Why can an object still be seen when it is at absolute zero?

1 answer:

6 0

As the temperature goes down, the chaotic motion (velocity) of atoms start decreasing. If the temperature hits the absolute zero (which, in reality, is impossible to achieve), the atoms of the body would freeze, making the body still and stiff. One thing to note here is that the atoms do not get destroyed when the temperature reaches the absolute zero. That is the reason why the object can still be seen when it is at absolute zero.

An infinite sheet of charge, oriented perpendicular to the x-axis, passes through x = 0. It has a surface charge density σ1 = -2

Answer:

$E_{total}=4.82*10^6N/C$

vector with direction equal to the axis X.

Explanation:

We use the Gauss Law and the superposition law in order to solve this problem.

Superposition Law: the Total Electric field is the sum of the electric field of the first infinite sheet and the Electric field of the second infinite sheet:

$E_{total}=E_1+E_2$

Thanks Gauss Law we know that the electric field of a infinite sheet with density of charge σ is:

$E=\sigma/(2\epsilon_o)$

Then:

$E_{total}=(\sigma_1+\sigma_2)/(2\epsilon_o)=(-2.7*10^{-6}+88*10^{-6})/(2*8.85*10^{-12})=4.82*10^6N/C$

This electric field has a direction in the axis perpendicular to the sheets, that means it has the same direction as the axis X.

What is the number of waves that pass a fixed ping in a given amount of time?

Viktor [21]

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is wave frequency. Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests (high points) of waves that pass the fixed point in 1 second or some other time period. The higher the number is, the greater the frequency of the waves. :)
