Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared

light. decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to visible light. increases the transparency of the atmosphere to visible light. increases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light. Which of the following statements about global warming is NOT true? Computer models indicate that only human contributions to atmospheric carbon dioxide can account for recent global temperature rises Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have risen dramatically over the past hundred years or so. Rises in global mean temperature tend to be closely associated with rises in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. The global mean temperature in the modern era is the highest is has ever been

Answer:

Decrease the transparency of the atmosphere

Explanation:

Different gases have characteristic absorption bands, so-called greenhouse gases have very high bands in the infrared region and small bands in the region of visible light.

   When the radiation  arrives to pass the greenhouse gases (CO²) and affects the earth's surface after several processes, the earth emits radiation in the infrared region, but this is absorbed by the gases, creating a net heating, since that the transparency of the atmosphere is  DECREASE for infrared radiation

Reviewing the correct answers is: Decrease the transparency of the atmosphere

A new planet is discovered beyond Pluto at a mean distance to the sun of 4004 million miles. Using Kepler's third law, determine
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

103239.89 days

Explanation:

Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.

                               a³ / T² = 7.496 × 10⁻⁶  (a.u.³/days²)

where,

a is the distance of the semi-major axis in a.u

T is the orbit time in days

Converting the mean distance of the new planet to astronomical unit (a.u.)

                       1 a.u = 9.296 × 10⁷ miles        

                                      \frac{4004 * 10^{6}}{9.296 * 10^{7}}  =  43.07\ a.u.

Substituting the values into Kepler's third law equation;

                                    \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{T^{2}}  =  7.496 * 10^{-6}  

                                    T^{2} = \frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}} (days)²

                                    T^{2} = \sqrt{\frac{(43.07)^{3}}{7.496 * 10^{-6}}}

                                    T = 103239.89 days

An estimate time T for the new planet to travel around the sun in an orbit is 103239.89 days

Snell's Law: Light traveling through water comes to a glass surface at an angle of incidence of
Lerok [7]

Answer:

1. The best definition of refraction is ____.

a. passing through a boundary

b. bouncing off a boundary

c. changing speed at a boundary

d. changing direction when crossing a boundary

 

Answer: D

Bouncing off a boundary (choice b) is reflection. Refraction involves passing through a boundary (choice a) and changing speed (choice c); however, a light ray can exhibit both of these behaviors without undergoing refraction (for instance, if it approaches the boundary along the normal). Refraction of light must involve a change in direction; the path must be altered at the boundary.
