What causes different colors to appear in the sky.

Physics

Answer:

The colors of the sunset result from a phenomenon called scattering. Molecules and small particles in the atmosphere change the direction of light rays, causing them to scatter. ... The short-wavelength blue and violet are scattered by molecules in the air much more than other colors of the spectrum.

In the steady state 1.2 ✕ 1018 electrons per second enter bulb 1. There are 6.3 ✕ 1028 mobile electrons per cubic meter in tungs

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

E=12.2V/m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must address the concepts of drift velocity. A drift velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons, in a material due to an electric field.

The equation is given by,

$V=\frac{I}{nAq}$

Where,

V= Drift Velocity

I= Flow of current

n= number of electrons

q = charge of electron

A = cross-section area.

For this problem we know that there is a rate of 1.8*10^{18} electrons per second, that is

$\frac{I}{q} = 1.2*10^{18}$

$A= 1.3*10^{-8}m^2$

$n=6.3*10^{28} e/m^3$

$\omicron{O} = 1.2*10^{-4}(m/s)(N/c)$ Mobility

We can find the drift velocity replacing,

$V = \frac{1.2*10^{18}}{(1.3*10^{-8})(6.3*10^{28})}$

$V= 1.465*10^-3m/s$

The electric field is given by,

$E= \frac{V}{\omicron{O}}$

$E=\frac{1.465*10^-3}{1.2*10^{-4}}$

$E=12.2V/m$

Suppose a person pushes thumbtack that is 1/5 centimeter long into a bulletin board, and the force (in dynes) exerted when the d

mario62 [17]

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

$W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx$

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm

What distance does light travel in water, glass, and diamond during the time that it travels 1.0 m in vacuum? The refractive ind

lidiya [134]

Answer:

refractive index for water,glass,diamond are 0.752m, 0.667m, 0.413m respectively

Explanation:

refractive index (n) = $\frac{velocity of light in air/vacuum}{velocity of light in substance}$

velocity = $\frac{distance}{time}$

The time for travel is kept constant for all mediums.

refractive index (n) = $\frac{\frac{distance in vacuum}{time} }{\frac{distance in medium}{time} }\\ \\=\frac{distance in vacuum}{distance in medium}$

distance in medium = $\frac{distance in vacuum}{refractive index of medium}$

$S_{medium} = \frac{S_{vacuum} }{n_{medium} }$

For water, n= 1.33

$S_{water} = \frac{1 }{1.33}$

$S_{water} = 0.752m$

For glass, n=1.5

$S_{glass}= \frac{1 }{1.5}$

$S_{glass} = 0.667m$

For diamond, n= 2.42

$S_{diamond} = \frac{1 }{2.42}$

$S_{diamond} = 0.413m$

Experiment with the battery voltage set to 15 volts, measure the current in a parallel circuit with 1,2,3, and 4 light bulbs. (I

koban [17]

Answer:

1) current = I

2) Resistance = V/I

3) current = 2I

4) resistance = V/2I

5) current = 3I

6) Resistance = V/3I

7) Current = 4I

8) Resistance = V/4I

Explanation:

When one bulb is connected across the battery then let say the current is given as I

Then resistance is given as

$R = \frac{V}{I}$

When two bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes twice of initial current

so we have

current = 2I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{2I}$

When three bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes three times of initial current

so we have

current = 3I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{3I}$

When four bulbs are in parallel with the battery then

total current becomes four times of initial current

so we have

current = 4I

Resistance of the circuit is now

$R = \frac{V}{4I}$

All of the following involve waves of electromagnetic energy except _______.

r-ruslan [8.4K]

All of the following involve waves of electromagnetic energy except the rumble of thunder during a storm.

Electromagnetic waves are used to transmit long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or energies. They are also responsible for transmiting energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation (IR), visible light (VIS), ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays.

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
