Radiation. That's perhaps the only way that energy gets from the Sun to the earth. The space between the two is a vacuum, so conduction is more or less out as is convection. There's no obvious sign of mirrors, so reflection seems to be out as well.

Answer: The correct answer is radiation.

Explanation:

There are three method of transfer of energy: conduction, convection and radiation.

In conduction, there is no actual movement of the particle. There is conduction in the solid. Heat is transferred from hotter end of an object to cold end of the particle.

In convection, there is actual movement of the particle. Both liquid and gases can transfer heat energy by convection.

In radiation, it does not require particles in its transfer of energy. In the given problem, the light from the Sun heats a metal surface. This is an example of radiation.

Therefore, the option is A.

What are the factor that affect the efficiency of a pulley

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Tension in the chains - In a chain drive, technically, you have a closed-chain (which has no end) going around 2 pulley or gears; looking closely you have 2 parallel chains going in opposite direction. If kept in horizontal direction, the one below the other is the slack side and the other the tight side. The tension on the upper or tight side is more than the slack side. So you need to keep in mind to keep your chain drive tight so that there is no loss or rotation or lags.

Sizes of the pulley/gear - The chain will be warped around a pair of pulley or gear. The sizes of these pulley/gear will also determine the efficiency of the chain drive (consider one big and one small)

Number of pulley/gear - If the number of pulley/gear is more and chain wrapped on it with little complexity will result in decrease in efficiency because of extra tension.

Length of the chain drive - You cannot have much too long chain drive. It will make your slack side more heavy because the end are further away. You have to apply more power and possibilities of lag increases decreasing efficiency. In an ideal situation, this won't happen, but this world isn't ideal.

Friction between chains & pulley/gear - If you have studied gears (involving its teeth), you will come to know that there is friction offered on the two meeting surfaces.

Angle of contact - This would have been explained better with a diagram. Although, if you are familiar with the terms you won't have difficulty understanding. Angle of contact is the angle the chain forms with the pulley/gear at the point of contact with the center of the pulley. The angle of contact should not be too small, or else the things will be slippery.

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,

$=2.78 \ mm$

Explain why atoms only emit certain wavelengths of light when they are excited. Check all that apply. Check all that apply. Elec

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electrons are allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. FALSE. The specific lines are obseved because of the energy level transition of an electron in an specific level to another level of energy.

The energies of atoms are not quantized. FALSE. The energies of the atoms are in specific levels.

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during absorption, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. FALSE. During absorption, a specific wavelength of light is absorbed, not emmited.

Electrons are not allowed "in between" quantized energy levels, and, thus, only specific lines are observed. TRUE. Again, you can observe just the transition due the change of energy of an electron in the quantized energy level

When an electron moves from one energy level to another during emission, a specific wavelength of light (with specific energy) is emitted. TRUE. The electron decreases its energy releasing a specific wavelength of light.

The energies of atoms are quantized. TRUE. In fact, the energy of all subatomic, atomic, and molecular particles is quantized.
