Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Any transparent surface in practical is neither a perfect absorber of electromagnetic waves neither a perfect reflector. Generally all the transparent surfaces reflect some amount of irradiation and the other parts are absorbed and transmitted.

<u>That is given by as relation:</u>

\alpha+\rho+\tau=1

where:

\alpha= absorptivity which is defined as the ratio of the absorbed radiation to the total irradiation

\rho= reflectivity is defined as the ratio of reflected radiation to the total irradiation

\tau= transmittivity is defined as the ratio of total transmitted radiation to the total irradiation

Why are weight and mass used synonymously on earth?
Lisa [10]
Weight and mass are used synonymously on earth because the value of g is constant on the earth because the weight of a body is the amount of force exerted by the Earths gravity on an object of finite mass. And, the mass of an object gives the amount of matter in the body and is measured in kilograms.

who developed the quantum theory? who is remembered as the father of nuclear science? who developed the theories of relativity?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

1.Albert Einstein is considered as the one who developed the quantum theory. Although Planck gives the idea of quantized energy but Einstein gives the theory that not only the energy the wave or radiation itself is quantized.

2. Earnest Rutherford is considered as the father of nuclear science as he gives the concept of half life and  perform tests of alpha and beta radiations in various elements.

3. Again Albert Einstein was the one who gave the theory of relativity in 1905.

A string is wound around a uniform disc of radius 0.68 m and mass 3.7 kg. The disc is released from rest with the string vertica
Zolol [24]

Answer:

3.962

Explanation:

mass = 1.2

gravity g = 9.81

velocity = ?

mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2(1/2)mv²

= 9.81 x 1.2  = 3/4v²

11.772 x 4 = 3/4v²

47.088 = 3v²

divide through both sides by 3

15.696 = v²

take the square root of both sides

√15.696 = √v²

= 3.6962 = v

the speed is therefore 3.692
