A blue line with 5 orange tick marks then one red tick mark then 4 orange tick marks. The number zero is above the red tick mark. Assume each tick mark represents 1 cm. Calculate the total displacement from 0 if an object moves 3 cm to the left, then 7 cm to the right, and then 6 cm to the left. The object moves cm to the left. What is the total distance the object travels? cm

16 cm

Explanation:

Given that,

The object begins from 0 and moves 3cm towards left side followed by 7 cm towards the right and then, 6 cm towards the left side.

Let the x-axis to be the +ve and on the right side and -ve on the left

Thus, displacement would be:

= 0 -3 + 7 -6

= -2 cm

This implies that the object displaces 2cm towards the left.

While the total distance covered by the object equal to,

= 0cm + 3cm + 7cm + 6cm

= 16 cm

Thus, 16 cm is the total distance.

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
