The wavelength of the radio photon is 268 m.

Electromagnetic waves travel with the speed of 3×10⁸m/s in vacuum. The speed of a wave c is related to its frequency f and wavelengthλ as follows:

$c=f\lambda$

Thus the wavelength is given by,

$\lambda =\frac{c}{f}$

Substitute 3×10⁸m/s for c and 1120×10³Hz for f.

$\lambda =\frac{c}{f}\\ =\frac{3*10^8m/s}{1120*10^3Hz} \\ =267.8 m\\ =268 m$

Thus the wavelength of the radio photon from an AM station is 268 m

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}$

Where

$\phi$ is magnetic flux

So,

$\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V$

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.

Answer:

use the bowl of water because Earth's magnetic field is relatively weak. Allowing it to float freely on the water, allows the magnetized needle to freely react to Earth's magnetic field, causing it to align North to South. If you watched closely, the same end of the needle should always point to the North

MrMuchimi

Answer:

W=700 Joule

Explanation:

Physics Work

Is the dot product of the force vector by the displacement vector

$W=\vec F \cdot \vec r$

When both the force and the displacements are pointed in the same direction, the formula reduces to its scalar version

$W=F.d$

The weightlifter is applying a net force of 350 N to lift the weights a distance of 2 m, thus the net work done is

$W=350\ N\ .\ 2\ m=700\ Joule$

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?

Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.
