Explain how ozone in the atmosphere affects visible light on earth

1 answer:

8 0

Ozone gas in the upper atmosphere absorbs most of the ultraviolet radiation of wavelengths shorter than about 0.25 µm. This is actually a positive thing for us and most other living things, because of the harmful nature of ultraviolet radiation below these wavelengths. The ozone layer is a natural layer of gas in the upper atmosphere that protects humans and other living things from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun.

Aristotle said that a moving earthly or `mundane' object with nothing pushing or pulling on it will always A slow down and stop.

Answer:

A slow down and stop

Explanation:

When there is no force acting on something it automatically begins to slow down and then stops.Essentially, Aristotle's perspective of motion is that "it requires a force to move an object in an unnatural" way— or, plainly, that "movement involves strength." Indeed, if you propel a book, it keeps moving. Once you stop trying to push, it comes to a stop.

A wave travels at a constant speed.How does the frequency change if the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3 The frequency dec

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The frequency increases by a factor of 3.

Explanation:

The relation between speed, wavelength and frequency of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$f\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}$

A wave travels at a constant speed. If the wavelength is reduced by a factor of 3, it would mean that the frequency increases by a factor of 3 because there is an inverse relationship between wavelength and frequency.

frozen [14]

To solve this problem we will use the relationship given between the centripetal Force and the Force caused by the weight, with respect to the horizontal and vertical components of the total tension given.

The tension in the vertical plane will be equivalent to the centripetal force therefore

$Tsin\theta= \frac{mv^2}{r}$
