Describe how refraction concentrates wave energy so that some parts of a beach erode more.

1 answer:

3 0

Refraction is the bending of the waves which is result of the fact that different parts of the wave reach the water with different speeds because of the angle approaching the shore.

<span>The wave refraction disperses the wave energy in quiet water areas and sand is deposited.<span> </span></span>

Electromagnetic radiation behaves both as particles (called photons) and as waves. Wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) are related

inessss [21]

<h2>Answer: 136.363 m</h2>

Explanation:

We can find the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave oven by using the following given equation:

$c=\lambda.\nu$ (1)

Clearing $\lambda$ :

$\lambda=\frac{c}{\nu}$ (2)

Knowing $\nu=2.20 GHz=2.20(10)^{6}Hz=2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}$

$\lambda=\frac{3(10)^{8}m/s}{2.20(10)^{6}s^{-1}}$ (3)

$\lambda=136.363m$ This is the wavelength of the radiation produced by the microwave

What is the electric potential energy of an electron at the negative end of the cable, relative to the positive end of the cable

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Electric potential energy at the negative terminal: $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

Explanation:

When a particle with charge $q$ travels across a potential difference $\Delta V$ , then its change in electric potential energy is

$\Delta U = q \Delta V$

In this problem, we know that:

The particle is an electron, so its charge is

$q=-1.60\cdot 10^{-19}C$

We also know that the positive terminal is at potential

$V_+=0V$

While the negative terminal is at potential

$V_-=-12 V$

Therefore, the potential difference (final minus initial) is

$\Delta V = -12-0 = -12 V$

So, the change in potential energy of the electron is

$\Delta U = (-1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(-12)=1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

This means that the electron when it is at the negative terminal has $1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$ of energy more than when it is at the positive terminal.

Since the potential at the positive terminal is 0, this means that the electric potential energy of the electron at the negative end is

$1.92\cdot 10^{-18}J$

What is a difference between physical traits and personality traits?

malfutka [58]

Answer:

A physical trait is visible to the naked eye, such as, having six fingers; and a character trait is invisible to the naked eye, such as, being charming. Both can be subjective, for instance, claiming somebody has a big nose is a subjective comment about somebody's physical appearance.
