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

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. )

Julian and Joshua each maintain a constant speed as they run laps around a 400-meter track. In the time it takes Julian to compl
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

the time Joshua travels 1 mile is 12.5 min

Explanation:

Let's start by finding the distance traveled on each lap,

Let's reduce everything to the SI system

    R = 400 m

    d = 1 mile (1609 m / 1 mile) = 1609 m

    L = 2 pi R

    L = 2 pi 400

    L = 2513 m

Let us form a rule of proportions if 2 turns of Julian is 3 turns Joshua, for 1 turn of Joshua how many turns Julian took

    lap Julian = 2/3 turn Joshua

Let's calculate what distance is the same for both of them since they are on the same track

    1 lap = 2513 m

    d. Julian = 2/3 2513 m

    d Julian = 1675 m distance Joshua

Let us form the last rule of three or proportions if 1609 m you travel in 12 min how long it takes to travel 1675 m

    t Julian = 1675/1609 12

    t = 12.5 s

Since this is the distance Joshua travels, this is the time Joshua travels 1 mile

The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements in the form of a table, ordered by:

-Their atomic number (number of protons)

-Their configuration of electrons

-Their chemical properties

It was progressively developed over time as the scientific knowledge advanced; for this reason many modifications and corrections might be done in the future.

Its usefulness lies in the fact that it allows the existing elements to be organized in a more structured and coherent way, according to the chemical properties they possess. Dividing the table into rows and columns, which represent the periods and groups or families.

Then, with the location and classification of an element according to its group, we can determine how it acts by knowing its chemical and physical characteristics.

This is how with this configuration can be distinguished 4 sets of chemical elements, according to the ease of their atoms to lose or gain electrons, transforming into ions: metals, semimetals, non-metals and noble gases.

This has helped to predict the existence of various elements that have not yet been discovered, because by elements already located in the table and the periodicity found, <u>there are still empty spaces that indicate the composition of the element that has not yet been found</u>.

In addition, this table helps to simplify in some way the teaching of chemical elements and facilitates their learning, as well as their usage in the development of technological innovations.

For the sound wave passing through regions of the ocean with varying density, longer wavelengths correspond to greater density of the water.

<h3>What is effect of density of a medium on wavelength of a wave?</h3>

The density of a medium is directly proportional to the wavelength of a wave.

The higher the density of the medium, the longer the wavelength of a wave.

Therefore, for a sound wave passing through regions of the ocean with varying density, longer wavelengths correspond to greater density of the water.
