A scientist designs an experiment in which a light source is pointed at a substance and a light detector is placed on the opposi

te side of the substance.
When the light source is turned on, the scientist observes that no light is detected on the far side of the substance. What is the best interpretation for this observation?

A. The light was either reflected or transmitted by the substance.
B. The light was both absorbed and reflected by the substance.
C. The light was both reflected and transmitted by the substance.
D. The light was either absorbed or reflected by the substance.

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

When a light falls on a substance, it can reflect, absorb or transmitted by it. It is possible that a combination of above phenomenon occurs.

In the given situation, as no light is detected by the light detector, it means that no light is transmitted by the substance. The light must be either absorbed or bounced back (reflected).

Thus, option D is correct.

The answer is D. Either absorbed or reflected. The reason is because if no light is being shown on the other side, the substance is not letting any light pass through. Since we do not know anything else about the substance, we do not know which one of the two it is doing. The scientist would not see any light on the detector if 100% of the light is reflected and the same thing would happen if 100% of the light was absorbed.

The shorter the wavelength of a photon, the greater its energy. We can see photons with wavelengths between 700 nanometers (red)
sveticcg [70]

Answer: from 0.66 eV to 13 eV

Explanation: In order to justify this range of energy corresponding to the spectrum of hydrogen we firrsly have to consider the model given by Planck to describe this kind of atoms. On the hand the spectral series resume the main atomic transtitions corresponding for the hydrogen.

The attached file gives more details about these considerations.

The net external force on the propeller of a 0.75 kg model airplane is 17N forward. What is the
V125BC [204]

Answer:

23 m/s

Explanation:

The net external force on the propeller is 17N

The airplane is 0.75 kg

Therefore the acceleration of the plane can be calculated as follows

= 17/0.75

= 23 m/s

Hence the acceleration of the airplane is 23 m/s

Why is the SI system a consistent system?
Goryan [66]
S.I. System is same for all countries, so if any Scientist uses it, then another Scientist from any place around the world can figure it out, that what is he saying, how exactly is the magnitude of the object. That's why it is a Consistent system

Hope this helps!

What are the three subatomic particles that make up an atom
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Proton, neutron, electron

Explanation:

The atom consists of a nucleus, where almost all the mass is concentrated, and electrons orbiting around the nucleus.

The nucleus consists of two types of particles:

- Proton: it has a mass of 1.6726\cdot 10^{-27} kg, and a positive electric charge of +e (1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)

- Neutron: it has a mass of 1.6749 \cdot 10^{-27}kg, and it has no electric charge

The third particle that makes an atom is the electron, that orbit around the nucleus:

- Electron: it has a mass of 9.1094\cdot 10^{-31}kg, and it has a negative electric charge of -e (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C)
