A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more crests pass in a time of 50.2 s.

The distance between two successive crests is 30.2 m. What is the wave's (a) period, (b) frequency, (c) wavelength, and (d) speed

Explanation:

(a) The period of a wave is the time required for one complete cycle. In this case, we have the time of five cycles. So:

T=\frac{t}{n}\\\\T=\frac{50.2s}{5}\\T=10.04s

(b) The frequency of a wave is inversely proportional to its period:

f=\frac{1}{T}\\f=\frac{1}{10.04s}\\f=0.01Hz

(c) The wavelength is the distance between two successive crests, so:

\lambda=30.2m

(d) The speed of a wave is defined as:

v=f\lambda\\v=(0.1Hz)(30.2m)\\v=3.02\frac{m}{s}

What is the magnitude (in N/C) and direction of an electric field that exerts a 4.00 x 10^−5 N upward force on a −2.00 µC charge
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The magnitude of electric field is 1.25\times10^{14}\ N/C in downward.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force F= 4.00\times10^{-5}\ N

Charge q= -2.00 μC

We know that,

Charge is negative, then the electric field in the opposite direction of the exerted force.

We need to calculate the magnitude of electric field

Using formula of electric force

F = qE

E = \dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{4.00\times10^{-5}}{-2.00\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

E=-1.25\times10^{14}\ N/C

Negative sign shows the opposite direction of electric force.

Hence, The magnitude of electric field is 1.25\times10^{14}\ N/C in downward.

The statement that no two electrons in the same atom can have the same four quantum numbers is a restatement of
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Pauli exclusion principle

Explanation:

Pauli's exclusion principle speaks to the quantum numbers assigned to an electron to describe it's general position and movement. Two electrons can occupy the same energy level (which is described by the first quantum number-the principal quantum number), the orbital angular momentum quantum number (represented by the second number) and magnetic quantum number. electrons that have the same value for all three numbers will have different spins. one will have positive a half while the other has negative a half. Therefore they will never have the same complement of quantum numbers

What causes diffraction that results in a fuzzy glow around a full moon?
bagirrra123 [75]
Well, that's not actually "diffraction".

The fuzzy edge of the moon, and the added glow that's sometimes seen
around it, are all effects caused by the light passing through air before it
reaches you.

This gives you some idea of why astronomers go to such effort and
expense to get their telescopes above as much of the atmosphere as
possible ... placing all serious observatories on mountaintops, and even
putting telescopes in orbit.  It's all because the air does such a job on the
light that's trying to shine through it.  We have to make do with whatever's
left over after that.

Energy waves traveling at the speed of light are called _____.
koban [17]
RADIATION

There are three types of heat transfer or heat propagation; conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is the process by which heat projects externally however, depending on the temperature and pressure. Also called the movement of heat from a low temperatured state which increases as heat progresses.
Conduction is the heat transfer by contact, immediate contact.
Convection is the transfer of heat through air and water.
<span>Radiation is the transfer of heat regardless of the presence of atoms or particles.<span>
