Correct answer: a) True.
In fact, the soil at the poles consists mainly of snow. Snow has an albedo of 90%: albedo is the fraction of light (and so, of energy) that is reflected back to the space. This means that at the poles, about 90% of the light is reflected back to the space, while only 10% is absorbed.
Answer:<em> Option (D) is correct.</em>
Explanation:
Considering the hypothesis elaborated in this comprehension, it's given that areas that tend to lie near forest fires usually have extra positive strikes since smoke carries positively charged particles. In rudimentary term, this states that occurrence of positively charged particles will result in extra positive strikes.
Option (D) states that occurrence of extra positive strikes will be there even weeks after the charge of smoke particles have been dissociated.
Therefore this option, most seriously undermines the hypothesis.
Answer:
0.03 m
Explanation:
Mirrors work on the principle of reflection.
Reflection occurs when a ray of light hits a surface and bounces back into the origina medium at a different angle.
We can solve this problem by using the magnification equation:
where
y' is the size of the image
y is the size of the object
q is the distance of the image from the mirror
p is the distance of the object from the mirror
Here we have:
y = 0.10 m is the height of the object
p = 0.20 m is the distance of the object from the mirror
q = -0.06 m is the distance of the image from the mirror (negative because it appears behind the mirror, so it is a virtual image)
Solving for y', we find the size of the image:
And the positive sign indicates that the image is upright.
