What produces the distinctive flame color of different substances when they are ignited?

Physics

shepuryov [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Electrons in different metals

Explanation:

When you heat an atom, some of its electrons are "excited* to higher energy levels. When an electron drops from one level to a lower energy level, it emits a quantum of energy.  The different mix of energy differences for each atom produces different colours. Each metal gives a characteristic flame emission spectrum.

(a) If the cornea were simply thin lens then power will be 43 diopters.

(b) This is a concave lens

The cornea is the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris, pupil, and anterior chamber. Despite injury or disease, the cornea can still repair itself quickly. However, there are situations where damage is too severe for the cornea to heal on its own – such as with a deep injury to the cornea. The following symptoms may indicate that the cornea has sustained a substantial infection, injury or disease: Blurred vision Pain Redness.

Along with the anterior chamber and lens, the cornea refracts light, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the eye's total optical power. In humans, the refractive power of the cornea is approximately 43 diopters.

There are two types of lenses: converging and diverging and here if the cornea was simply thin then the diverging or concave lens is used in the eyes which is thin in the center than their edges.

What type of circuit is illustrated?
Elis [28]
A. Parallel circuit

Short circuits are circuits that is like plugging in a USB into your computer and the other end to your iPhone, so it's not D.

Series circuits can come in all kinds of different shapes, so it's not C.

Open circuits are circuits that are opened, meaning that whenever you turn on the light and it's an open circuit, it won't work cause the two wires are not connected, meaning it's not D.

Parallel circuits are circuits that are in one straight line, just like parallel lines, meaning the answer would be A. (Look at the picture and don't get confused with the other question that's the same question and has the same answers, they both have different pictures, so look at the pictures they give you whenever they ask the question so your getting the right answer)

Hope this helped.

Will an electromagnet be obtained if steel is placed inside the solenoid?​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:A solenoid is a simple electromagnetic device consisting of a coiled electric wire, wrapped in a 3D circular pattern. When electric current is passed through the wire, the solenoid acts like a magnet with N and S poles at the ends of the coil.

When a ferromagnetic material rod is permanently placed inside the solenoid, the metal greatly increases the magnetic effect and becomes a permanent electromagnet. Moreover, it can also be used as an electrical switch by drawing in or pushing out a ferromagnetic material like an iron rod. Depending on the directions of the rod and the electrical current the switching action takes place.

Given figure  represents the solenoid as electromagnet and the switching action.
