Answer:

Geothermal gradient

Explanation:

The thermal gradient is often defined as the rate of increase in temperature with respect to the increase in the subsurface depth. This accounts for more than 50% of the total heat energy of the earth. The geothermal gradient is approximately 25° C/km beneath the earth's surface. This heat results from the decay of the radioactive elements that are at great depths. In addition to this, the latent heat is also produced due to the crystallization of the core. Due to this heat energy, that is transmitted to the upper mantle, the plates are able to move over the layer of the Asthenosphere.

This heat energy obtained from the interior of the earth is known as geothermal energy.

Answer:

tex]2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}[/tex] ultraviolet region

$2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}$ x-ray region

Explanation:

T = Temperature

b = Constant of proportionality = $2.898\times 10^{-3}\ \text{m K}$

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

$T=10^4\ \text{K}$

From Wein's law we have

$\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^4}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}$

The wavelength of the radiation will be $2.898\times 10^{-7}\ \text{m}$ and it is in the ultraviolet region.

$T=10^7\ \text{K}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{2.898\times 10^{-3}}{10^7}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}$

The wavelength of the radiation will be $2.898\times 10^{-10}\ \text{m}$ and it is in the x-ray region.

To what physical quantity do ampere-hours correspond, and what relationship do ampere-hours have to energy content?

navik [9.2K]

Electric charge

Explanation:

The ampere-hour corresponds to the unit of electric charge.

Electric charge = electric current x time

electric current is measured in amperes

time is measured in hours

The ampere-hour is the current transferring one charge in one hour.

The ampere hour can be used to express the energy require to move a current of 1A in a hour.

The quantity is related to electric charge and the energy in a battery.
