A small comet orbits the sun at an average distance, a, of 3.25 AU (Astronomical Units). The closest distance it gets to the sun is d = 0.90 AU. Using the formula below, find how elongated (e) the orbit is. d = a (1 - e) a. 0.723 b. 0.133 c. 0.023d. 0.657

Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass
