Which area of physics involves using a compass in the woods?

Physics

Magnetism.  A compass uses the earth's magnetic field to point in the direction of the north geographic pole (south magnetic pole)  the N point on a compass points to the S magnetic pole which is the north geographic pole.  It's a little confusing, but it's just opposites.

A laser emits a beam of light whose photons all have the same frequency. When the beam strikes the surface of a metal, photoelec
seraphim [82]

Answer:

the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.

Explanation:

In photoelectric effect, when a light is incident on a metal surface it ejects some electrons from the metal surface. The energy of photon of light must be equal to or greater than the work function of that metal. All the extra energy above the work potential appears as the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons. So, greater he energy of photon greater will be the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.

A single photon interacts with a single electron and ejects it only if its energy is greater than work function. So, the increase in no. of photons per second means an increase in the intensity of laser beam. And greater no. of photons, will interact with greater no. of electrons. So, <u>the no. of ejected electrons per second will increase.</u>

Two identical silver spheres of mass m and radius r are placed a distance R (sphere 1) and 2R (sphere 2) from the Sun, respectiv
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The ratio of T2 to T1 is 1.0

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on each sphere by the sun is inversely proporational to the square of the distance between the sun and each of the spheres.

Provided that the two spheres have the same radius r, the pressure of solar radiation too, is inversely proportional to the square of the distance of each sphere from the sun.

Let F₁ and F₂ = gravitational force of the sun on the first and second sphere respectively

P₁ and P₂ = Pressure of solar radiation on the first and second sphere respectively

M = mass of the Sun

m = mass of the spheres, equal masses.

For the first sphere that is distance R from the sun.

F₁ = (GmM/R²)

P₁ = (k/R²)

T₁ = (F₁/P₁) = (GmM/k)

For the second sphere that is at a distance 2R from the sun

F₂ = [GmM/(2R)²] = (GmM/4R²)

P₂ = [k/(2R)²] = (k/4R²)

T₂ = (F₂/P₂) = (GmM/k)

(T₁/T₂) = (GmM/k) ÷ (GmM/k) = 1.0

Hope this Helps!!!

Which type of wave has a longer wavelength: AM radio waves (with frequencies in the kilohertz range) or FM radio waves (with fre
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

AM has longer wavelength

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by

v = f x λ

Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.

It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.

So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.
