Acar tire is filled with air at pressure 325000 pa at 303 k. when the tire cools, its pressure reduces to 299000 pa. what is the new temperature of the tire?

new temperature of the tire will be 278.76 K

Explanation:

when the temperature increases, the particles will have greater kinetic energy and also the pressure will be increase for the gas particles.

so when the temperature increases, pressure  will also increase  and vice versa

 T is directly proportional to P

T1  = initial temperature= 303 k

P1= Initial pressure =  325000 pa

T2= Final temperature=  ?

P2= Final pressure =   299000 pa

mathematically

P1/T1= P2/T2

T2= P2 x T1/P1

T2 = 299000 x 303/ 325000=  278.76 k

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.

d. platinum would have the greatest temperature increase because it has the lowest specific heat.
