As air temperature approaches the dew point, what happens to the relative humidity?

AleksAgata [21]

<span>Relative Humidity is a percentage based on how much moisture is in the air versus how much moisture the air can hold. The dewpoint is the temperature that the atmosphere must reach for a parcel of air to become fully saturated. That being said, if the temperature outside is 30 degrees (F or C doesn't matter), and the dewpoint goes from 10 to 20, then the relative humidity has increased, meaning there is more moisture present in the atmosphere.
The easiest way to look at pressure is by looking at the number of air molecules that are in a closed container. Gas molecules expand as they warm, so warming up a container of air means that these molecule will attempt to expand, thus increasing the pressure. Take for instance a soda bottle filled with air, if you heat a soda bottle, then the gases inside will attempt to expand (raising the pressure) and eventually the bottle will explode, but if you stick the same soda bottle in dry ice, the soda bottle will contract, due to decreased pressure. </span> Source(s): <span> Military Meteorologist

Unpolarized light with intensity 370 W/m2 passes first through a polarizing filter with its axis vertical, then through a second

vampirchik [111]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts given by Malus regarding the Intensity of light.

From the law of Malus intensity can be defined as

$I' = \frac{I_0}{2} cos^2 \theta$

Where

$\theta =$ Angle From vertical of the axis of the polarizing filter

$I_0 =$ Intensity of the unpolarized light

The expression for the intensity of the light after passing through the first filter is given by

$I = \frac{I_0}{2}$

Replacing we have that

$I = \frac{370}{2}$

$I = 185W/m^2$

Re-arrange the equation,

$I'= \frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta$

Re-arrange to find \theta

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2I'}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{2*138}{370}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\sqrt{\frac{2*138}{370}})$

$\theta = 0.5282rad$

$\theta = 30.27\°$

The value of the angle from vertical of the axis of the second polarizing filter is equal to 30.2°

Examine the lightbulbs in the circuit below. Write a sentence explaining what would happen if lightbulb A burned out. Repeat thi

tatiyna

If the lightbulb A in the circuit shown in the image burned out, the path for the current to flow is disrupted because one of its terminals is connected direct to the source. So, there will be no current through the lightbulbs B, C, and D, and they will turn off. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb D burned out.

If the lightbulb B burned out the current will continue circulating through the lightbulbs A, C, and D, because lightbulb B is connected in parallel. Similarly it will happen, if the lightbulb C burned out.
