Two students are looking at a brightly lit full Moon, illuminated by the reflected light from the Sun. Consider thefollowing dis

cussion between the two students about what the spectrum of moonlight would look like.Student
1: I think that moonlight is just reflected sunlight, so we will see the Sun’s absorption line spectrum.Student
2: I disagree.An absorption spectrum has to come froma hot, dense object. Since the Moon is not a hot, dense object, it can’t give off an aborption line spectrum.Do you agree or disagree with either or both of the students

Answer:

I agree with the student that think that moonlight is just reflected sunlight, so we will see the Sun’s absorption line spectrum.

Explanation:

Absorption spectrums occur when a white light is passed through a gas. Or simply a light from a hot source passes through a cooler gas. The moon itself is a reflection of the sun, so when it reflects the light from the sun, absorption spectrum lined can be seen. Note that it is the hot gases like hydrogen, oxygen etc in or around the sun that cause absorption spectrum.

For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12 mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 78kg adult receive?
kari74 [83]
RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance. To determine the amount needed of a certain adult per day, we simply multiply the mass of the adult to the value of RDA. For this case, we do as follows:

Daily requirement = 12 mg/kg ( 78 kg ) = 936 mg of lysine = 936000 g

If Superman really had x-ray vision at 0.12 nm wavelength and a 4.1 mm pupil diameter, at what maximum altitude could he disting
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m

Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m

Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m

Find:

Maximum altitude to see(L)

Computation:

Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)

D / L = 1.22(λ / d)

0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]

0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 1.47 × 10⁶

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)
