What happens as photons of visible light are absorbed by dye molecules?

1 answer:

3 0

Certain electrons in the dye molecule move to a higher energy level, with the difference in energy between the lower and higher energy levels being the same as the energy of the absorbed photons.

Answer: $F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Explanation:

According to Newton's law of universal gravitation:

$F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$

Where:

$F$ is the module of the force exerted between both bodies

$G$ is the universal gravitation constant.

$m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ are the masses of both bodies.

$r$ is the distance between both bodies

In this case we have two situations:

1) Two bags with masses $4M$ and $4M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{1}$ on each other:

$F_{1}=G\frac{(4M)(4M)}{r^2}$ (1)

$F_{1}=G\frac{16M^2}{r^2}$ (2)

$F_{1}=16\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (3)

2) Two bags with masses $2M$ and $6M$ mutually exerting a gravitational attraction $F_{2}$ on each other (assuming the distance between both bags is the same as situation 1):

$F_{2}=G\frac{(2M)(6M)}{r^2}$ (4)

$F_{2}=G\frac{12M^2}{r^2}$ (5)

$F_{2}=12\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (6)

Now, if we isolate $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ from (3):

$\frac{F_{1}}{16}=\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ (7)

Substituting $\frac{GM^2}{r^2}$ found in (7) in (6):

$F_{2}=12(\frac{F_{1}}{16})$ (8)

$F_{2}=\frac{12}{16}F_{1}$ (9)

Simplifying, we finally get the expression for $F_{2}$ in terms of $F_{1}$ :

$F_{2}=\frac{3}{4}F_{1}$

Here is the full question

Suppose there are 10,000 civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy. If the civilizations were randomly distributed throughout the disk of the galaxy, about how far (on average) would it be to the nearest civilization?

(Hint: Start by finding the area of the Milky Way's disk, assuming that it is circular and 100,000 light-years in diameter. Then find the average area per civilization, and use the distance across this area to estimate the distance between civilizations.)

Answer:

1000 light-years (ly)

Explanation:

If we go by the hint; The area of the disk can be expressed as:

$A = \pi (\frac{D}{2})^2$

where D = 100, 000 ly

Let's divide the Area by the number of civilization; if we do that ; we will be able to get 'n' disk that is randomly distributed; so ;

$d= \frac{A}{N} =\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$

The distance between each disk is further calculated by finding the radius of the density which is shown as follows:

$d = \pi r^2 e$

$r^2_e= \frac{d}{\pi}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{d}{\pi} }$

replacing d = $\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}$ in the equation above; we have:

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\pi (\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}{\pi} }$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{D}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = \sqrt{\frac{(\frac{100,000}{2})^2 }{10, 000}}$

$r_e = 500 ly$

The distance (s) between each civilization = $2(r_e)$

= 2 (500 ly)

= 1000 light-years (ly)

A boy throws a ball vertically up. It returns to the

NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.25 m

25m/sec

Explanation:

Given :-

Time = 5sec

V = 0 (in going up)

U = 0 (in comming down)

Find :-

H and U by which it is thrown up

Since the total time is 5 sec ,therefore half time will be taken to go up and another half will be taken to go down .

We know that ,

V = U + gt

0 = U - 10*2.5

U = 25 m/sec

Also,

V² = U² +2gs

0 = 625 - 20s

s = 625/20 = 31.25 m

What are non-clastic?

Non clastic sedimentary rocks from chemical reactions, chiefly in the ocean. Nonclastic and clastic sedimentary rocks are the only members of the rock family that contain fossils as well as indicators of the climate that was present when the rock was formed.
