Answer:

A. absorption of ultraviolet rays from the Sun

Explanation:

The thermosphere helps protect and regulate Earth's temperature by absorbing much of the UV radiation and X-rays emitted by the Sun. When the Sun is most active, the thermosphere heats up and increases in size, increasing its protective power.

Just like in the oceans, the Earth's atmosphere experiences waves and tides that help move energy within it. The winds and the general circulation of the thermosphere are strong drivers of these tides and waves.

Place the items in order from the largest wavelength to the shortest wavelength.
Butoxors [25]

From largest to shortest wavelength:

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Red visible, Orange visible, Yellow visible, Green visible, Blue visible, Violet visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum, and in a vacuum they always at the same speed, the speed of light,  equal to:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From slongest to shortest wavelength, they are ranked as follows:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is the only part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to see. Depending on the wavelength of the visible light, we perceive the radiation as a different color. In order from longest to shortest wavelength, colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Therefore, the correct order from largest to shortest wavelength in the given list is:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Red visible

Orange visible

Yellow visible

Green visible

Blue visible

Violet visible

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements in the form of a table, ordered by:

-Their atomic number (number of protons)

-Their configuration of electrons

-Their chemical properties

It was progressively developed over time as the scientific knowledge advanced; for this reason many modifications and corrections might be done in the future.

Its usefulness lies in the fact that it allows the existing elements to be organized in a more structured and coherent way, according to the chemical properties they possess. Dividing the table into rows and columns, which represent the periods and groups or families.

Then, with the location and classification of an element according to its group, we can determine how it acts by knowing its chemical and physical characteristics.

This is how with this configuration can be distinguished 4 sets of chemical elements, according to the ease of their atoms to lose or gain electrons, transforming into ions: metals, semimetals, non-metals and noble gases.

This has helped to predict the existence of various elements that have not yet been discovered, because by elements already located in the table and the periodicity found, <u>there are still empty spaces that indicate the composition of the element that has not yet been found</u>.

In addition, this table helps to simplify in some way the teaching of chemical elements and facilitates their learning, as well as their usage in the development of technological innovations.

In which space, outdoors or in your classroom, would it be easier to hear a musician? Explain
bixtya [17]

Answer:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom than outdoors

Explanation:

It is easier to hear a musician in the classroom due to the improved acoustics provided by the walls of the classroom whereby along with the direct sound of the musician, which is the lead source of the sounds, there is an increased number of indirect sound reaching the ear in the classroom than outdoors and due to precedence effect, all the sound appear to come from the musician

In music played outside, along side the direct sound from the musician, the indirect sound that reach the ear is echoed from maybe by only the ground while the majority of the sound from the music wanders away with the wind and in other directions as well as being absorbed such that speakers will be required to improve the sound of the music outdoors.
