TRANSFORMATION OF MOLECULES FROM A LIQUID TO GASEOUS STATE. MUST HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO OVERCOME COHESIVE ATTRACTION OF LIQUID. USE OF A HIGH KINETIC MOTION RESULTS IN COOLING
- A.
RADIATION
- B.
CONVERSION
- C.
EVAPORATION
- D.
CONDUCTION
Correct Answer
C. EVAPORATIONExplanation
Evaporation is the process in which molecules in a liquid state gain enough energy to become a gas. In order for molecules to evaporate, they must have enough energy to overcome the cohesive attraction of the liquid, meaning that the intermolecular forces holding the liquid together must be overcome. This process is facilitated by high kinetic motion, which allows the molecules to escape from the liquid and enter the gas phase. Evaporation is a cooling process because it requires energy, which is taken from the surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature.Rate this question:

- A.
BUNSEN-ROSCOE LAW OF RECIPROCITY
- B.
INVERSE SQUARE LAW
- C.
COSINE LAW
Correct Answer
A. BUNSEN-ROSCOE LAW OF RECIPROCITYExplanation
The Bunsen-Roscoe Law of Reciprocity states that the effect of light on a photosensitive material is determined by the total energy received, regardless of the intensity or duration of exposure. This means that the total energy absorbed by the material is the same, regardless of whether it was exposed to high intensity for a short period of time or low intensity for a longer period of time. Therefore, the equation given in the question, TOTAL ENERGY = INTENSITY OF ENERGY X TIME IT IS APPLIED, aligns with the Bunsen-Roscoe Law of Reciprocity.Rate this question:

- A.
BUNSEN-ROSCOE LAW OF RECIPROCITY
- B.
INVERSE SQUARE LAW
- C.
COSINE LAW
Correct Answer
C. COSINE LAWExplanation
The cosine law states that the efficiency of a surface in converting incident radiation into useful energy decreases in proportion to the increase in the angle of incidence. This means that as the angle of incidence increases, the efficiency of the surface decreases. The cosine law is based on the principle that the amount of radiation absorbed by a surface is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the incident radiation and the normal to the surface. Therefore, as the angle of incidence increases, the cosine of that angle decreases, resulting in a decrease in efficiency.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
ACOUSIC SPECTRUM - 20.
LONGITUDINAL WAVES
Correct Answer
SOUND WAVESExplanation
Sound waves are a type of longitudinal wave. Longitudinal waves are characterized by the vibration of particles in the same direction that the wave is traveling. Sound waves are created by the vibration of an object, which causes particles in the surrounding medium to vibrate and transfer energy. These waves can travel through solids, liquids, and gases, and they require a medium to propagate. Therefore, sound waves are a specific example of longitudinal waves.Rate this question:

- C.
MOLECULES CLOSE TOGETHER
- D.
MOLECULES FAR APART
Correct Answer(s)
A. LOW PRESSURE
D. MOLECULES FAR APARTExplanation
The correct answer is LOW PRESSURE and MOLECULES FAR APART. Refraction occurs when light waves pass through a medium with a different density, causing the waves to change direction. Low pressure refers to a less dense medium, which can cause the light waves to refract. Additionally, when molecules are far apart, the medium is less dense, allowing for greater refraction of light waves.Rate this question:
