Answer:

The correct option is (A).

Explanation:

When the temperature of the hot solid object increases then the radiation which emits from it gets shifted to smaller wavelength or higher frequencies. The hot appears red color.

The total energy emitted of a hot solid object is directly proportional to the fourth power of the temperature of the black body.

For example, when we switch on the light bulb, initially the radiation of the bulb appears dimmer. Then, it will become brighter. Then, it will turn yellow and then it becomes even white.

The color of the light emitted by a hot solid object depends on the temperature of the object.

Therefore, the correct option is (A).

An electron in an atom has an uncertainty of 0.2 nm. If it is doubled to 0.4 nm by what factor does the uncertainty in momentum

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Explanation:

By Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, ΔpΔx ≥ h/2π where Δp = uncertainty in momentum and Δx = uncertainty in position = 0.2 nm. The uncertainty in momentum is thus Δp ≥ h/2πΔx. If the uncertainty in position is doubled, that is Δx₁ = 2Δx = 0.4 nm, the uncertainty in momentum Δp₁ now becomes Δp₁ ≥ h/2πΔx₁ = h/2π(2Δx) = (h/2πΔx)/2 = Δp/2.

So, the uncertainty in momentum changes by a factor of 1/2.

Most reactive non-metals in order?

kompoz [17]

Nonmetals often share or gain electrons. The nonmetals in the periodic table increases as you move to the right and decreases as you go down. This is because, the smaller the atom, the reactive it gets due to less electron attached to the orbits of the atom. The reactivity of nonmetals is arranged in decreasing order. 
Carbon
 Nitrogen
Oxygen
Fluorine
Phosphorus 
Sulfur
Chlorine 
Selenium 
Bromine 
Iodine

When plugging in metric facts, always remember that 1 big unit = # small units. Fill in these facts: 1.________ s= ________μs 2.

balandron [24]

Answer:

1. 1 s = 1 x 10⁶ μs

2. 1 g = 0.001 kg

3. 1 km = 1000 m

4. 1 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

5. 1 mL = 1 x 10⁻³ L

6. 1 g = 100 dg

7. 1 cm = 1 x 10⁻² m

8. 1 ms = 1 x 10⁻³ s

Explanation:

1 x 10⁻⁶ s = 1 μs

(1 x 10⁻⁶ x 10⁶) s = 1 x 10⁶ μs

1 s = 1 x 10⁶ μs

1000 g = 1 kg

1 g = 1/1000 kg

1 g = 0.001 kg

1 km = 1000 m

1 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

1 mL = 1 x 10⁻³ L

1 x 10⁻² g = 1 dg

(1 x 10⁻² x 10²) g = 1 x 10² dg

1 g = 100 dg

1 cm = 1 x 10⁻² m

1 ms = 1 x 10⁻³ s
