Answer:

Gases and particles in Earth's atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.

object carries a charge of -8.1 ÂµC, while another carries a charge of -2.0 ÂµC. How many electrons must be transferred from the

LenKa [72]

Number of electrons transferred: $1.91\cdot 10^{13}$

Explanation:

The charge on the first object is

$Q_1 = -8.1\mu C$

while the charge on the 2nd object is

$Q_2=-2.0 \mu C$

When they are in contact, the final charge on each object will be

$Q=\frac{Q_1+Q_2}{2}=\frac{-8.1+(-2.0)}{2}=-5.05 \mu C$

So, the amount of charge (electrons) transferred from the 1st object to the 2nd object is

$\Delta Q = Q_1 - Q = -8.1 -(5.05)=-3.05 \mu C = -3.05\cdot 10^{-6}C$

The charge of one electron is

$e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the number of electrons transferred is

$N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{-3.05\cdot 10^{-6}}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=1.91\cdot 10^{13}$

What causes light to bend when it moves from one transparent medium to another?

lapo4ka [179]

Whenever light goes from transparent to another medium or from rarer to denser medium or vice versa, it's speed changes and hence light bends.
