When humans look at the sky, it appears blue, but the Sun appears yellow. What causes this phenomenon?
1 answer:
Light behaves like a wave, and the different colors we perceive are the result of light hitting our eyes at different <em>wavelengths</em>. The air molecules in our atmosphere scatter this visible light, with a "preference" towards light of shorter wavelengths -- blue and violet light. Light of longer wavelengths (green, yellow, orange, red), doesn't pass through to us as visibly until later in the day, when the sun's light has more atmosphere to pass through before it reaches our eyes. The blue light becomes so scattered by the air molecules in its way at this point that we're finally able to see those yellows and reds coming through on our end.

Answer:
The angular velocity is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of wooden gate is
The length of side is L = 2 m
The mass of the raven is
The initial speed of the raven is
The final speed of the raven is
From the law of conservation of angular momentum we express this question mathematically as
Total initial angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate = The Final angular momentum of both the Raven and the Gate
The initial angular momentum of the Raven is
Note: the length is half because the Raven hit the gate at the mid point
The initial angular momentum of the Gate is zero
Note: This above is the generally formula for angular momentum of square objects
The final angular velocity of the Raven is
The final angular velocity of the Gate is
Substituting this formula
Where is the angular velocity
Substituting value
