When a high voltage is applied to a low-pressure gas causing it to glow, it will generate which type of spectrum

Physics

Brrunno [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Line emission.

Explanation:

According to Isaac Newton, he postulated that light consists of little (tiny) particles which typically travels in a straight line and from his experimental investigation he observed that white light comprises of a mixture of colors.

Sir Newton observed that, when light shines on a piece of metal, the metal releases electrons because the energy of the tiny light particles are greater than the binding energy of the electrons residing in the metal. This theory is known as the particle model of light.

A line emission would appear in a spectrum when specific wavelength is being emitted by the source of light.

When a high voltage is applied to a low-pressure gas causing it to glow, it will generate line emission.

For example, if a sample of hydrogen gas at low-pressure undergoes or experiences a high voltage electrical discharge, the isolated hydrogen gas would generate a red light (line emission).

What is the difference in the speed of the generator with a small magnet and a generator with a large magnet?
Delvig [45]
With a small magnet with a generator it will be taken up quickly because how small it is while with a big generator it would take more force for it for the generator to attach because the larger the magnet that heavier it will be because it is attached to the North Pole magnet

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

80Ω

Explanation:

Resistance in a series circuit (when one resistor is after another in the same line) is calculated with the following equation

Total resistance = R1 + R2 + R3...Rn

Substitute in your values and solve for total resistance

Total resistance = 60 + 20 = 80Ω

Which of the following is NOT a geological event caused by the movement of tectonic plates?
photoshop1234 [79]
The answer is A. Mountains form because tectonic plates overlap. Earthquakes form because of the moving of tectonic plates. The moving of tectonic plates causes holes in the crust so magma from the mantle escapes and erupts from volcanoes. I hope I helped!
