When light interacts with matter 3 things can happen? Light can interact with matter in three ways: absorption, transmission, and reflection. 1. ABSORPTION – When a light wave with a identical frequency to an electron’s natural frequency “impinges” upon an atom, the electrons will begin to vibrate as a result (almost like they are “set […]
What force prevents an object from moving when pulled?
What force prevents an object from moving when pulled? Friction Does a heavier object move faster? The force of gravity is the weight of the body. Hence an object with greater mass feels greater force than the other one. So even if the slope is same for both objects, a massive object moves faster through […]
What is relative term in physics?
What is relative term in physics? A relative term is a term that makes two or more distinct references to objects (which may be the same object, for example in “The Morning Star is the Evening Star”). Is there anything called absolute motion? A body cannot exist at a state of absolute rest or absolute […]
Which best describes the relationship between brightness B and distance d )?
Which best describes the relationship between brightness B and distance d )? Inverse Square Law of Brightness The Apparent Brightness (B) of a source is inversely proportional to the square of its distance (d): Implications: It will appear 22=4 times brighter. Which type of dwarf is largest? A typical white dwarf is about as massive […]
Do elements in Group 1 gain or lose electrons?
Do elements in Group 1 gain or lose electrons? All Group 1 atoms can lose one electron to form positively charged ions. For example, potassium atoms do this to form ions with the same electron configuration as the noble gas argon. Group 2 atoms lose two electrons to form positively charged ions. Most elements in […]
Can you get cancer from sitting in front of a heater?
Can you get cancer from sitting in front of a heater? We know what it is, but there have been very few direct sources of interference to the natural body functions, that result in the mutations of the cell divisions, that is commonly called ‘cancer’. Sitting in front of an “infra Red” heater, is not […]
What is Charles Law in simple terms?
What is Charles Law in simple terms? Charles’s law, a statement that the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant. It is a special case of the general gas law and can be derived from the kinetic theory of gases under the […]
What is positive and negative charge in atoms?
What is the relationship between air pressure and weather?
What is the relationship between air pressure and weather? Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation. High-pressure systems usually lead to fair, calm weather. How pressure affects the wind flow? Air Pressure and Winds Air that moves horizontally between […]
What are the major features of introspection?
What are the major features of introspection? Introspection is closely related to human self-reflection and self-discovery and is contrasted with external observation. Introspection generally provides a privileged access to one’s own mental states, not mediated by other sources of knowledge, so that individual experience of the mind is unique. Why is introspection unreliable? Psychological research […]
