Conductors are substances that pass an electrical charge.

Semiconductors are substances whose electrical conductivity is lower than that of metals and greater than that of dielectrics.

Electricity nonconductors or insulators - in the terminology of Faraday - dielectrics (see). N. perfect does not exist; they represent only a large resistance to galvanic current and then different bodies in varying degrees (see Galvanic current), so that between poor and good conductors there are many bodies of average conductivity. N. The galvanic current is also the best insulators of static electricity. N. Heat or its bad conductors are at the same time electrical insulators (see Thermal Conductivity).

A dielectric (insulator) is a substance that is poorly conducting or not conducting at all. The concentration of free charge carriers in a dielectric does not exceed 108 cm-3. The main property of the dielectric is the ability to polarize in an external electric field. From the point of view of the band theory of a solid body, a dielectric is a substance with a band gap greater than 3 eV.

It takes 5.0 seconds for a wave with a wavelength of 2.5 m to travel past your location. What’s the period of the wave. What is

Anna35 [415]

(a) Period of the wave
The period of a wave is the time needed for a complete cycle of the wave to pass through a certain point.
So, if an entire cycle of the wave passes through the given location in 5.0 seconds, this means that the period is equal to 5.0 s: T=5.0 s.

(b) Frequency of the wave
The frequency of a wave is defined as
$f= \frac{1}{T}$
since in our problem the period is $T=5.0 s$ , the frequency is
$f= \frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.2 Hz$

(c) Speed of the wave
The speed of a wave is given by the following relationship between frequency f and wavelength $\lambda$ :
$v=f \lambda = (0.2 Hz)(2.5 m)=0.5 m/s$
