An element refers to a collection of atoms having the same number of protons and electrons (an atomic number). In each element there is a different atomic number due to a different amount of protons in the nucleus.
An isotope is a variation of an element that contains a different number of neutrons, therefore adding weight to the atom.
An ion is a charged atom, and its charge shows how many electrons it needs to gain or lose in order to become stable.
Explanation:
When you observe the night sky you will notice that the stars are moving. They rise from eastern horizon and set in the western horizon. It happens due to rotation of Earth. When observed closely you will notice that the all the stars seem to go around the pole star. Out of all the stars there are some stars which neither set not rise, such stars are called as Circumpolar stars. This means that they are always above the horizon. If we trace the path of such stars they will appear to make complete circle around the pole star.
Also, you will notice that the altitude of pole star (separation of pole star from the horizon in degrees) will depend on the location of observe on the Earth. This happens due to Earth being spherical. So if you are on equator the pole star will be on the horizon i.e. 0° altitude. If you are at Poles, altitude of the pole star will be 90°. Technically the altitude of pole star at any place on Earth is equal to the latitude of the place.
If the altitude of pole star varies and increases as you move towards higher latitude on Earth, the distance between horizon and pole star will also increase. This will result in more stars being circumpolar.
If you are at Poles, all the stars will be circumpolar and if you are at equator no star will be circumpolar.
Answer:
Option B.
Explanation:
Assuming the stick is in vertical position, its shadow depends on two factors: its length and the angle between the sun rays and the stick. When the angle is bigger, the lenght of the shadow increases, and vice versa. So, when the sun rays are parallel to the stick, the shadow may be small. Since they are nearly perpendicular to the Earth's surface at 12 o'clock, the shadow of the stick at that time should be minimal. It means that the measured shadow of 75 cm at 12:30 p.m. is almost impossible (Option B).
Answer:
Explanation:
Speed of light is the product of its wavelength and frequency, expressed as
S=fw
Where s represent speed, f is frequency while w is wavelength
Making f the subject of the formula then
f=s/w
Substituting 2.99x10^8 m/s for s and 3.012x10^-12 m for w then
Therefore, the frequency equals to
Answer:
Constructive Interference
Explanation:
Constructive Interference occurs when two waves superimpose and make bigger amplitudes.
In constructive interference, the crests of one wave fall on the crests of second wave and the amplitudes add up. The amplitude of the resultant wave is equal to sum of the amplitude of the individual waves. Similarly, the trough of first wave falls on the trough of other wave and they superimpose to create the trough of the resultant wave.
For Example, In the attachment, two waves A and B superimpose and demonstrate Constructive interference to create the wave C.
