An excited atom can return to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation is false about the electromagnetic radiation.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the scope of modern quantum theory, the term Electromagnetic radiation is identified as the movement of photons through space. Almost all the sources of energy that we utilize today such as coal, oil, etc are a product of electromagnetic radiation which was absorbed from the sun millions of years ago.

Various properties of electromagnetic radiations are a directly proportional relationship between the energy and the frequency, Inverse proportionality between frequency and the wavelength, etc. Hence, we can conclude that an "excited atom" can never return to its ground state by assimilating electromagnetic radiation and the 2nd statement is false.

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

$v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s$

Distance=35 m

Time= $\frac{distance}{speed}$

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving= $\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s$

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed of sidewalk relative to ground= $v_s=1m/s$

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground= $v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s$

Time= $\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s$

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

Which item(s) would be sufficient to make a circuit?

masya89 [10]

Explanation :

A circuit is the representation of the path of the flow of current. The circuit can be either closed or open.

When the switch is off the circuit is closed circuit and when the switch is not connected the circuit is open.

The items that are sufficient to make a circuit are as follows :

Voltage source like a battery.
Resistors or electrical equipment like heater, motor etc.

Other components can be ammeter, voltmeter, ac source, variable resistors etc.

Determine the direction of the force that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A negative charge moving t

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) DOWN direction, b) directed INTO THE SCREEN, c) F = 0

Explanation:

The direction of the force is

for electric force

F = q E

where we assume a positive test charge, for which the force has the direction of the electric field.

For a magnetic field

in this case the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule.

For a positive test charge, the thumb points in the direction of velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm gives the direction of force for a positive charge.

F = q v x B

Let us apply these considerations to our case.

a) negative charge moving to the left

in a magnetic field points away from the screen

In this case the thumb goes to the left, the fingers extended outwards and the palm points upwards, but since the charge is negative the force has a DOWN direction.

b) negative charge moves to the left

in electric field it points off the screen.

The outside is in the direction of the electric field and since the charge is negative, the force is directed INTO THE SCREEN

c) positive charge moves down

in magnetic field points up

in this case the velocity and the field have the same direction so the vector product of them is zero

F = q v B sin 0

F = 0
