What happens when visible light strikes a surface?

Physics
1 answer:
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>

If ice has a density of.92g/cm, what is the volume of 1.8 kilograms of ice?
steposvetlana [31]
Given:
Density = .92 g / cm³
Volume = 1.8 kg
            = (1.8 * 1000) grams
            = 1800 grams
Now,
Density (d) = \frac{Mass (m)}{volume(v)}

volume (v)= \frac{mass(m)}{density(d)}

volume (v)= \frac{1800}{.92}

volume (v)= 1956.521739

volume (v)= 1956.5~ cm^{3}

So, the volume of 1.8 kg of ice is 1956.5 cm³

An experimental rocket designed to land upright falls freely from a height of 2.59 102 m, starting at rest. At a height of 86.9
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The acceleration required by the rocket in order to have a zero speed on touchdown is 19.96m/s²

The rocket's motion for analysis sake is divided into two phases.

Phase 1: the free fall motion of the rocket from the height 2.59*102m to a height 86.9m

Phase 2: the motion of the rocket due to the acceleration of the rocket also from the height 86.9m to the point of touchdown y = 0m.

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the rocket is 0m/s when it started falling from rest under free fall. g = 9.8m/s² t1 is the time taken for phase 1 and t2 is the time taken for phase2.

The final velocity under free fall becomes the initial velocity for the accelerated motion of the rocket in phase 2 and the final velocity or speed in phase 2 is equal to zero.

The detailed step by step solution to the problems can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you and I hope this solution is helpful to you. Good luck.
