Describe one way in which light acts like a wave and one way in which light acts like a particle.

Physics

Answer:

Quantum mechanics tells us that light can behave simultaneously as a particle or a wave. ... When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. Albert Einstein explained this "photoelectric" effect by proposing that light – thought to only be a wave – is also a stream of particles.

What is the minimum mass needed for a star to be on the main sequence? What happens to stars that do not meet the minimum mass?
Mariana [72]
Main sequence stars are characterised by the source of their energy.They are all undergoing fusion of hydrogen into helium within their cores. The mass of the star is the main element for such process or phenomenon to take place for it is a determinant of both the rate at which they perform the said activity and the amount of fuel available. 

To answer the question, the lower mass limit for a main sequence star is about 0.08. If the mass of a main sequence star is lower than the above-mentioned value, there would be a deficit or insufficiency of gravitational force to generate a standard temperature for hydrogen core fusion to take place and the underdeveloped star would form into a brown dwarf instead.

If i have a kinematic equation vf^2=vi^2-2*a(xf-xi), how can i solve for xi step by step
azamat

Answer:

Explanation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2-2a(x_f-x_i)

Subtract both sides by v_i^2:

- v_i^2+v_f^2 = -2a(x_f-x_i)

Divide both sides by -2*a:

\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a} =x_f-x_i

Add both sides by x_i:

x_i+\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a} =x_f

Subtract both sides by \frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a}:

x_i=x_f-\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a}

Aluminum oxide can be produced during rocket launches. Show that the sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equ
Triss [41]

Answer:

The sum of positive and negative charges in a unit of Al2O3 equals zero.

Aluminium has a charge of +3 while Oxygen has a charge of -2 on each ion.

Al203 has 2 Al atoms and 3 O atoms.

Charge on Al2O3 = 2(charge on Al ion) + 3(charge on O ion)

= 2(3) + 3(-2)

= 6 - 6

= 0

Explanation:

Aluminium has 3 electrons in the outermost shell and has the tendency to lose those 3 electrons to form a positive ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Whereas, Oxygen has 6 electrons in the outermost and has the tendency to accept two more electrons to form a negative ion and have a complete outermost shell.

Because white dwarfs are small, as their name implies, they are hard to see. What is a way astronomers have to find white dwarfs
Bumek [7]

Astronomers find white dwarfs that distinguish them from main sequence stars because white dwarfs get really hot, we can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

<h3>What is a white dwarf?</h3>

A white dwarf is a very hot star that radiated much energy in the form of ultraviolet radiation.

This UV radiation is initially very bright and then these stars become red with time.

In conclusion, Astronomers find white dwarfs they can search for their ultraviolet radiation.

does it require more energy to brew 12 cups with the coffee-maker or reheat 12 cups of coffee in a microwave?
Leni [432]
It would take more energy to reheat 12 cups because only 1 or 2 cups can fit in a microwave rather an than brewing 12 cups in a coffee pot.
