Answer : The correct option is, (A) Refrigerator

Explanation :

There are two type of current which are direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC).

Direct current : In this, the electric current or charge flows in one direction only.

Alternating current : In this, the electric current or charge changes in periodical direction. It is used to supply power to houses, office building, etc.

From the given options, refrigerator device is most likely used to operate on alternating current.

While the other options, flashlight, remote control and cell phone is used to operate on direct current. In these devices, a battery is used which is a source of direct current.

Hence, the correct option is, (A) Refrigerator

What is the mathematical relationship among voltage current and resistance

loris [4]

Answer:

The relationship between voltage, current, and resistance is described by Ohm's law. This equation, i = v/r, tells us that the current, i, flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage, v, and inversely proportional to the resistance, r.

A student witnesses a flash of lightning and then t=2.5s later the student hears assiciated clap of thunder. (please show work)

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

857.5 m

2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

Explanation:

Time taken by the sound of the thunder to reach the student = 2.5 s

Speed of sound in air is 343 m/s

Speed of light is 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance travelled by the sound = Time taken by the sound × Speed of sound in air

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 2.5×343 = 857.5 m

⇒Distance travelled by the sound = 857.5 m

Time taken by light = Distance the light travelled / Speed of light

$\text{Time taken by light}=\frac{857.5}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by light}=2.8583\times 10^{-6}$

Time taken by light = 2.8583×10⁻⁶ seconds

A diffraction grating is illuminated simultaneously with red light of wavelength 670 nm and light of an unknown wavelength. The

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

dsin∅ = m× λ

so, dsin∅red = 3(670nm)

also, dsin∅? =5λ?

however ,if they overlap then dsin∅red = dsin∅?

3(670nm) /5 =402nm

∴λ = 402nm
