A pelican hunts fish in the water. As the pelican flies above the water’s surface, why must it aim for the fish in a slightly di

fferent place than where the fish appears to be located?
A. Light reflects off the fish, except for light of the wavelength the fish absorbs, making the fish hard to see.
B. Water absorbs most of the light, so not much light reaches the pelican’s eyes.
C. Energy from the ocean waves is transferred to the light waves.
D. Light waves are refracted as they travel from air to water.

A 64.0 cm long cord is vibrating in such a manner that it forms a standing wave with two antinodes. (The cord is fixed at both e
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

the wave represents the second harmonic.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the cord, L = 64 cm

The first harmonic of a cord fixed at both ends is given as;

f_o = \frac{V}{2L}

The wavelength of a standing wave with two antinodes is calculated as follows;

L = N---> A -----> N    +   N ----> A -----> N

Where;

N is node

A is antinode

L = N---> A -----> N    +   N ----> A -----> N =  λ/2  + λ/2

L = λ

The harmonic is calculated as;

f = \frac{V}{\lambda} \\\\f = \frac{V}{L} = 2(\frac{V}{2L} ) = 2(f_o) = 2^{nd} \ harmonic

Therefore, the wave represents the second harmonic.

L = λ

To understand the formula for power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature. every ob
lbvjy [14]

As per Stefan - Boltzmann law we know that

1. Power radiated in the form of electromagnetic energy by an object at nonzero temperature.

2. Every object at absolute (kelvin) temperature t will radiate electromagnetic waves.

3. This radiation is typically in the infrared for objects at room temperature, with some visible light emitted for objects heated above 1000 k.

4. The formula governing the rate of energy radiation from a surface is given by p=eσat^4,

where p is the thermal power (also known as the heat current h).

Thermal radiation in visible light can be seen on hot metalwork. Its emission in the infrared is invisible to the human eye. Infrared cameras are capable of capturing this infrared emission.

Thermal radiation is electromagnetic radiation generated by the thermal motion of charged particles in matter. All matter with a temperature greater than absolute zero emits thermal radiation. Particle motion results in charge-acceleration or dipole oscillation which produce electromagnetic radiation.

Examples of thermal radiation include the visible light and infrared light emitted by an incandescent light bulb, the infrared radiation emitted by animals that is detectable with an infrared camera, and the cosmic microwave background radiation. Thermal radiation is different from thermal convection and thermal conduction—a person near a raging bonfire feels radiant heating from the fire, even if the surrounding air is very cold.

Sunlight is part of thermal radiation generated by the hot plasma of the Sun. The Earth also emits thermal radiation, but at a much lower intensity and different spectral distribution. The Earth's absorption of solar radiation, followed by its outgoing thermal radiation, are the two most important processes that determine the temperature and climate of the Earth in most climate models.

So the correct answer which is applicable here will be

This formula applies to any object of total surface area a, kelvin temperature t, and emissivity e
