What happens when visible light strikes a surface?

Physics

Amiraneli [1.4K]3 years ago

Absorption: 

<span>If the wavelength of the light happens to match the distance between two electron levels in the material, it can be absorbed. Light disappears and its energy becomes part of the heat energy of the material. </span>

<span>Metals have so many free electrons that all wavelengths are absorbed -- they are opaque to xrays, visible light, radio waves, everything. </span>
<span>Pigments have specific electron gaps that absorb only the light of a specific wavelength, which we see as color </span>
<span>Transparent materials do not happen to have any gaps between electron levels that match any of the wavelengths of visible light. </span>

A block of concrete has a mass of 48kg a crane lifts the block to a height of 12m above the ground calculate the gravitational p
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

5760 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of block = 48 kg

Height (h) = 12 m

Gravitational field strength (g) = 10 N/Kg

Gravitational potential energy (PE) =?

The gravitational potential energy stored by the block can simply be obtained as follow:

PE = mgh

PE = 48 × 10 × 12

PE = 5760 J

Therefore, the gravitational potential energy stored by the block is 5760 J

Suppose that a nascar race car is moving to the right with a constant velocity of +86 m/s. What is the average acceleration of t
Stels [109]

(a) As the car is moving with constant velocity, it means the rate change of velocity does not change, therefore the average acceleration of the car is zero.

Thus, there is no acceleration, when velocity is constant.

(b) Average acceleration,

a =\frac{ v-u}{\Delta t}

Here, v is final velocity and u is the initial velocity and \Delta t is the time interval.

As twelve seconds later, the car is halfway around the track and traveling in the opposite direction with the same speed, therefore

a =\frac{ -86 \ m/s-86 \ m/s }{12 \ s} = - 14 .3 \ m/s^2

Thus, the average acceleration of the car is 14 .3 \ m/s^2 in the direction to the left.

An electric motor pumps 200 liter of water to a reservoir of height 6m in 2 s. Take g = 10 m/s?. Calculate the power developed b
lorasvet [3.4K]

The power developed by the electric motor is 6000 Watts

<h3>Definition of power </h3>

Power is defined as the rate at which work is done. Mathematically, it is expressed as

Power = Work / time

But

Work = mass (m) × acceleration due to gravity (g) × height (h)

Work = mgh

Therefore,

Power = mgh / t

With the above formula, we can obtain the power developed by the motor.

<h3>How to determine the power </h3>
  • Mass (m) = 200 Kg
  • Height (h) = 6 m
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²
  • Time (t) = 2 s
  • Power =?

Power = mgh / t

Power = (200 × 10 × 6) / 2

Power = 12000 / 2

Power = 6000 Watts
