From wave speed formula, period is 1.96 × 10^-15 seconds per cycle and the frequency is 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

<h3>What is Frequency ?</h3>

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete revolution per second made by a vibrating body.

Given that the wavelength of the yellow light from a sodium flame is 589 nm. This light originated from a sodium atom in the hot flame.

(a) In the sodium atom from which this light originated, the period of the simple harmonic motion which was the source of this electromagnetic wave will be found by using the formula

v = λ/T

Where

v = speed of light = 300,000,000 m/s

λ = wavelength = 589 × 10^-9 m

T = period

Substitute all the parameters

300000000 = 589 × 10^-9/T

T = 589 × 10^-9/300000000

T = 1.96 × 10^-15 seconds per cycle.

(b) The frequency of this light wave is the reciprocal of its period. That is,

F = 1/T

F = 1/1.96 × 10^-15

F = 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

Therefore, the period of the wave is 1.96 × 10^-15 seconds per cycle and its frequency is 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

In a single wire, how much current would be required to generate 1 Tesla magnetic field at a 2 meter distance away from the wire

aev [14]

Answer:

12.56 A.

Explanation:

The magnetic field of a conductor carrying current is give as

H = I/2πr ............................... Equation 1

Where H = Magnetic Field, I = current, r = distance, and π = pie

Making I the subject of the equation,

I = 2πrH............... Equation 2

Given: H = 1 T, r = 2 m.

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 2

I = 2×3.14×2×1

I = 12.56 A.

Hence, the magnetic field = 12.56 A.

Answer:

Charge on each metal sphere will be $8\times 10^{8}C$

Explanation:

We have given number of electron added to metal sphere A $n=10^{12}electron$

As both the spheres are connected by rod so half -half electron will be distributed on both the spheres.

So electron on both the spheres $=\frac{10^{12}}{2}=5\times 10^{11}electron$

We know that charge on each electron $e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

So charge on both the spheres will be equal to $q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^{11}=8\times 10^{8}C$

So charge on each metal sphere will be equal to $8\times 10^{8}C$

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet

vampirchik [111]

Planet A;
m = the mass
Let r = the radius

Planet B:
Let M = the mass
The radius is 2r (twice the radius of planet A)

The surface gravitational acceleration of planets A and B (they have the same surface gravity) are
$g= \frac{Gm}{r^{2}} \, and \, g= \frac{GM}{(2r)^{2}} \\\\ m= \frac{M}{4} \\\\ M=4m$

Answer: The mass of planet B is 4m.
