Sunsets are a deep red because A) tiny particles in the air are more efficient at scattering short wavelength light than they are at scattering long wavelength light. Hence, long wavelength light ends up coming directly towards you. B) most polluting gases and dust particles in the air are reddish in color and lend their color to that of the sky. C) air molecules absorb red light more efficiently than they do blue light because of their electron orbitals. D) air molecules absorb blue light more efficiently than they do red light because of their electron orbitals.

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc
