<h2>Answer: True </h2>

Each atom emits or absors electromagnetic radiation, but only in some frequencies that are characteristic of its chemical element.

Now, if we supply energy in the form of heat (thermal energy) to a certain element in its gas phase, this will be stimulated and its atoms will emit radiation in certain frequencies of the visible spectrum, which constitute its <u>emission spectrum</u>.

If the same element, also in gaseous state, receives electromagnetic radiation, it absorbs in certain frequencies of the visible spectrum, precisely the same ones in which it emits when it is stimulated by heat. This will be its <u>absorption spectrum</u>.

This means that every element absorbs radiation in the same wavelengths in which it emits it.

Answer:

Momentum after = 2400 kgm/s

Explanation:

Momentum after = momentum before

Momentum after = m1v1 +m2v2

Momentum after = (600)(4) + (400)(0)

Momentum after = 2400 kgm/s

A 50.0-kg box rests on a horizontal surface. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface is 0.300 and the

Dimas [21]

Answer:

98N and 147N

Explanation:

We have the following information:

$m=50kg\\\mu_s =0.4\\\mu_k = 0.2\\F=140N$

We can find the static fricton force as follow,

$F=\mu_s * N$

Where N is the normal force (mg)

$F=0.3*50*9.8\\F=147N$

Static friction force at 147N is greater than the force applied hence body does not move.

$F=\mu_k N = 0.2*50*9.8= 98N$

If the temperature is held constant during this process and the final pressure is 683 torrtorr , what is the volume of the bulb

Anna [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the volume of the unknown bulb = X L

The volume of the system , after opening valve = (X + 0.72 L )

Use Boyles law gas equation,

P1V1 = P2V2 ( at temperature is constant )

Given:

P1 = 1.2 atm

P2 = 683 torr

Converting mmHg to atm,

1 atm = 760 mmHg(torr)

683 mmHg = 683/760

= 0.8987 atm

1.2X = 0.8987*(X + 0.720)

1.2X = 0.8987X + 0.6471

0.3013X = 0.6471

X = 2.15 L

A laser of wavelength 720 nm illuminates a double slit where the separation between the slits is 0.22 mm. Fringes are seen on a

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "2.78 mm".

Explanation:

Given:

$\lambda = 720 \ nm$

or,

$= 720\times 10^{-9} \ m$

$D=0.85 \ m$

$d = 0.22 \ mm$

or,

$=0.22 \times 10^{-3} \ m$

As we know,

Fringe width is:

⇒ $\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

hence,

Separation between second and third bright fringes will be:

⇒ $\theta=\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

$=\frac{720\times 10^{-9}\times 0.85}{0.22\times 10^{-3}}$

$=2.78\times 10^{-3} \ m$

or,

$=2.78 \ mm$

How are light waves used to bring far away objects into view and how does the eye translate them?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

When focused light is projected onto the retina, it stimulates the rods and cones. The retina then sends nerve signals are sent through the back of the eye to the optic nerve. The optic nerve carries these signals to the brain, which interprets them as visual images.
