What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter?

Physics

bixtya [17]3 years ago

Electromagnetic radiation is one of the many ways that energy travels through space. The heat from a burning fire, the light from the sun, the X-rays used by your doctor, as well as the energy used to cook food in a microwave are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. While these forms of energy might seem quite different from one another, they are related in that they all exhibit wavelike properties.

Answer:

When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected.

A 2 L balloon filled with gas is warmed from 280 K to 700 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is heated?
irakobra [83]

Answer:

New volume, v2 = 0.8L

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Original Volume = 2L

Original Temperature = 280K

New Temperature = 700K

To find new volume V2, we would use Charles' law.

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

VT = K

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V_{2}= \frac{V1}{T1} * T_{2}

V_{2}= \frac{2}{700} * 280

V_{2}= 0.0029 * 280

V2 = 0.8L

Therefore, the volume of the gas after it is heated is 0.8L.

What is the main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere?
konstantin123 [22]
The main determining factor in defining boundaries between layers of earth's atmosphere would be temperature changes in these layers. Temperature is one essential property that varies in the atmosphere. Based from this variation, the atmosphere is divided into four major layers and further to three smaller layers -  troposphere, tropopause, the stratosphere,  stratopause, the mesosphere, mesopause, and the thermosphere.The troposphere is the layer that is nearest to the surface of the Earth. It is the part where humans, plants and animals survive. Also, it is the warmest layer of the atmosphere. And as we go higher the atmosphere, the temperature would drop making it much cooler.

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.

<h3>What is the average speed of the train?</h3>

Speed is simply referred to as distance traveled per unit time.

Mathematically, Speed = Distance ÷ time.

Given the data in the question;

  • Distance traveled = 221miles
  • Elapsed time = 3 hours and 40 minutes

First we convert miles to meters and Hours minutes to seconds.

221 miles = ( 221 × 1609.344 )m = 355665.024 meters

3 hours and 40 minutes = ( 3×60×60)s + ( 40×60)s

= 10800s + 2400s

= 13200s

Now, determine the average speed.

Speed = Distance ÷ time

Speed = 355665.024m / 13200s

Speed = 26.944m/s

Given the distance traveled and time elapsed, the average speed of the train is approximately 26.944m/s.
