A major part of the greenhouse effect is that it involves the absorption of the earth's outgoing radiation by atmospheric gases. Along with carbon dioxide, the atmospheric component that is largely responsible for this process is the water vapor.

<span>Water vapor is already the gaseous phase of water.  It evaporates all the way through the atmosphere. Since water vapor is produced from the boiling liquid of water, or from the ice sublimation, all the radiation and other chemicals that produces greenhouse gases which are present in the water will also be carried towards the Earth’s atmosphere during the process of evaporation. This, along with carbon dioxide totally damages the Earth’s ozone layer.</span>

A Hall probe, consisting of a rectangular slab of current-carrying material, is calibrated by placing it in a known magnetic fie
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

(a) 0.345 T

(b) 0.389 T

Solution:

As per the question:

Hall emf, V_{Hall} = 20\ mV = 0.02\ V

Magnetic Field, B = 0.10 T

Hall emf, V'_{Hall} = 69\ mV = 0.069\ V

Now,

Drift velocity, v_{d} = \frac{V_{Hall}}{B}

v_{d} = \frac{0.02}{0.10} = 0.2\ m/s

Now, the expression for the electric field is given by:

E_{Hall} = Bv_{d}sin\theta                            (1)

And

E_{Hall} = V_{Hall}d

Thus eqn (1) becomes

V_{Hall}d = dBv_{d}sin\theta

where

d = distance

B = \frac{V_{Hall}}{v_{d}sin\theta}                      (2)

(a) When \theta = 90^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin90} = 0.345\ T

(b) When \theta = 60^{\circ}

B = \frac{0.069}{0.2\times sin60} = 0.398\ T

Bare free charges do not remain stationary when close together. To illustrate this, calculate the acceleration of two isolated p
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Separation between the protons, r=3.73\ nm=3.73\times 10^{-9}\ m

Charge on protons, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Mass of protons, m=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg

We need to find the acceleration of two isolated protons. It can be calculated by equating electric force between protons and force due to motion as :

ma=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}

a=\dfrac{kq^2}{mr^2}      

a=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times (1.6\times 10^{-19})^2}{1.67\times 10^{-27}\times (3.73\times 10^{-9})^2}      

a=9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of two isolated protons is 9.91\times 10^{15}\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

It is possible to convert radiant energy into electrical energy using photovoltaic cells. Assuming equal efficiency of conversio
Finger [1]

Answer:

Ultraviolet radiation would yield more electrical energy

Explanation:

The reason for the ultraviolet to generate more energy is that there would be getting more electrons per unit of time the photovoltaic cell, due to the higher frequency of the ultraviolet in comparison with the infrared radiation.

The infrared spectrum goes from 300 GHz (10^9 Hertz) to 400 THz or (10^12 Hertz).

The ultraviolet spectrum goes from 800 THz to 30.000 THz or (10^12 Hertz). This kind of radiation is responsible for skin burn from the sun and it´s the “ most usable” part from the sunlight in a photovoltaic cell.
