3 0

Answer: Electromagnetic waves (Ultraviolet light, between 100 nm and 380 nm)

Explanation:

Solar cells work by the photoelectric effect, which consists of the emission of electrons (electric current) when light (electromagnetic waves) falls on a metal surface under certain conditions.  

In this sense, the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum this cells use is Ultraviolet light (UV) from the Sun, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm.

It is important to note, this is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

ollegr [7]
The result that should be established is in the form
y = f(x) 
where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,
y =  height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.

Clearly,
x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.
y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.

Answer:
The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.
The dependent variable is the growth.

In what sense is energy from coal actually solar energy
Jobisdone [24]

Explanation:

The energy stored in coal is directly form the sun which is solar energy. This energy are preserved in carbon atoms and they originate from the life processes of a plant.

  • Plants carry out photosynthesis and produce their energy by this process.
  • Green plants have special adapted structures by which they trap solar energy from the sun and use it to produce their own food.
  • The food is used by plant for nutrition and life activities.
  • In essence the solar energy is converted to chemical energy in plants.
  • To form coal, when plants are rapidly buried their organic matter is preserved from decay by combination with oxygen.
  • More burial preserves the complex molecules that have stored during photosynthesis.
  • The carbon eventually aggregates for coal.
