The speed of light to be slightly less in atmosphere then in vacuum because of absorption and re-emission of light by the atmospheric molecules occurred when light travels through a material
<u>Explanation:</u>
When light passes through atmosphere, it interacts or transmits through the transparent molecules in atmosphere. In this process of transmission through atmosphere, the light will be getting absorbed by them and some will get re-emitted or refracted depending upon wavelength.
But in vacuum the absence of any kind of particles will lead to no interaction and no energy loss, thus the speed of the light will be same in vacuum while due to interactions with molecules of atmosphere, there speed will be slightly less compared to in vacuum.
Well a basic explanation is that some elements have enough electrons to be considered stable. These elements do not need to react with other elements to gain more electrons. Reactive elements are no where near stable; they respond with other elements in order to become stable. The more unstable, the harsher the reaction is.
Answer: false.
Explanation:
Doppler effect is caused to the relative motion of the source of light/sound with respect to the observer.
If the source is moving towards you, you will perceive the frequency to be larger (also called a blue shift), while if the wave is moving away, you will perceive the frequency to be smaller (also called a red shift).
Then the statement:
"Doppler effect is caused by sound or light wave being pushed together and spread apart due to motion."
Is false
