As altitude increases, temperature increases.
The stratosphere is the part of the atmosphere that starts in the tropopause and ends in the estratopause. In the troposphere, the air is close to the Earth surface. The air surface can absorb more sunlight energy than the air, so the Earth surface heats the air. As you go higher, the distance to the Earth surface is higher, so the temperature is lower. The troposphere ends in the tropopause, where this trend changes. In the estratopause, there is a lot of ozone, which absorbs the dangerous UV radiation and converts into heat. That heat warms the air. So the air which is close to the estratopause is warm because of the heat released by the ozone reactions. The tropopause is far from the Earth surface and far from the ozone layer, that’s why it is cold. So the tropopause is cold and the estratopause is warm, which means: the air becomes warmer <span>as you rise above the tropopause until you get to the estratopause.</span>
Here’s my work to your question. I used Newton’s Second Law and a kinematics equation to arrive at the answer.
This question is incomplete; here is the complete question:
Marco is conducting an experiment. He knows the wave that he is working with has a wavelength of 32.4 cm. If he measures the frequency as 3 hertz, which statement about the wave is accurate?
A. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 3 seconds.
B. The wave has traveled 32.4 cm in 9 seconds.
C. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 3 seconds.
D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.
The answer to this question is D. The wave has traveled 97.2 cm in 1 second.
Explanation:
The frequency of a wave, which is in this case 3 hertz, represents the number of waves that go through a point during 1 second. According to this, if the frequency of the wave is 3 hertz this means in 1 second there were 3 waves. Moreover, if you multiply the wavelength (32.4cm) by the frequency (3) you will know the distance the wave traveled in 1 second: 32.4 x 3 = 97.2 cm. This makes option D the correct one as the distance in 1 second was 97.2 cm.
