Sir Isaac Newton, held the theory that light was made up of tiny particles<span>. In 1678, Dutch physicist, Christiaan Huygens, believed that light was made up of </span>waves<span>vibrating up and down </span>perpendicular<span> to the direction of the light travels, and therefore formulated a way of visualising wave propagation.</span>

Answer:

PARTICLE

Explanation:

As per the theory proposed by the Newton for the propagation of light he assumed that light is made up of PARTICLEs

He said that light is made up of small rigid particles which behaves elastically. When light shows reflection then this is an example of 100% elastic collision where these particles will strike the surface and rebound with same speed at same angle with the normal

So this theory explains the propagation of light in particle form and hence this theory was known as particle theory of light

So as per Newton's explanation light is made up of PARTICLES

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

A) 12.57 m

B) 5 RPM

C) 3.142 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance covered in 1 Revolution:

The formula that gives the relationship between the arc length or distance covered during circular motion to the angle subtended or the revolutions, is given as follows:

s = rθ

where,

s = distance covered = ?

r = radius of circle = 2 m

θ = Angle = 2π radians  (For 1 complete Revolution)

Therefore,

s = (2 m)(2π radians)

<u>s = 12.57 m</u>

B) Angular Speed:

The formula for angular speed is given as:

ω = θ/t

where,

ω = angular speed = ?

θ = angular distance covered = 15 revolutions

t = time taken = 3 min

Therefore,

ω = 15 rev/3 min

<u>ω = 5 RPM</u>

C) Linear Speed:

The formula that gives the the linear speed of an object moving in a circular path is given as:

v = rω

where,

v = linear speed = ?

r = radius = 2 m

ω = Angular Speed in rad/s = (15 rev/min)(2π rad/1 rev)(1 min/60 s) = 1.571 rad/s

Therefore,

v = (2 m)(1.571 rad/s)

<u>v = 3.142 m/s</u>

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A
monitta

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law  direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L \frac{dI}{dt}    ...................1

so E = - L \frac{I2 - I1}{dt}

put here value we get

E = - 8 × 10^{-3} \frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}

E = -40 ×  6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF
