A smoke detector is an electronic fire-protection device that automatically senses the presence of smoke as a key indicator of fire and creates a loud sound as a warning. In 3-5 sentences, describe what is happening inside a photoelectric smoke detector as soon as smoke enters it

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. you see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. it appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m. what is (a) the average wavelength of sunlight? (b) the diameter of the pinhole?

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Atank is filled with an ideal gas at 400 k and pressure of 1.00 atm . part a the tank is heated until the pressure of the gas in the tank doubles. what is the temperature of the gas?
