Nitella [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct option is (C).

Explanation:

Electric current can be direct or alternating.

The direct current flows only in one direction. It is unidirectional.

The alternating current or an C current reverse its direction periodically.

So, the correct statement regarding the alternating current is (c) i.e. Electrons reverse direction periodically.

A sodium atom will absorb light with a wavelength near 589 nm if the light is within 10 MHz of the resonant frequency. The atomi
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

i)20369 photons

ii) 40 ps

Explanation:

Momentum of one Sodium atom:

P=m*v =600m/s*23amu*\frac{1 kg}{6.02*10^{23}amu}\\P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s

In other to stop it, it must absorb the same momentum in photons:

P=2.29*10^{-23}kgm/s=n_{photons}*\frac{h_{planck}}{\lambda}\\=n*\frac{6.63*10^{-34}}{589*10^{-9}} \\==>n=20369 photons

Now, for the minimun time, we use the speed of light and the wavelength. For the n photons:

t=n*T=n*\frac{\lambda}{c} =20369*\frac{589nm}{3*10^{8}m/s}=4*10^{-11} second=40 ps

Two states of matter are described below. State A: Cannot be compressed and retains its shape State B: Highly compressible Which
telo118 [61]

Answer:

State A = piece of metal; State B = air

Explanation:

For the three main states of matter here's how it breaks down.

Solid - Cannot be compressed and retains its shape

Liquid - Cannot be compressed and does not retain its shape

Gas - Compressible and does not retain its shape.

Knowing this State A has to be solid.  Only one of the options has A as a solid, so that's the answer.   Worth knowing state B is a gas though, only one compressible, just like solid is the only one that retains its shape.
