Physics

Answer:

Perpendicular to the surface

Explanation:

- Electric field lines represent the direction of the electric field. The electric field lines also correspond to the direction along which the gradient of the electric potential is maximum.

- Equipotentials are lines or surfaces along which the electric potential is constant: the electric potential does not change moving along an equipotential surface.

Given the two definitions, equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field lines. Therefore, in this problem, the direction of the electric field is perpendicular to the spherical equipotential surface.

<span>Since frequency and wavelength have inverse relationship. It can be expressed by the equation: ν.λ = c Where, v = frequency of the electromagnetic wave. λ = it's wavelength c = the speed of light in a vacuum. v = 2.00 Ghz x 10^9 Hz / 1 Ghz = 2.00 x 10^9 Hz that means that in one second it covers 2.00 x 10^9 cycles. λ = 3.10^8 m/s / 2.00 x 10^9 /s = 1.25E-10 nanometers</span>

irina [24]

The correct answer is; Yes, you can be unconsciously eavesdropping.

Further Explanation:

When this occurs it is called the “The Cocktail Party Phenomenon.” Your mind can focus on one conversation that is being made and drown out all other speech and things going on around you. This makes your brain have auditory attention on one specific conversation.

The sensory hearing in the person listening to the conversation is subconsciously filtering the conversation into its own stream in the brain. This phenomenon can also detect certain words that are important to the person with a large amount of noise in the background.

This occurs in the left hemisphere of the brain in the superior temporal gyrus region.
