Which two ways can light be understood

Physics
1 answer:
Maksim231197 [3]3 years ago
3 0
Around 1700, when Mechanics was made for the first time by Sir Isaac Newton, he said about the nature of the light that it resembles thiny particles. Somewhat latter , around 1865, Maxwell discovered that the Electromagnetic waves have the same speed as the speed of light. From this resemblance he deduced that light should be an Electromagnetic wave. Latter than this, at around 1900, when trying to explain some peculiarities of the Photoelectric effect, Eistein postulated that light behaves like thiny particles (the older Newton Theory from 1700).
Today we say that LIGHT HAS A DUAL CHARACTER. It is also a wave and a particle. In some experiments light behaves like an Electromagnetic wave (diffraction, reflection, refraction), in other experiments light behaves like thiny particles (quanta): the Photoelectric effect and the Compton effect.

4. The blades on a fan have a frequency of 15 Hz.
vichka [17]

Answer:

a) 4500 cycles b) 0.0667s c) 6.67s

Explanation:

a) 15 Hz= 15 cycles/ s

   5 mins= 300s

   15 cycles/s * 300s= 4500 cycles

b) Period= 1/ frequency

   Period= 1/ 15 cycles/s

   Period= 0.0667s

c) Period * number of revolutions= time

  0.0667 * 100= 6.67s

1.Calculate the energy transferred by a 12V hairdryer, running on a current of 0.50A, that is left on for 8.0 minutes.
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

1. Energy = 2880 Joules.

2. Energy = 60 Joules.

3. Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

1. Voltage = 12 Volts

Current = 0.5 Amps

Time, t = 8 mins to seconds = 8 * 60 = 480 seconds

To find the energy;

Power = current * voltage

Power = 12 * 0.5

Power = 6 Watts

Next, we find the energy transferred;

Energy = power * time

Energy = 6 * 480

Energy = 2880 Joules

2. Charge, Q = 4 coulombs

Potential difference, p.d = 15V

To find the total energy transferred;

Energy = Q * p.d

Energy = 4 * 15

Energy = 60 Joules

3. Voltage = 6 Volts

Current = 1 Amps

Time = 2 minutes to seconds = 2 * 60 = 120 seconds

To find the quantity of charge;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Quantity of charge = 1 * 120

Quantity of charge = 120 Coulombs

An ideal solenoid having a coil density of 5000 turns per meter is 10 cm long and carries a current of 4.0
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
The rule that is used to get the strength of magnetic field at the center of solenoid (B) is:
B = <span>µ x n x I where:
</span>µ is the permeability of the medium where the solenoid is based. In this problem, the medium is air which means that µ = <span>µ </span><span>o = 4 pi x 10^-7 Tm/A
</span>I is the current passing (I = 4 amperes)
n is the number of turns per unit length (5000 turns)

Substituting in the mentioned equation, we find that:
B = 4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 5000 x 4 = 25.132 mT
