Physics
2 answers:
leonid [27]3 years ago

Answer:

b. only within the moon’s umbra.    

Explanation:

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon blocks the sunlight falling on the Earth. It occurs at the bright side of the Earth when Earth passes through the umbra of the moon.

When sun, moon and Earth align in a straight line, the disk of the moon is able to block the disk of the sun causing the sunlight to get blocked. Shadow of moon falls on the Earth. A total eclipse occurs when the sun is complete blocked and there is total darkness. It is visible from those areas which pass through the moon's umbra.

Hey! Hope that this helps. I'm fairly certain the answer is B, because I know that it's not visible from all over the earth, so that eliminates A, but doing some research I found out that an observer in the umbra experiences a total eclipse.

What is the significance of the nose end marking on a rocket or missile?
Gemiola [76]
If you're referring to the different colors that usually occur at the tip of missles, rockets and some other aircraft, it either a) signifies the end of a particular plate of metal, fabricated specifically to be for the nose. Sometimes these can even be a different alloy or metal all together. or b) this shows where the curved surface begins, so in the case of damage or imperfections due to wear, they can be repaired and measured more easily. The shape of the nose is extremely important for smooth flight, and a dent or bump formed on it can make the aircraft unstable. If you can measure from where the curve starts by the difference in color, it makes repairing or re-fabricating the part much easier. Many of these curves aren't as simple as they appear.

Researcher measures the thickness of a layer of benzene (n = 1.50) floating on water by shining monochromatic light onto the fil
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Minimum thickness; t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength of light;λ = 585 nm = 585 x 10^(-9)m

Refractive index of benzene;n = 1.5

Now, let's calculate the wavelength of the film;

Wavelength of film;λ_film = Wavelength of light/Refractive index of benzene

Thus; λ_film = 585 x 10^(-9)/1.5

λ_film = 39 x 10^(-8) m

Now, to find the thickness, we'll use the formula;

2t = ½m(λ_film)

Where;

t is the thickness of the film

m is an integer which we will take as 1

Thus;

2t = ½ x 1 x 39 x 10^(-8)

2t = 19.5 x 10^(-8)

Divide both sides by 2 to give;

t = 9.75 x 10^(-8) m
