Nearly all liquids and solids are nearly opaque to radiation at nearly all wavelengths. why is that

Physics
1 answer:
anastassius [24]3 years ago

As radiation enters a solid or liquid, the light waves are absorbed and reflected by the atoms. the resulting reflection from an atom can be in any direction and is random. you can understand opacity in terms of the scattering of radiation. The more opaque, the more scattering.

(The truth is far more complicated than this, check out Richard Feynmans lectures on "Quantum Electro Dynamics" to learn the reality of it. )

NEED IT ASAP PLEASE 3 examples of how we use physics in our everyday life. Please explain throughly.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

  1. Alarm Clock. The buzzing sound of an alarm clock helps you wake up in the morning as per your schedule. The sound is something that you can’t see, but hear or experience.
  2. Cell Phones Cellphones have become like Oxygen gas in modern social life. Hardly, anyone would have been untouched by the effects of a cell phone. Whether conveying any urgent message or doing incessant gossips, cellphones are everywhere. But do you know how does a cell phone work? It works on the principle of electricity and the electromagnetic spectrum, undulating patterns of electricity and magnetism.
  3. Walking.Now, when you get ready for your office/school, whatever medium of commutation is, you certainly have to walk up to a certain distance. You can easily walk is just because of Physics. While you have a walk in a park or on a tar road, you have a good grip without slipping because of a sort of roughness or resistance between the soles of your shoes and the surface of the road.

Explanation:

physical is related to things perceived through the senses as opposed to the mind; tangible or concrete.

Give reasons for the following:
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a. lower surface area, less resistence

b. more surface area, the load is split so no single tire overstrained

c. more surface area, more resistance against the sand. human steps sink down in the sand.

d. rapid change in air pressure on eardrums lead to somewhat-painful tension

e. air would always find its way in so no pressure difference can be achieved

(would indeed appreciate the brainliest if you appreciate the work)

How does 3rd class lever make our work easier
sineoko [7]
In a third class lever, the effort is located between the load and the fulcrum. If the fulcrum is closer to the load, then less effort is needed to move the load. If the fulcrum is closer to the effort, then the load will move a greater distance. ... These levers are useful for making precise movements.
