Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different

Physics

Paraphin [41]3 years ago
4 0
We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.

A capacitor consists of two parallel plates, each with an area of 17.0 cm2 , separated by a distance of 0.150 cm . The material
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

a)   C = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ F, b)  Q = 1.6 10⁻¹¹ C , c)   U = 3.21 10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

a) The capacitance of a capacitor is

       C = k e₀ A / d

Let's calculate

       C = 4 8.85 10⁻¹² 17 10⁻⁴ / 0.150 10⁻²

       C = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ F

b) let's look  the charge

        C = Q / ΔV

         Q = C ΔV

         Q = 4,012 10⁻¹⁴ 400

         Q = 1.6 10⁻¹¹ C

c) The stored energy

        U = ½ C ΔV²

        U = ½ 4,012 10⁻¹⁴  400²

        U = 3.21 10⁻¹¹ J

Fatigue strength is generally significantly improved by using high steel a. alloy b. yield c. hardened d. ultimate strength e. a
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

e. all of these

Explanation:

The fatigue strength is improved by then high alloy steels , high yield steels , high hardened steel , high ultimate steel .

Due to the formation of the improved materials in alloy steels will increase the fatigue strength . Similarly for a high yield steels and hardened steels these cycles to failure will improve .

What is the energy in joules of a mole of photons associated with red light of wavelength 7.00 × 102 nm?
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The energy of a single photon is given by E = hc/lambda, where h is Planck's constant, c is the speed of light, and lambda is the wavelength. Plugging the values in gives E = 6.63E-34 x 3.00E8 / 700E-9 = 2.84E-19 Joules Now one mole of substance is equivalent to 6.02E23 particles, so one mole of these photons will be: 2.84E-19 x 6.02E23 = 1.71E5 Joules</span>
