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.

Several light bulbs, each of resistance 1.5 Ω, are connected in a series across a 120 V source of emf. If the current through th
Leni [432]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

40 light bulbs

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

The total resistance of components or bulbs in series is given as the sum of resistance of all the components.

Thus; if there are bulbs in series each with a resistance of 1.5 Ω, the the total resistance will be; 1.5nΩ

From the ohms law;

V = IR , where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistor.

Thus; R = V/i

         R = 120/2

            = 60 Ω

But, there are n bulbs each with 1.5 Ω; thus there are;

n = 60/1.5

<u>  = 40 Bulbs </u>

An injured monkey sits perched on a tree branch 3.0 m above the ground, while a wildlife veterinarian is kneeling down in the bu
Irina18 [472]

here in the given situation if monkey starts free fall at the same instant when veterinarian shoots towards it then we know that vertical component of motion of monkey and the dart will be same as under gravity

so here the dart will always hit the monkey because they both moves under same acceleration

so here for the angle we can use

tan\theta = \frac{H}{L}

now we have

H = 3 m

L = 87.5 m

now we will have

tan\theta = \frac{3}{87.5}

tan\theta = 0.034

\theta = 1.96 degree

so angle will be 1.96 degree above the ground
