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

1 answer:

3 0

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. )

A. A light wave moves through glass (n=1.5) at an angle of 25°. What angle will it have when it moves from the glass into air (n

torisob [31]

PART A)

By Snell's law we know that

$n_1sin i = n_2 sin r$

here we know that

$n_1 = 1.5$

$i = 25 degree$

$n_2 = 1$

now from above equation we have

$1.5 sin25 = 1 sin r$

$r = 39.3 degree$

so it will refract by angle 39.3 degree

PART B)

Here as we can see that image formed on the other side of lens

So it is a real and inverted image

Also we can see that size of image is lesser than the size of object here

Here we can use concave mirror to form same type of real and inverted image

PART C)

As per the mirror formula we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{20}$

$d_i = 30 cm$

so image will form at 30 cm from mirror

it is virtual image and smaller in size

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Explanation:

As we know that magnitude of two vectors is given as

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{A^2 + B^2 + 2AB cos\theta}$

here we know that

A = magnitude of vector A

B = magnitude of vector B

$\theta$ = angle between two vectors

so here we know that

A = 30 units

B = 40 units

angle = 90 degree

so we have

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2 + 2(30)(40)cos90}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = \sqrt{30^2 + 40^2}$

$|\vec A + \vec B| = 50 units$

Suppose that Hubble's constant were H0 = 51 km/s/Mly (which is not its actual value). What would the approximate age of the univ

bija089 [108]

Given the Hubble's constant, the approximate age of the universe is 5.88 × 10⁹ Years.

Given the data in the question;

Hubble's constant; $H_0 = 51km/s/Mly$

Age of the universe; $t = \ ?$

We know that, the reciprocal of the Hubble's constant ( $H_0$ ) gives an estimate of the age of the universe ( $t$ ). It is expressed as:

$Age\ of\ Universe; t = \frac{1}{H_0}$

Now,

Hubble's constant; $H_0 = 51km/s/Mly$

We know that;

$1\ light\ years = 9.46*10^{15}m$

$1\ Million\ light\ years = [9.46 * 10^{15}m] * 10^6 = 9.46 * 10^{21}m$

Therefore;

$H_0 = 51\frac{km}{\frac{s}{Mly} } = 51000\frac{m}{s\ *\ Mly} \\\\H_0 = 51000\frac{m}{s\ *\ (9.46*10^{21}m)} \\\\H_0 = 5.39 *10^{-18}s^{-1}\\$

Now, we input this Hubble's constant value into our equation;

$Age\ of\ Universe; t = \frac{1}{H_0}\\\\t = \frac{1}{ 5.39 *10^{-18}s^{-1}} \\\\t = 1.855 * 10^{17}s\\\\We\ convert\ to\ years\\\\t = \frac{ 1.855 * 10^{17}}{60*60*24*365}yrs \\\\t = \frac{ 1.855 * 10^{17}}{31536000}yrs\\\\t = 5.88 *10^9 years$

Therefore, given the Hubble's constant, the approximate age of the universe is 5.88 × 10⁹ Years.

4. The electric force between electric charges is much larger than the

Illusion [34]

The electric force is small in comparison because charges are VERY small but the

gravitational force has to do with the mass of the Earth and Moon.
