Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, f = 9.38×10¹⁴ Hz

speed of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, equals speed of light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

wavelength of the absorbed ultraviolet (UV) radiation, λ = ?

Apply wave equation for speed, frequency and wavelength;

v = fλ

λ = v / f

λ = (3 x 10⁸) / (9.38×10¹⁴)

λ = 3.1983 x 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 319.83 x  10⁻⁹ m

λ = 319.83 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the radiation absorbed by ozone is 319.83 nm

Answer the following. (a) What is the surface temperature of Betelgeuse, a red giant star in the constellation of Orion, which r
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

(a) T = 2987.6 k

(b) T = 19986.2 k

Explanation:

The temperature of a star in terms of peak wavelength can be given by Wein's Displacement Law, which is as follows:

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{\lambda_{max}}

where,

T = Radiated surface temperature

\lambda_{max} = peak wavelength

(a)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 970 nm = 9.7 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{9.7\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 2987.6 k</u>

(b)

here,

\lambda_{max} = 145 nm = 1.45 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

T = \frac{0.2898\ x\ 10^{-2}\ m.k}{1.45\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m}

<u>T = 19986.2 k</u>

A python can detect thermal radiation from objects that differ in temperature from their environment as long as the received int
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

10.52 m

Explanation:

The power radiated by a body is given by

P = σεAT⁴ where ε = emissivity = 0.97, T = temperature = 30 C + 273 = 303 K, A = surface area of human body = 1.8 m², σ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁴ W/m²K⁴

P = σεAT⁴ = 5.67 × 10⁻⁸ W/m²K⁴ ×  0.97 × 1.8 m² × (303)⁴ = 834.45 W

This is the power radiated by the human body.

The intensity I = P/A where A = 4πr² where r = distance from human body.

I = P/4πr²

r = (√P/πI)/2

If the python is able to detect an intensity of 0.60 W/m², with a power of 834.45 W emitted by the human body, the maximum distance r, is thus

r = (√P/πI)/2 = (√834.45/0.60π)/2 = 21.04/2 = 10.52 m

So, the maximum distance at which a python could detect your presence is 10.52 m.

Explain why a battery causes charge to flow spontaneously when the battery is inserted in a circuit
deff fn [24]
Batteries supply electrons to the circuit by releasing negatively charged atoms or ions. These ions are produced by the batteries through a chemical reaction that spontaneously occurs within the battery. So the negative end of the battery pushes the ions towards the positive end of the circuit with the help of the voltage. This is why eventually, batteries "run out" when the electrode is used up and the chemical reaction can no longer continue.
