What happens to light when it is captured by a material? plz, help meeeee!!!!! TwT

During absorption, frequency of the incoming light wave is either near or at the energy level of the electrons in the matter of the material. The electrons will absorb the energy of the light wave and change their energy state.

Hope that helps! :)

Describe the difference between accuracy and precision. How do these two concepts relate to the idea of significant digits?

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Accuracy of a measured value refers to how close a measurement is to the correct value. The uncertainty in a measurement is an estimate of the amount by which the measurement result may differ from this value. Precision of measured values refers to how close the agreement is between repeated measurements.

Question 20 (1 point)

romanna [79]

Answer:

A. The ratio of the element in glucose is different than in ethanol

Explanation:

The compounds given are;

Glucose C₆H₁₂O₆

Ethanol C₂H₆O

The two compounds given are different from one another. But they have the same elemental composition.

Ethanol is made up of Carbon, hydrogen and Oxygen and so also, Glucose

Now,

The number of atoms in both compounds are different;

Number of atoms

4. A 0.51 kg solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide. Calculate the W/W concentration

anzhelika [568]

Taking into account the definition of percentage composition, the percent composition of potassium iodide in this sample is 0.017%.

<h3>Definition of percent composition </h3>

The Percentage Composition is a measure of the amount of mass that an element occupies in a compound and indicates the percentage by mass of each element that is part of a compound.

To calculate the percentage of composition, it is necessary to know the mass of the element in a known mass of the compound.

<h3>Percentage Composition in this case</h3>

In this case, you know that a 0.51 kg (or 510000 mg, being 1 kg= 1000000 mg) solution contains 87 mg of potassium iodide.

Dividing the mass amount of potassium iodide present in the compound by the mass of the sample and multiplying it by 100 to obtain a percentage value, the percentage composition of potassium iodide is obtained:

$percentage composition of potassium iodide=\frac{87 mg}{510000 mg} x100$
