Answer:

Explanation:

According to Huygen's principle, each point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets which generates the next wavefront.

In the given diagram, point source of light that is the primary source is represented by W. X and Z are wavefronts. The points marked on X are point source of wavelets. On Z, a wavelet is represented by Y. The wavelets spread out in forward direction. The envelope of wavelets forms a wavefront.

Answer:

Distance, such that displacement over time is taken into account doesn't change regardless of the length in x meters or mass in kg
So the force will remain constant given 16 units

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

$Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}$

where K is a constant with a value of $9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}$ , q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is $+1.6*10^{-19}C$ and the charge for the electron is $-1.6*10^{-19}C$ .

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

$1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m$

Replacing values:

$Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}$

$Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J$

Which formula can be used to solve problems related to the first law of thermodynamics?

docker41 [41]

Answer: The formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is $\Delta U=Q+W$

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that the total energy of the system remains conserved. Energy can neither be destroyed, nor be created but it can only be transformed into one form to another.

Its implication is any change in the internal energy will be either due to heat energy or work energy.

Mathematically,

$\Delta U=Q+W$

where, Q = heat energy

W = work energy

$\Delta U$ = Change in internal energy

Sign convention for these energies:

For Q: Heat absorbed will be positive and heat released will be negative.

For W: Work done by the system is negative and work done on the system is positive.

For $\Delta U$ : When negative, internal energy is decreasing and when positive, internal energy is increasing.

Hence, the formula used to solve the problems related to first law of thermodynamics is $\Delta U=Q+W$
