Suppose that sunlight is incident upon both a pair of reading glasses and a pair of sunglasses. Which pair would you expect to b

Answer: the pair of sunglasses

Explanation:

A good pair of sunglasses are composed of abosorbent lenses that filter the sunlight that affects the eyes retina, especially ultraviolet (UV). So, these sunglasses are used to reduce the amount of light or radiant energy transmitted.

On the other hand, normal reading glasses (in which the lens glass has not been treated to filter ultraviolet sunlight) will let UV rays pass through.

Therefore, if both glasses are exposed to sunlight, the sunglasses are expected to be warmer by absorbing that radiant energy and preventing it from reaching the eyes.

Answer:

Time period for first satellites 24.46 days and for second satellites 37.67 days

Explanation:

Given :

Distance of first satellites r_{sat1} = 48000 \times 10^{3} m

Distance of second satellites r _{sat2} = 64000 \times 10^{3} m

Distance of charon r_{c} = 19600 \times 10^{3} m

Time period of charon T_{c} = 6.39 days

From the kepler's third law,

Square of the time period is proportional to the cube of the semi major axis.

   T^{2} = r^{3}

   \frac{T}{r^{\frac{3}{2} } } = constant

For first satellites,

  \frac{T_{c} }{r_{c} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }  = \frac{T_{sat1} }{r_{sat1} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }

{T_{sat1} } = 6.39 \times \frac{(48000 \times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} } }{(19600\times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} }}

T_{sat1} = 24.46 days

For second satellites,

   \frac{T_{c} }{r_{c} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }  = \frac{T_{sat2} }{r_{sat2} ^{\frac{3}{2} }  }

{T_{sat2} } = 6.39 \times \frac{(64000 \times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} } }{(19600\times 10^{3} )^{\frac{3}{2} }}

T_{sat2} = 37.67 days

Therefore, time period for first satellites = 24.46 days and for second satellites 37.67 days

Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol
klasskru [66]

The current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Length of silicon bar, l = 10 μm = 0.001 cm

Free electron density, Ne = 104 cm^3

Hole density, Nh = 1016 cm^3

μn = 1200 cm^2 / V s

μр = 500 cm^2 / V s

The total current flowing in the bar is the sum of the drift current due to the hole and the electrons.

J = Je + Jh

J = n qE μn + p qE μp

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J = Eq (n μn + p μp)

we know that E = V / l

So, J = (V / l) q (n μn + p μp)

     J = (1.6 \times 10^-19) / 0.001 (104 \times 1200 + 1016 \times 500)

     J = 1012480 \times 10^-16 A / m^2.

or

J = 1.01 \times 10^-9 A / m^2

Current, I = JA

A is the area of bar, A = 20 μm = 0.002 cm

I = 1.01 \times 10^-9 \times 0.002 = 2.02 \times 10^-12

So, the current flowing in silicon bar is 2.02 \times 10^-12 A.

What do nuclear scientists call a stick of uranium?
nikitadnepr [17]
They call it "rod" or "fission rod". This is because the uranium is the element used for the nuclear fission, where the uranium nuclei disintegrate producing lighter nuclei and energy.
