The position of the sun must be at the horizon in order for the rainbow to appear.
The relative positions of the sun and plane make the rainbow appear as a full circle.
However, if the sun is at the horizon, the shadow of the plane will be behind the plane, not below it; this means that the shadow of the plane will not fall on the earth.

Calculate the Energy (E) in joules for that wavelength and record it in the table below. Remember that E = HF, where h the Planc
Viefleur [7K]

In that formula for Energy, 'F' is the frequency of the photon.
But <u>Frequency = (speed)/(wavelength)</u>, so we can write the
Energy formula as
                                 E = h c / (wavelength) .

So the energy, in joules, of a photon with that wavelength, is . . .

                                 E = (6.6 x 10⁻³⁴) x (3 x10⁸) / (that wavelength)

                                    = <em>(1.989 x 10⁻²⁵) / (that wavelength, in meters) .</em>

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves based on their frequency and wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the visible light part. Visible light is perceived as a different color by the human eye, depending on the wavelength of the light. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380 - 450 nm

Blue: 450 - 495 nm

Green: 495 - 570 nm

Yellow: 570 nm - 590 nm

Orange: 590 nm - 620 nm

Red: 620 nm - 750 nm

What came first the chicken or the egg.
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Eggs, generally speaking, existed before chickens did. The oldest fossils of dinosaur eggs and embryos are about 190 million years old. Archaeopteryx fossils, which are the oldest generally accepted as birds, are around 150 million years old, which means that birds in general came after eggs in general.

Hope this helped and have a good day

pshichka [43]

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 100m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 120 m horizontally away from and below the point of release.

What is the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground ?

The parameters given are:

Height H = 100m

Since the ball is thrown from a top of a building, initial velocity U = 0

Let g = 9.8m/s^2

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 + 2gH

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

V^2 = 2 × 9.8 × 100

V^2 = 200 × 9.8

V^2 = 1960

V = 44.27 m/s

Therefore, the magnitude of its velocity just before it strikes the ground is 44.3 m/s approximately
