Energy is transmitted only in indivisible discrete quantities. True or False

Physics
1 answer:
alex41 [277]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

From the fact that light is emitted in portion, it does not follow that light ray is discrete in structure.

The way Einstein put it was that if a beer is always sold in pint bottles, that does not mean that beer contain of indivisible pint bottles. Yet experiments in which light  knocked electrons out of materials insistently made the point that light is absorbed only in the form of discrete portions. An emitted portion or quantum of light energy retains it's individuality in subsequent events as well.

This concept was first stated by Einstein in 1905. From the heuristic point of view that he developed light is always made up of discrete portions possessing energy and momentum.

(since you asked for basic understanding only, I am not including actual calculations. Please let me know in the comments section if you wish to verify your solution(s))

For (b): Use the formula for distance (s) made during an accelerated motion:

s = \frac{1}{2}at^2+ v_0t+s_0= \frac{1}{2}at^2= \frac{1}{2}gt^2

with v_0 and s_0 being the initial velocity and distance, both 0 in this case, and with "a" denoting the acceleration, in this case  solely due to gravitational acceleration so: "g."

You are given the distance made, namely 10 m, and the duration t (0.88s) and so using the formula above you can solve for g.

For (c), to determine the final velocity at time 0.88s use the formula for the instantaneous velocity of an accelerated motion

(velocity at time t) = (acceleration) x (time)  

again, with acceleration due to gravity, i.e., a = g and with g as determined under (b).  

If my calculation is correct, this mystery planet could be the Jupiter.

What happens when sodium undergoes a chemical reaction with chlorine?
ozzi
They combine as atoms, and separate as ions. When sodium and chlorine atoms come together to form sodium chloride (NaCl), they transfer an electron. The sodium (Na) atom transfers one electron to the chlorine (Cl) atom, so that they both have full outer shells. ... When this happens, the atom is called a positive ion.
