Light from the sun (solar radiation) is composed on numerous wavelengths. The Earth's atmosphere filters out (or absorbs) some of these wavelengths; however, light in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet (UV) spectral ranges does reach the surface. Similarly, glass absorbs certain wavelengths of light. Some of the infrared and UV light cannot penetrate through even a thin sheet of glass. A solar cooker is a well-insulated box with a reflective lid that direct solar radiation into the box. Some solar ovens have a glass cover to keep debris from getting inside the oven and contaminating food. Solar radiation from the reflector is directed through the glass onto the pots containing food.

Which wavelengths of solar radiation will cause the temperature inside the solar oven to increase?
A
ultraviolet light from 280 nm to 315 nm
B
ultraviolet light from 315 nm to 400 nm
C
visible light from 400 nm to 780 nm
D
infrared light from 700 nm to 3,000 nm

When curium-242 is bombarded with an alpha particle, two products are formed, one of which is a nudge on. what is the other product

One of the hopes for solving the world's energy problem is to make use of the fusion reaction 21h +31h --> 42he + 10n + energy how much energy is released when 1 mol of deuterium is fused with 1 mol of tritium according to the above reaction? the masses of the atoms and the neutrons are as follows: 21h = 2.0140 amu 31h = 3.01605 amu 42he = 4.002603 amu 10n = 1.008665 amu. the speed of light is 2.9979 x 108 m/s.

The last few miles of the marathon are the most difficult for heather, her hair plastered to her head, sweat clinging to her arms, and her legs already feeling as if they had nothing left, just dead weight. after grabbing a cup of ice water, she feels the ice cubes smash against her nose as she gulps some cool refreshment and keeps on running. in these last few miles, the breeze kicks up and she finally feels some coolness against her skin. drips of sweat, once clinging to her forehead, now spill down, and heather feels more pain as the sweat flows into her eyes.which of the following is the most likely reason why the ice struck heather’s nose when she took a drink? a) water can function as a solvent. b) water can store large amounts of heat. c) water can moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling. d) the density of water decreases when it freezes. e) water has a cohesive nature.sweat remained on heather’s forehead and arms because of the a) high salt content of sweat b) cohesive nature of water c) ability of water to moderate heat d) high evaporative cooling effect of water e) ability of water to act as a solvent
