<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.

Answer:

Conductors.

Explanation:

Conductors allow the flow of electrons i. e. the current and where some of the electrons energy gets converted into heat while some electrons energy converted into light. Conductors are the materials which has the ability to allow heat and electricity to flow through them. Metals such as gold, copper, Silver, Aluminum, Mercury, Steel, Iron and salty water etc are good conductors of heat and electricity.

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy

Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.

A truck traveling at a constant speed of 28 m/s passes a more slowly moving car. The instant the truck passes the car, the car b

choli [55]

Answer:

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

Explanation:

given,

constant speed of truck = 28 m/s

acceleration of car = 1.2 m/s²

passes the truck in 545 m

speed of the car when it just pass the truck = ?

time taken by the truck to travel 545 m

time = $\dfrac{distance}{speed}$

time = $\dfrac{545}{28}$

time =19.46 s

velocity of the car when it crosses the truck

$S = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$545= u\times 19.46 + \dfrac{1}{2} \times 1.2 \times 19.46^2$

u = 16.33 m/s

the velocity of car when it passes the truck is u = 16.33 m/s

What is the main promblem with survey research?

zlopas [31]

Answer:

A major problem in all survey research is that respondents are almost always self-selected. Not everyone who receives a survey is likely to answer it, no matter how many times they are reminded or what incentives are offered.

Explanation:

DISADVANTAGES

Respondents may not feel encouraged to provide accurate, honest answers.

Respondents may not feel comfortable providing answers that present themselves in a unfavorable manner.

Respondents may not be fully aware of their reasons for any given answer because of lack of memory on the subject, or even boredom.

HAVE A GOOD DAY!
