Why do different atoms or molecules preferentially absorb different wavelengths of light?

Physics
1 answer:
Paladinen [302]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The electrons in an atom can only occupy certain allowed energy levels. ... Only certain energy levels are allowed, so only certain transitions are possible and hence specific wavelengths are emitted when an electron drops to a lower energy level.

How much would you have to eat for your appendix to explode ? I ate so much on thanksgiving and i need to know i’m very scared
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

I don't think your appendix can explode because you ate too much honestly. It's not even possible to eat so much that your appendix explodes, and if you're feeling any pain it definitely isn't because your appendix is about to explode, believe me. Also you could just type it into the internet, that'd be a much faster solution.

A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor that has a very small capacitance. what can we say about
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.

The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)

The capacitance of a series combination is

             1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .

If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is   

             (product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals)  .

In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them  1000  and  1 .
Then the series combination is

           (1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)

        =       (1000) / (1001)

        =         0.999 000 999 . . . 

which is smaller than the smaller individual.

It'll always be that way.   </span>

A polarized light that has an intensity I0 = 60.0 W/m² is incident on three polarizing disks whose planes are parallel and cente
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The transmitted intensity through all polarizers is I_3 =41.31 W/m^2

Explanation:

 According to Malu's law the intensity of a polarized light having an initial intensity I_0 is mathematically represented as

               I = I_0cos^2 \theta

Now  considering the polarizer(The polarizing disk) the equation above becomes

          I = I_0 (cos^2 \theta)^n

Where n is the number of polarizers

       Substituting  60.0W/m^2 for the initial intensity 3 for the n and 20° for the angle of rotation

           I_3 = 60 (cos^220)^3

               =41.31 W/m^2

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance =  990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>
