Answer:

B. F/2

Explanation:

The radiation force per unit area (radiation pressure Prad) exerted by an electromagnetic wave on a perfectly absorbing body has been found by experiment to be equal to the energy density of the wave

i.e Prad = u

For a reflecting body, this force exerted per unit area has been found to be twice the energy density of the wave.

i.e Prad = 2u.

Therefore, if the force exerted on a perfectly reflective body is F, then the force exerted on a perfectly absorbing body will be F/2

A light with a second-order bright band forms a diffraction angle of 30. 0°. The diffraction grating has 250. 0 lines per mm. Wh
Luden [163]

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The wavelength of the light will be 1000 nm.

How do you define wavelength?

The distance between two successive troughs or crests is known as the wavelength. The peak of the wave is the highest point, while the trough is the lowest.

The wavelength is also defined as the distance between two locations in a wave that have the same oscillation phase.

Diffraction angle= 30⁰

Diffraction grating per mm= 250

wavelength = ?

Mathematically the equation of bright band is given by

\rm \lambda= \frac{sin\theta}{nN}

\rm \lambda= \frac{sin23^0}{250\times 2}

\rm \lambda= 0.000001 m

\rm \lambda= 1000 nm

Hence the wavelength of the light will be 1000 nm.

To learn more about the wavelength refer to the link;

How does an atom develop a positive charge
Dmitry [639]
<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ A normal atom has the same amount of electrons and protons, making it neutral. An atom develops a positive charge when it loses an electron(s). Once it loses an electron(s), there would now be more protons that electrons.

Short answer: by losing an electron(s)

A car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley as shown below. Both the hill and valley have a radius of
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

As given that the car maintains a constant speed v as it traverses the hill and valley where both the valley and hill have a radius of curvature R.

(i) At point C, the normal force acting on the car is largest because the centripetal force is up. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be greater than the car's weight.

(ii) At point A, the normal force acting on the car is smallest because the centripetal force is down. gravity is down and normal force is up. net force is up so magnitude of normal force must be less than car's weight.

(iii) At point C, the driver will feel heaviest because the driver's apparent weight is the normal force on her body.

(iv) At point A, the driver will feel the lightest.

(v)The car can go that much fast without losing contact with the road at A can be determined as follow:

Fn=0 - lose contact with road

Fg= mv²/r

mg=mv²/r

v=sqrt (gr)
