I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B.  The name of the process which allows for the production of so much energy in the sun would be fusion reaction. It <span>is a nuclear </span>reaction<span> in which two or more atomic nuclei come close enough to form one or more different atomic nuclei and subatomic particles</span>

What type of light does this light bulb produce most (i.e. at what wavelength does the spectrum have maximum intensity)?
lesantik [10]

Answer: The light bulb produces the continuous light. At minimum wavelength the spectrum have maximum intensity.

Explanation:

According to Wein's displacement law, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the temperature.

The intensity depends on the frequency. The frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

Therefore, when the temperature of the light bulb will be maximum then the wavelength will be minimum. At minimum wavelength the spectrum have maximum intensity.

An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

2.88*10^{8} m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

c=\frac {2d}{t} and t=\frac {\theta}{\omega} hence

c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}

Speed of light is given by

c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s

While traveling from Boston to Hartford, Person A drives at a constant speed of 55 mph for the entire trip. Person B drives at 6
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B will take 1.034 times the time of A from Boston to Hartford.

Explanation:

Let the distance from Boston to Hartford be S.

Person A drives at a constant speed of 55 mph for the entire trip,

Time taken by person A

             t_A=\frac{S}{55}

Person B drives at 65 mph for half the distance and then drives 45 mph for the second half of the distance.

Time taken by person B

            t_B=\frac{\frac{S}{2}}{65}+\frac{\frac{S}{2}}{45}=\frac{S}{130}+\frac{S}{90}=\frac{220S}{130\times 90}=\frac{11S}{585}

Ratio of time of arrival of B to A

                      \frac{t_B}{t_A}=\frac{\frac{11S}{585}}{\frac{S}{55}}=\frac{121}{117}=1.034

B will take 1.034 times the time of A from Boston to Hartford.

Your eye is designed to work in air. Surrounding it with water impairs its ability to form images. Consequently, scuba divers we
grin007 [14]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

A) There are two important angles within the plastic: the angle immediately after the first refraction (the water/plastic interface) and the angle immediately before the second refraction (the plastic/air interface).

To find out how they relate, draw a picture with the path the light follows in the plastic and the normal to both surfaces.

Once you have labeled both angles, keep in mind that the surfaces are parallel, and thus their normal are parallel lines. An important theorem from geometry will give you the relationship between the angles.

Using Snell's Law,   θa = asin[(nw/na)*sin(θw)]

B) D = l/tan(θw)

C) D = l/θw

D) d/D = na/nw

Suppose an isolated box of volume 2V is divided into two equal compartments. An ideal gas occupies half of the container and the
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

A. the internal energy stays the same

Explanation:

From the first law of thermodynamics, "energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Based on this first law of thermodynamic, the new internal energy of the gas is the same as the internal energy of the original system.

Therefore, when the partition separating the two halves of the box is removed and the system reaches equilibrium again, the internal energy stays the same.
