How does visible Light travel through outer space?

Physics
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]3 years ago
7 0
By the electromagnetic "vibrations" that make up light. Said EM vibrations are an electric field and a magnetic field at right angles to each other and to the direction of propagation/travel. Light travels by the same "mechanism" that X rays travel, radio waves travel and anything else in the vast electromagnetic spectrum. Probably how I'm able to type these words on a computer key board and have them transmitted "Wi Fi" like, to you, the hapless recipient. You're a Cheetah ??? That means you can run like the wind ????

A certain heat engine does 30.2 kJ of work and dissipates 9.14 kJ of waste heat in a cyclical process.
valina [46]

Answer:

a) H_{in}=39.34 kJ

b) Efficiency=76.77%

Explanation:

a)

In order to solve this problem, we can use the following formula:

H_{in}=H_{out}+W

the problem provides us with all the necessary information so we can directly use the formula:

H_{in}=9.14kJ+30.2kJ

H_{in}=39.34 kJ

b) In order to find the efficiency, we can use the following formula:

Efficiency=\frac{W}{H_{in}}*100\%

so we get:

Efficiency=\frac{30.2kJ}{39.34kJ}*100\%

Efficiency=76.77%

A proton is ejected from the sun at a speed of 2 x 10^6 m/s. How long does it take for this proton to reach earth? Answer in hou
wolverine [178]
The distance from the Sun to the Earth is 149,600,000 km.

d=149 600 000 \ km = 149 600 000 000 \ m = 1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m \\
v=2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s} \\ \\ \\
t=\frac{d}{v} \\ \\
t=\frac{1496 \cdot 10^8 \ m}{2 \cdot 10^6 \ \frac{m}{s}}=748 \cdot 10^2 \ s =\frac{748 \cdot 10^2 }{36 \cdot 10^2} \ h \approx \underline{\underline{20,78 \ h}}

Please help !!!!!!!!!!
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Lighthouse 1 during the day will be warmer, lighthouse 2 during the night will be warmer.

Explanation:

As the paragraph stated land absorbs heat and heats up faster than water. So during the day the lighthouse farthest away from the water will be hotter. But then the converse is true also land losses heat faster than water at night. So the water retains the heat from the day better making the lighthouse by the water warmer at night.

Ber [7]
20km every 1 hr is what 20km/hr means.

so 3hrs is 20km*3=60km.
