Plasmas are a common part of the world we live in. The definition of plasma allows them to exist within an environment consisting mostly of bound atoms.

A variety of human technology creates plasmas. The type I hear plasma researchers reference most is a simple RF Plasma. This is perhaps the most direct way to use electricity to shake off the electrons from their atoms within a confined volume by using fast oscillating electromagnetic fields.

Nature also creates plasma. An Aurora is certainly included. Many less "exotic" plasma states are much more common. A fire has a low population of the ionized species, but is still a plasma.

See Wikipedia for a list of available plasmas over there..! Or have a look below for the chart which shows variation of temperature and electron density in different plasmas..!

Plasmas

A quick Googling would've provided the answer. Common examples include

Lightning..!

The Sun (from Core to Corona)

Fluorescent Lights and Neon Signs

Nebulae (Luminous Clouds in Space)

The Solar Wind

Primordial Fusion during the evolution of the Universe

Magnetic Confinement Fusion Plasmas

Inertially Confined Fusion Plasmas

Flames as Plasmas

Auroras (Northern & Southern Lights)

Interstellar Space (It's not empty... It's a plasma)

Quasars, Radiogalaxies, and Galaxies (Emit plasma radiation and microwaves)

Large Scale Structures of Galaxies (Filamentary and magnetized..!)

Dense Solid State Matter (When shocked by nuclear explosion or earthquakes which emit both visible light and radio waves)

Plasmas are a lot like gases, they are made up of free electrons and ions of an element such as neon (Ne). You don't find naturally occurring plasmas too often when you walk around. They aren't things that happen regularly on Earth.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer: 10

Explanation:

The detailed solution is contained in the image attached. The molar mass of hydrated and anhydrous salts are obtained and the number of moles of hydrated and hydrated salts are equated. The masses of hydrated and anhydrous salts are gives in the question and are simply substituted accordingly. This can now be used to obtain the number of molecules of water of crystallization as required in the question.

A beam of light has a wavelength of 24.0 μm ( μm = 10 -6m). What is its frequency?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ Hz

Explanation:

Given data:

Wavelength of light = 24.0  μm (2.4 ×10⁻⁵ m)

Frequency = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Speed of light = wavelength × frequency

Speed of light /wavelength = frequency

Frequency = 3×10⁸ m /s /2.4 ×10⁻⁵m

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ s⁻¹

s⁻¹ = Hz

Frequency = 1.25 ×10¹³ Hz

Classify each of the statements below as pertaining to viscosity or osmolarity.
Yuliya22 [10]
Viscosity is related to the parallel shear force acted by the fluid. In lay man's term, viscosity is the ease of how the fluid flows. The faster the flow is, the lower the viscosity (and vice versa). On the other hand, osmolarity pertains to the concentration of a component in a mixture expressed in number of solute particles per liter of the mixture.
