What colors do plants absorb best? Short answer: plant absorbs mostly “blue” and “red” light. They rarely absorb green for its mostly reflected by plant, that makes them green! Long answer : Photosynthesis is the ability of plants to absorb the energy of light, and convert it into energy for the plant. Do plants grow […]
Which part of Earth gets the most sunlight?
Which part of Earth gets the most sunlight? the equator What part of Earth gets the least amount of sunlight? The places in the world with the fewest daylight hours Rjukan (Noruega) Imagine a little village located in a valley to the south of Norway, surrounded by mountains. Barrow (USA) We return to North America […]
What will be the magnetic field outside and inside a long current carrying solenoid?
What will be the magnetic field outside and inside a long current carrying solenoid? Outside the solenoid the magnetic field will be weak and the field lines will curl up to form closed loops. Hence, the magnetic field inside a solenoid carrying current will be the same at all the points. What is the value […]
How do you calculate half-life examples?
How do you calculate half-life examples? The quantity of radioactive nuclei at any given time will decrease to half as much in one half-life. For example, if there were 100g of Cf-251 in a sample at some time, after 800 years, there would be 50g of Cf-251 remaining. After another 800 years (1600 years total), […]
What does miasma mean in Greek?
What does miasma mean in Greek? In Greek mythology, a miasma is “a contagious power that has an independent life of its own. Until purged by the sacrificial death of the wrongdoer, society would be chronically infected by catastrophe.” An example is Atreus who invited his brother Thyestes to a delicious stew containing the bodies […]
What if there is 2 modes?
What is the relationship between absorbance and concentration?
What is the relationship between absorbance and concentration? One factor that influences the absorbance of a sample is the concentration (c). The expectation would be that, as the concentration goes up, more radiation is absorbed and the absorbance goes up. Therefore, the absorbance is directly proportional to the concentration. How do you calculate absorbance from […]
What is the ideal gas thermometer?
What is the ideal gas thermometer? In principle, we can measure the same temperature using any gas, so long as the constant operating pressure is low enough. When we do so, our device is called the ideal gas thermometer. The (very nearly) direct proportionality of two low-pressure real gas volumes contrasts with what we observe […]
Are linear and angular momentum conserved separately?
Are linear and angular momentum conserved separately? Now, such an object can be assumed to have a constant mechanical energy. But that is only one part of the story. The fact is, since each linear and angular momentum of this object is conserved, the respective components of its linear and angular energy also would be […]
What are the biggest causes of water pollution?
