A bug zapper consists of two metal plates connected to a high-voltage power supply. The voltage between the plates is set to giv

e an electric field slightly less than 1×10⁶ V/m . When a bug flies between the two plates, it increases the field enough to initiate a spark that incinerates the bug.
If a bug zapper has a 7000 V power supply, what is the approximate separation between the plates?
(a) 7×10⁻² cm
(b) 0.7 cm
(c) 7 cm
(d) 70 cm

Answer:

(b) 0.7 cm

Explanation:

E = Electric field = 1\times 10^6\ V/m

V = Voltage = 7000 V

d = Seperation between the plates

Electric field is given by

E=\dfrac{V}{d}

\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{7000}{1\times 10^6}\\\Rightarrow d=0.007\ m=0.7\ cm

The approximate separation between the plates is 0.7 cm

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light

A motorcycle starts from rest and has a constant acceleration. In a time interval t, it undergoes a displacement x and attains a
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

√(6ax)

Explanation:

Hi!

The question states that during a time t the motorcyle underwent a displacement x at constant acceleration a starting from rest, mathematically we can express it as:

x=(1/2)at^2

Then the we need to find the time t' for which the displacement is 3x

3x=(1/2)a(t')^2

Solving for t':

t'=√(6x/a)

Now, the velocity of the motorcycle as a function of time is:

v(t)=a*t

Evaluating at t=t'

v(t')=a*√(6x/a)=√(6*x*a)

Which is the final velocity

Have a nice day!

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The last statement is false.

Explanation:

Photons (Electromagnetic radiation) are released when electrons drop from a higher energy lever to a lower energy level. Therefore the opposite insinuated by the last statement is wrong.

A sound has a sound level of 30 dB. Its intensity is what multiple of the standard reference level for intensities?
arsen [322]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

1000th multiple of the standard reference level for intensities.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The sound intensity level (β), measured in decibels, of a sound with an intensity of I is defined as follows;

β = 10 log (I / I₀)       --------------------(i)

Where;

I₀ = reference intensity

Given from the question;

β = sound level = 30dB

Substitute this value into equation (i) as follows;

30 = 10 log (I / I₀)

Divide both sides by 3;

3 = log (I / I₀)

Take antilog of both sides;

10^(3) = (I / I₀)

1000 = I / I₀

Solve for I;

I = 1000I₀

Therefore the intensity of the sound is 1000 times the standard reference level for intensities (I₀)
