Nobel gases share which characteristics?

2 answers:

8 0

Full outer shell of electrons, they are colorless and odorless ,their melting and boiling points are close together which gives them very narrow liquid range

sattari [20]

Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger optical density. Whi

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

Explanation:

- When a ray of light crosses a boundary between two different materials, it undergoes refraction: the ray changes direction, and it also changes speed, according to the relationship:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where v is the speed of the ray of light in the material, c is the speed of light in a vacuum, n is the index of refraction of the material, which is larger for a medium with larger optical density. So, from the equation, we see that the larger the optical density, the smaller the speed of the wave.

- The frequency of the light does not depend on the properties of the medium, so it remains unchanged: therefore the statement

The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.

is correct.

- Moreover, the wavelength of the ray of light is related to the speed and the frequency by the equation

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

where v is the speed and f the frequency. Since we have seen that v decreases and f remains constant, this means that the wavelength decreases as well, so the statement

The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater optical density.

is also correct.

Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar and Compare the planets Earth and Nep

nordsb [41]

Question no. 1. Compare the planets Mars and Saturn. Describe how their common characteristics are similar:

Answer: Our solar system is located in the outer spiral arm of the milky way galaxy. our solar system has one sun and nine revolving planets and . namely

Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto (small planet usually refer as dwarf)

Each star has its on moon/moons and has its own characteristics i.e , planet must be a celestial body , must have orbit around sun, have enough mass for self gravity, big enough to have gravity that clear its path from other same size object close to its orbit around sun.

Mars is the fourth from the sun and sixth is the Saturn from the sun in our solar system.

<u>Common in Characteristics of Mars and Saturn:</u>

Mars and Saturn both have celestial body.
Mars and Saturn both have enough mass for the gravity to get rid of rigid body forces.
Mars and Saturn both revolve around the sun in their own orbits.
Mars is the second smallest in the solar system while Saturn is second largest in the solar system.
Mars and Saturn both have their own moons. Mars has two while Saturn has 83 moons
Mars and Neptune both do not support life.

Question no. 2. Compare the planets Earth and Neptune. Describe how are they different from each other

Answer:

Earth our home planet is the third from the sun and Neptune on the other hand is the eighth from the sun in the solar system.

<u>Common differences between Earth and Neptune</u>

Earth is the terrestrial planet while Neptune (Ice giant) is the Jovian planet.
Earth has no ring around it, Neptune has ring around it.
Earth is closer to the sun and Neptune is far distant from the sun.
Earth consists of rocks and metals on the other hand Neptune contain gases
Earth is smaller than the Neptune in the solar system.
Earth rotates slower and Neptune rotates faster.

What is gravity?what is one solar day?<br>

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

<h2>Gravity :</h2><h3>the force that attracts a body towards the centre of the earth, or towards any other physical body having mass.</h3>

<h2>Solar day</h2><h3>A solar day is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about its axis so that the Sun appears in the same position in the sky.</h3><h2> or</h2><h3>It is the time between successive meridian transits of the sun at a particular place.</h3>
