Ganymede is the largest satellite in our solar system. It is larger
than Mercury and Pluto, and three-quarters the size of Mars.

==> If Ganymede orbited the sun instead of orbiting Jupiter, it would
easily be classified as a planet.

Calculate the potential energy of a +1.0μC point charge sitting 0.1m from a -5.0μC point charge.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

P.E.      =   -0.449 J

Explanation:

Potential energy of a charge particle in any electrostatic field is defined as the amount of work done ( in negative ) to bring that charge particle from any position to a new position r.

Now Potential energy is defined by this formula,

P.E. = k q₁ q₂/ r

where P.E. is the potential energy.

k = 1/( 4πε₀) = 8.99 × 10⁹ C²/ ( Nm²)

q₁ = charge of one particle = +1.0μC

q₂ = charge of another particle = -5.0μC

r = distance = 0.1 m

Now , P.E. = 8.99 × 10⁹C²/ ( Nm²) * ( -5.0 × 10⁻⁶ C ) × ( 1 × 10⁻⁶ C ) / 0.1 m

          P.E.      =  -0.449 J

A thin soap bubble of index of refraction 1.33 is viewed with light of wavelength 550.0nm and appears very bright. Predict a pos
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The possible thickness of the soap bubble = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Refractive index of the soap bubble, \mu=1.33.
  • Wavelength of the light taken, \lambda = 550.0\ nm = 550.0\times 10^{-9}\ m.

Let the thickness of the soap bubble be t.

It is given that the soap bubble appears very bright, it means, there is a constructive interference takes place.

For the constructive interference of light through a thin film ( soap bubble), the condition of constructive interference is given as:

2\mu t=\left ( m+\dfrac 12 \right )\lambda.

where m is the order of constructive interference.

Since the soap bubble is appearing very bright, the order should be 0, as 0^{th} order interference has maximum intensity.

Thus,

2\mu t=\left (0+\dfrac 12\right )\lambda\\t=\dfrac{\lambda}{4\mu}\\\ \ = \dfrac{550\times 10^{-9}}{4\times 1.33}\\\ \ = 1.034\times 10^{-7}\ m.

It is the possible thickness of the soap bubble.
