<h2>Answer: Ultraviolet Light </h2>

Ultraviolet light, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

This light is used for many purposes, among which is the identification of fluerescent minerals.

In this sense, fluorescence is a property that certain materials have in which they absorb energy in the form of short wavelength not visible electromagnetic radiation (the ultraviolet, for example) and then emit some of that energy in the form of longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation (in the visible spectrum). This is also called luminiscence.

Hence, the correct option is a.

Ultraviolet light from a distant star is traveling at 3.0 × 108 m/s. how long will it take for the light to reach earth if it mu
castortr0y [4]

Given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

<h3>What is Speed?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Speed of the Ultraviolet light c = 3.0 × 10⁸m/s = 1.08 × 10⁹km/h
  • Distance it must cover d = 4.0 × 10¹³km
  • Time elapsed t = ?

We substitute our given values into the expression above.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

1.08 × 10⁹km/h = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ t

t = 4.0 × 10¹³km ÷ 1.08 × 10⁹km/h

t = 3.7 × 10⁴ hrs

Therefore, given speed and the distance that must be covered, the time it will take the ultraviolet light to reach the earth is 3.7 × 10⁴ hours.

A(n)is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: The correct answer is "magnetic field".

Explanation:

A magnetic field is produced around the current carrying wire.

If you bring compass needle around the current carrying wire then it shows the deflection which indicates that there is a magnetic  field around the current carrying wire.

Magnetic fields are the area around the surrounding of magnet in which magnetic force can be experienced.

Therefore, a magnetic field is produced around a wire when an electrical current is in the wire.

What is the work done if you push a tree with<br> 50 N of force but the tree does not move?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The work done is 0.

Explanation:

The reason no work is done is because the equation W = Fs.

W = work

F= force

s= displacement

In this scenario F = 50 and s= 0

Therefore.

W = 50(0)

W = 0

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?
ki77a [65]
What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.
