Why are the significantly more thunderstorms in Florida than in California?

The answer to your question is Thunderstorms are a frequent part of Florida life. They occur in all seasons of the year in Florida, but they are more numerous during the warm season when the wind off the sea flows inland during the afternoon. On an annual basis, communities in Florida usually experience thunderstorms 75 to 105 days per year. In fact, Florida leads the United States annually in the number of thunderstorm days. Out of 100,000 thunderstorms that occur within the United States each year, approximately 1 out of every 10 storms can become severe, causing damage or posing a threat to life. The average thunderstorm contains approximately 275 million gallons of water, which is enough water to fill 416 Olympic-sized swimming pools! <span>HOPED I HELPED!</span>

Because Florida is wet and humid, while California is dry and non-humid. Florida also contains lots of lakes which evaporate to create thunderstorms.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Atomic structure contains electrons, protons and neutrons.

Electron is very light compared to proton and neutrons.

Given that the mass of an electron is

A) equal to the mass of a proton

B) less than the mass of a neutron

C) greater than the mass of a proton

D) equal to the mass of a neutron

The correct answer is B which is less than the mass of the neurons.

(a) How many fringes appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The number of fringe is z = 3 fringes

The ratio is $I = 0.2545I_o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The wavelength is $\lambda = 600 nm$

The distance between the slit is $d = 0.117mm = 0.117 *10^{-3} m$

The width of the slit is $a = 35.7 \mu m = 35.7 *10^{-6}m$

let z be the number of fringes that appear between the first diffraction-envelope minima to either side of the central maximum in a double-slit pattern is and this mathematically represented as

$z = \frac{d}{a}$

Substituting values

$z = \frac{0.117*10^{-3}}{35.7 *10^{-6}}$

z = 3 fringes

From the question we are told that the order of the bright fringe is n = 3

Generally the intensity of a pattern is mathematically represented as

$I = I_o cos^2 [\frac{\pi d sin \theta}{\lambda} ][\frac{sin (\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda } )}{\pi a sin \frac{\theta}{\lambda} } ]$

Where $I_o$ is the intensity of the central fringe

And Generally $sin \theta = \frac{n \lambda }{d}$

$I = I_o co^2 [ \frac{\pi (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} ] [\frac{\frac{sin (\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} }{\frac{\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} )}{\lambda} } ]$

$I = I_o cos^2 (n \pi)[\frac{\frac{sin(\pi a (\frac{n \lambda}{d} ))}{\lambda} )}{ \frac{ \pi a (\frac{n \lambda }{d} )}{\lambda} } ]$

$I = I_o cos^2 (3 \pi) [\frac{sin (\frac{3 \pi }{6} )}{\frac{3 \pi}{6} } ]$

$I = I_o (1)(0.2545)$

$I = 0.2545I_o$
