Use the drop-down menus to complete each sentence about the layers of the atmosphere. If the did not exist, Earth might be destr
ozzi

Answer:

If the mesosphere did not exist, Earth might be destroyed by chunks of rock from space.

The stratosphere is located 12 to 50 kilometers from Earth's surface.

Both the trophosphere and mesosphere get colder as altitude increases.

The ozone in the stratosphere protects people from ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

The thermosphere has the highest temperature of any layer in Earth's atmosphere.

Explanation:

Different layers of the atmosphere are;

  • Troposphere

It is the lowest layer of atmosphere that begins at ground level and extends upward to about 10 km. In this layer, all organisms live, weather occurs and most clouds appear. As altitude increases, the temperature decreases i.e., the layer gets colder.

  • Stratosphere

This layer is located at the top of the troposphere  and extends up to about 50 km from Earth's surface. The ozone layer present in this layer absorbs high-energy ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun. Here, the temperature rises with altitude. The passenger jets are usually fly in this layer.

  • Mesosphere

Above the stratosphere, the mesosphere extends upward to about 85 km from Earth's surface. The chunks of rock from space such as meteors burn upon entering the mesosphere and protect the Earth. In this layer, the temperature gets colder as altitude increases and so the coldest temperatures (about -90° C) in Earth's atmosphere are found at the top of this layer.  

  • Thermosphere

This layer is located above the mesosphere and the air here is really very thin. The thermosphere absorbs high-energy X-rays and UV radiation from the Sun and as a result, its temperature increases to hundreds or thousands of degrees i.e., 1,500° C or higher. This layer extends up to 500 to 1,000 km from the ground. Many satellites orbit Earth within this layer.

  • Ionosphere

The ionosphere is actually an extension of the thermosphere and so it is not a distinct layer like the others. It is filled with charged particles produced from the ionization of molecules by high temperatures in the thermosphere caused by the high-energy radiation from the Sun. The phenomenon called auroras (Northern Lights and Southern Lights) occurs in this layer. The different regions of the ionosphere reflecting the radio waves back to Earth and make the long-distance radio communication possible.

As the wavelength of light decreases,<br> What happens
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Waves. Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light. ... The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

Explanation:

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. ... Mechanical and electromagnetic waves with long wavelengths contain less energy than waves with short wavelengths.

A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 28 nC .It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads sh
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge on bead A be q nC  and the charge on bead B be 28nC - qnC

Force F between them

4.8\times10^{-4} = \frac{9\times10^9\times q\times(28-q)\times10^{-18}}{(5\times10^{-2})^2}

=120 x 10⁻⁸ = 9 x q(28 - q ) x 10⁻⁹

133.33 = 28q - q²

q²- 28q +133.33 = 0

It is a quadratic equation , which has two solution

q_A = 21.91 x 10⁻⁹C or q_B = 6.09 x 10⁻⁹ C
