Answer:

The Sun's energy gets to the Earth through radiation, which you can prove just by standing outside and letting the sun's rays warm your face on a sunny day. Every object around you is continually radiating unless its temperature is at absolute zero, at which point its molecules completely stop moving.

Hope that helps :)

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

 the statement of FALSE

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

Voltage, V = 0.0524 volts

Explanation:

Thickness of the membrane, d=7.95\ nm=7.95\times 10^{-9}\ m

Electric field strength, E=6.6\ MV/m=6.6\times 10^6\ V/m

We need to find the voltage across it. The relationship between the voltage, electric field and the distance is given by :

V=E\times d

V=6.6\times 10^6\ V/m\times 7.95\times 10^{-9}

V = 0.0524 volts

So, the voltage across the thick membrane is 0.0524 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.
