What causes us to see the moon is the Sun. The moon is usually above or below the Earth. So light from the Sun hits the moon and the moon reflects the light back. Some of it to Earth. For example, when a new moon happens the moon is in between the Sun and the Earth
SUN --------LIGHT-----------> MOON EARTH
What happens there is that none of the light gets reflected off the part of the moon that we can see from the ground, giving the illusion that it is not there.
During a full moon the Earth is in between the Sun and moon
SUN -------LIGHT---------> EARTH MOON
Now, nearly all the light from the Sun gets reflected off the surface of the moon and to us on Earth
Answer:
E(x,t) = Emaxcos(kx - ωt + φ),
B(x,t) = Bmaxcos(kx - ωt + φ).
Explanation:
E is the electric field vector, and B is the magnetic field vector of the EM wave. For electromagnetic waves the electric field E and the magnetic field B are always perpendicular to each other and perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The direction of propagation is the direction of E x B.
Answer:
A) V_rms = 29 V
B) Vav = 0 V
Explanation:
A) We are told that;
V = V_o cos ωt
voltage amplitude; V = V_o = 41.0V
Now, the formula for the root-mean-square potential difference Vrms is given as;
V_rms = V/√2
Thus plugging in relevant values, we have;
V_rms = 41/√2
V_rms = 29 V
B) Due to the fact that the voltage is sinusoidal from the given V = V_o cos ωt, we can say that the average potential difference Vav between the two terminals of the power supply would be zero.
Thus; Vav = 0 V
