Star Twinkle but planet do not why​

Physics
1 answer:
V125BC [204]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:The total variation in the amount of light entering our eye is not dectiable therefore planets do not twinkle.

Explanation:Stars twinkle, while planets (usually) shine steadily. Why? Stars twinkle because … they're so far away from Earth that, even through large telescopes, they appear only as pinpoints. ... Planets shine more steadily because … they're closer to Earth and so appear not as pinpoints, but as tiny disks in our sky.As light from a star races through our atmosphere, it bounces and bumps through the different layers, bending the light before you see it. Since the hot and cold layers of air keep moving, the bending of the light changes too, which causes the star's appearance to wobble or twinkle.

Consider that a ray of light is travelling from glass to water. The refractive index of water is 1.30 (i e n . ., 1.30 w = ) and
Bess [88]

Answer:

\theta_i=49.88^{\circ}

Explanation:

Total internal reflection can happen when light goes from a medium with higher refractive index (in this case, glass) to a medium with lower refractive index (in this case, water).

Snell's Law tells us that n_isin\theta_i=n_rsin\theta_r, where the <em>i</em> stands for incident (in this case, glass) and the <em>r</em> for refracted (in this case, water). We want to know when \theta_r=90^{\circ}, that is, when n_isin\theta_i=n_r, and this happens when the incident angle is:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{n_r}{n_i})

Which for our values means:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{1.3}{1.7})=arcsin(0.76470588235)=49.88^{\circ}

What is the difference between an elastic and inelastic collision
barxatty [35]

Answer:

In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not

Explanation:

Let's define the two types of collision:

- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:

1) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved

Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.

- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:

1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved

2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved

In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.

What is the reaction for P₄ + 5 O₂ --&gt; 2 P₂O₅
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Combination or synthesis

Explanation:

The reaction is a combination or synthesis reaction in which two or more substances combines to give a single product.

In such a reaction there is formation of compounds from the union of their constituent elements.

 The driving force for such reactions is the large and negative heat of formation of the product.

So, this is a combination reaction.
