Why is thermal energy from the Sun transferred to Earth through electromagnetic waves instead of any other type of thermal energ

y transfer?
Electromagnetic waves can carry energy through matter.
Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.
Electromagnetic waves can move through gases faster than other types of energy transfer.

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are defined as the waves that are created due to the vibrations between a magnetic field and an electric field.

Earth atmosphere is made up of several gases and spaces between them. Thermal energy from the sun require to pass through space by electromagnetic radiation. Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space and that is why other type of waves are unable to transfer thermal energy.

Hence, the correct answer is "Electromagnetic waves can travel through empty space".

fomenos

Answer:

Explanation:

There will not be any internal reflection . it will be only refraction

critical angle = θ

Sinθ = 1 / μg

μg = 1.43 / 1.33 =

Sinθ = 1.33 / 1.43

= .93

θ = 68.44

angle of incidence i = 68.44 / 2

= 34.22

Sin i / Sin r = μw = 1.33 / 1.43  

= .93

sin 34.22  / sinθ₁ = .93 , θ₁ is angle of refraction.

sinθ₁ = sin 34.22 / .93

= .5623 / .93

= .6047

θ₁ = 37 degree Ans

In a laboratory experiment, a diffraction grating produces an interference pattern on a screen. If the number of slits in (inclu
Darya [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the number of slits increases, the intensity of fringes increases.

So, the fringes appear to be more bright.

As we know that the fringe width is inversely proportional to the number of slits, so as the number of slits increases, the fringe width decreases, hence the fringes are narrower, bright and close together.

calculate the force required to take away a flat corcular plate of radius 0.01m from the surface of water. the surface tention o
leonid [27]

Answer:

Force = 0.0047175\ N

Explanation:

Given

T = 0.075N/m --- Surface Tension

r = 0.01m --- Radius

Required

Determine the required force

First, we calculate the circumference (C) of the circular plate

C= 2\pi r

C= 2 * \frac{22}{7} * 0.01m

C= \frac{2 * 22 * 0.01}{7}m

C= \frac{0.44}{7}m

C= 0.0629 m

The applied force is then calculated using;

Force = C * T

Force = 0.0629m * 0.075N/m

Force = 0.0047175\ N
