Venus is so hot because it is surrounded by a very thick atmosphere which is about 100 times more massive than our atmosphere here on Earth. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, it heats up the surface of Venus. ... The heat becomes trapped and builds up to extremely high temperatures.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space observatory developed among 20 countries, is being built and operated jointly by NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency, to be the scientific successor of Hubble and Spitzer. The JWST will offer an unprecedented resolution and sensitivity, some of its main objectives is observe the formation of the first galaxies of the universe and study the formation and evolution of galaxies. The JWST will allow to observe wavelengths within the so-called near-infrared astronomy, but also the orange and red visible light. The importance of this spectrum range is due to the fact that the infrared light can penetrate dusty regions and reveal what is inside. It will be launched in March 2021, the dimensions of its main mirror are 20,197 m × 14,162 m (66.26 ft × 46.46 ft). The JWST will orbit the sun 1.5 million kilometers away from the Earth
Answer:
(1) 1×10⁻⁴
Explanation:
From the question,
α = (ΔL/L)/(ΔT)............. Equation 1
Where α = linear expansivity of the metal plate, ΔL/L = Fractional change in Length, ΔT = Rise in temperature.
Given: ΔL/L = 1×10⁻⁴, ΔT = 10°C
Substitute these values into equation 1
α = 1×10⁻⁴/10
α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹ .
β = (ΔA/A)/ΔT................... Equation 2
Where β = Coefficient of Area expansivity, ΔA/A = Fractional change in area.
make ΔA/A the subject of the equation
ΔA/A = β×ΔT.......................... Equation 3
But,
β = 2α.......................... Equation 4
Substitute equation 4 into equation 3
ΔA/A = 2α×ΔT................ Equation 5
Given: ΔT = 5°C, α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹
Substitute into equation 5
ΔA/A = ( 2)×(1×10⁻⁵)×(5)
ΔA/A = 10×10⁻⁵
ΔA/A = 1×10⁻⁴
Hence the right option is (1) 1×10⁻⁴
