How can light interact with wood

Physics
1 answer:
mr_godi [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Light interacts with wood through it's particle nature.

Explanation:

LIGHT has dual nature properties . It behaves with waves as a wave and with particles as a particle .

Light can interact with matter in three ways: absorption, transmission, and reflection.

  1. ABSORPTION :
  • When a light wave with a identical frequency to an electron’s natural frequency “impinges” upon an atom, <em>the electrons will begin to vibrate</em> as a result .
  • The electrons will absorb the light wave and turn it into a vibrational motion . The electrons, in turn, bump up against neighboring atoms, which<em> changes the vibrations intothermal energy</em> .
  • This <em>thermal energy is not turned back into light energy, thus that particular light wave never leaves the object again. This is ABSORPTION. </em>

    2. REFLECTION :

  • This occurs when the <em>frequency of the incoming light wave </em><em>does not match</em><em> that of the electrons’ natural frequency. </em>
  • If the object is opaque , the electron vibrations are not “passed down” like during absorption.
  • Rather, <em>the surface-level electrons vibrate briefly before emitting that wave back out (as light). This is REFLECTION. </em>

    3. TRANSMISSION :

  • Transmission works along the same lines as reflection, except it involves transparent or semi-transparent objects.
  • The atoms taken in the wave, vibrate briefly (but at a small amplitude) , <em>transfer the vibrations throughout the body </em><em>of the material, and then </em><em>re-emit the wave as light out the other end.</em><em> This is TRANSMISSION.</em>

An airplane accelerates down a runmway at 2.9 m/s/s for 38.5 seconds
Serhud [2]

Given,

the initial velocity = 0 m /s.

acceleration = 3.20 m / s^2

time = 32.8 s

According to laws of motion.

s = ut + 1/2 at ^2

s = 1/2 at²

s=1/2(3.20)(32.8)²

s= 1721.344 m

the distance traveled before takeoff is 1731.3m

zmey [24]
<span>118 C The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is useful in calculating the boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. It is: Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) where Tb = Temperature boiling R = Ideal Gas Constant (8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ) P = Pressure of interest Hvap = Heat of vaporization of the liquid T0, P0 = Temperature and pressure at a known point. The temperatures are absolute temperatures. We know that water boils at 100C at 14.7 psi. Yes, it's ugly to be mixing metric and imperial units like that. But since we're only interested in relative pressure differences, it's safe enough. So P0 = 14.7 P = 14.7 + 12.3 = 27 T0 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 And for water, the heat of vaporization per mole is 40660 J/mol Let's substitute the known values and calculate. Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) Tb = 1/(1/373.15 K - 8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ln(27/14.7)/40660 J/mol) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K ln(1.836734694)/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K 0.607989372/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 5.055103194 1/K /40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 0.000124326 1/K) Tb = 1/(0.002555561 1/K) Tb = 391.3034763 K Tb = 391.3034763 K - 273.15 Tb = 118.1534763 C Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 118 C</span>

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its speed in order move in a circular path
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

An object in uniform circular motion must be changing its velocity in order to move in a circular path.

In fact, remind that velocity is a vector which consists of a magnitude (the speed) and a direction.

When an object is moving in uniform circular motion, the direction of the motion is constantly changing (since the trajectory is a circle): so, this means that the velocity is also changing. However, this does not imply that the speed of the object is changing. In fact, in a uniform circular motion, the speed of the object remains constant.
