Which process produces the energy radiated by the star when it becomes a main sequence star?

inysia [295]

The process that produces the energy radiated by stars is nuclear fusion in the core.
For a star on the main sequence, it's the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.

Mark all the mesons a) Proton b) Electron c)Anti-top d) Gluon e) Tau Neutrino

Sloan [31]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Subatomic particles are the particles which are very smaller than the atoms. Elementary particles are the examples of subatomic particles.

Elementary particles are the particles without any sub-structure which means they are not composed of other particles.

The elementary particles are classified into three categories which are discussed below:

(1) Quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charm.

(2) Leptons: muon, muon neutrino, electrons, electron neutrino, tau, tau neutrino.

(3) Bosons: Z bosons, W bosons, Higgs, Gluon, photons.

Mesons are the particles which compose one quark and one anti quarks.

Therefore, in the given list there is no meson.

A beam of monochromatic light with a wavelength of 400 nm in air travels into water. what is the wavelength of the light in wate

slava [35]

The refractive index of water is $n=1.33$ . This means that the speed of the light in the water is:
$v= \frac{c}{n}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.33 }=2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s$

The relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ of a wave is given by:
$\lambda= \frac{v}{f}$
where v is the speed of the wave in the medium. The frequency of the light does not change when it moves from one medium to the other one, so we can compute the ratio between the wavelength of the light in water $\lambda_w$ to that in air $\lambda$ as
$\frac{\lambda_w}{\lambda}= \frac{ \frac{v}{f} }{ \frac{c}{f} } = \frac{v}{c}$
where v is the speed of light in water and c is the speed of light in air. Re-arranging this formula and by using $\lambda=400 nm$ , we find
$\lambda_w = \lambda \frac{v}{c}=(400 nm) \frac{2.26 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}=301 nm$
which is the wavelength of light in water.

The net force acting on an object equals the applied force plus the force of friction.

Georgia [21]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The net force is equal to the applied force minus the force of friction. It is possible for friction to act in the same direction as an applied force, but that would mean there would have to be more than two forces acting on the object.

They realize there is a thin film of oil on the surface of the puddle. If the index of refraction of the oil is 1.81, and they o

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The right solution is "165.8 nm".

Explanation:

Given:

Index of refraction,

n = 1.81

Wavelength,

λ = 600 nm

We know that,

⇒ $t=\frac{\lambda}{2\times n}$

By putting the values, we get

$=\frac{600}{2\times 1.81}$

$=165.8 \ nm$
