, a model is a representation of a structure or a person on a smaller scale. For example, Architects produce models of buildings and other projects that they design.
A mechanical wave moves through all matter
When referring to an isotope, you refer to the mass of its protons and neutrons combined
7 + 8 = 15, so you would refer to it as C. Nitrogen-15
