Answer:

Rotate a piece of polaroid film about an axis perpendicular to the ray while looking through it in that sky direction.

Explanation:

Polarization involves constraining a transverse wave e.g light waves to vibrate in one phase only. Since unpolarized light vibrates in all direction during propagation. Polarization can be achieved by a polaroid.

A polaroid is a material the make transverse waves to vibrate in one direction after passing through it. It has various applications in sun glasses, wind shield of a car etc.

If the slit of the polaroid is perpendicular to the polarized light from a particular direction in the sky, there would be no propagation of the light. But when it is parallel to the polarized light from the direction, the light would propagate through the polaroid.

A 1-hectare field contains 2500 bean plants having a total leaf surface area of 557 m2. ambient temperature is 21°c, winds are
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The field losses a total of 55.814 litres of water in an hour.

Explanation:

As the complete question is not given here, the average rate of water loss is not given here which is found in normal conditions as 1.67 mL/m2.

Now the average rate of water loss per minute is 1.67 mL/m2

So the average rate of water loss per minute for 557 m2 is 1.67*557=930.19 mL

So 930.19 mL of water is lost from the field in 1 minute, for the calculation of water lost in an hour, the value is given as  60*930.19 =55811.4 mL or 55.814 litres.

You might have heard the phrase ‘hot air rises'. Name the process of transferring energy using moving gas or liquid.
Blizzard [7]

Answer: Convection

Explantion: Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection

In what way does ocean water move globally
AnnyKZ [126]
<span>Currents are one way in which water can flow globally. By traveling in these cyclical patterns, the water can move great distances across the planet, from one area of an ocean to another. A second way can be through the general water cycle. Through uptake (evaporation) and precipitation, the water can be dispensed large distances apart, as well.</span>
