Why is there less air pressure at higher altitudes?

Physics
1 answer:
olganol [36]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

As ailtitudes rises air pressure drops ...... As altitude increases , the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases - so the air becomes less dense than air nearer to the sea level. So there is less air pressure at high altitudes

What is the most violent star death called
gogolik [260]
Hi there!

The most violent star death is a Supernova. This is the massive explosion of a supergiant star as it's fuel source runs out and it can no longer fuse iron at its core safely. This causes the star to swell to unstable sizes until it explodes in a Supernova. The amount of energy that is output during a supernova is equivalent to all the energy our own Sun outputs in its whole lifetime.

Derek and Wes take a photograph of a lake at the same angle and the same time of day. Derek's picture comes out with crisp edges
iren [92.7K]

Answer: Polarization

Explanation:

Probably what happens here is that Derek took his photograph with a polarizing filter (which is helpful to avoid that glare from the surface of water, for example), and Wes took his without that filter.

It is important to note, this kind of filter works with an optical phenomenon called polarization, which consists in the alignment of light (electromagnetic waves) in only one vibrational orientation.

To understand it better:

Normally, electromagnetic waves are not polarized, and the vibration occurs in all planes. However, if we make these waves to vibrate in a single plane, we have polarized light.

<u>This is only possible because electromagnetic waves are transversal waves</u>, hence the oscillation occurs in the transversal direction to the propagation.

Note this is not possible for longitudinal waves (sound), because the oscillation occurs in the same direction as the propagation.
