State the reason why wick lamps are made of cotton

Physics
1 answer:
ad-work [718]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>Reason:- We use cotton to make the wick of a spirit lamp because cotton has thread strands which act like fine capillaries and help in drawing up a steady supply of oil in the lamp for burning by capillary action</em>

In a mass spectrometer a particle of mass m and charge q is accelerated through a potential difference V and allowed to enter a
Ghella [55]

Answer:

m = B²qR² / 2 V

Explanation:

If v be the velocity after acceleration under potential difference of V

kinetic energy  = loss of electric potential energy

1/2 m v² = Vq ,

v² = 2 Vq / m ----------------------- ( 1 )

In magnetic field , charged particle comes in circular motion in which magnetic force provides centripetal force

magnetic force = centripetal force

Bqv = mv² / R

v = BqR / m

v² = B²q²R² / m²  ------------------------- (2)

from (1) and (2)

B²q²R² / m²  = 2 Vq / m

m = B²q²R² / 2 Vq

m = B²qR² / 2 V

How do quantum numbers relate to electrons?<br> please explain?
alukav5142 [94]
Quantum numbers<span> allow us to both simplify and dig deeper into electron configurations. Electron configurations allow us to identify energy level, subshell, and the number of electrons in those locations. If you choose to go a bit further, you can also add in x,y, or z subscripts to describe the exact orbital of those subshells (for example </span><span>2<span>px</span></span>). Simply put, electron configurations are more focused on location of electrons then anything else. 
<span>
Quantum numbers allow us to dig deeper into the electron configurations by allowing us to focus on electrons' quantum nature. This includes such properties as principle energy (size) (n), magnitude of angular momentum (shape) (l), orientation in space (m), and the spinning nature of the electron. In terms of connecting quantum numbers back to electron configurations, n is related to the energy level, l is related to the subshell, m is related to the orbital, and s is due to Pauli Exclusion Principle.</span>

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are NOT among the stars that are very close to us. Why then do they look so bright to
Yanka [14]

Answer:

stars will emit more light due to their Luminosity, so they look very bright.

Explanation:

Luminous refers to..,

  • The total amount of energy radiated by a star or other celestial object per second.
  • Therefore it is the power output of a star.

Most of the really bright stars in our sky are not that very close to us yet they look bright because of the Luminosity of the star.

These stars are intrinsically so luminous.

A star's power output across all wavelengths is called its bolometric luminosity.

A star with large luminosity will have more measure of radiated electromagnetic power meaning.

so it will emit more light than a low luminosity star.

Hence,

those stars can easily be seen even across great distance.

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:The human eye is sensitive to yellow-green light having a frequency of about 5.5*10^{14} ... What is the energy in joules of the photons associated with this light? ... As the wavelength and frequency of a wave are related, we can find the energy ... In order to find this value, we need Planck's Constant, h=6.626×10−34 J⋅s h ...

A book is sliding along a desk top. Because the book is in motion ,you know that the forces acting on the book are A. Balanced B
Virty [35]
Just because the book is moving doesn't tell you anything about the forces on it, or even whether there ARE any.

Just look at Newton's first law of motion, and this time, let's try and THINK about it too. It says something to the effect that any object continues in constant, uniform MOTION ..... UNLESS acted on by an external force.
