Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

t = 23.9nS

Explanation:

given :

Area A= 10 cm by 2 cm => 2 x 10^-2m x 10 x 10^-2m

distance d= 1mm=> 0.001

resistor R= 975 ohm

Capacitance can be calculated through the following formula,

C = (ε0  x A )/d

C = (8.85 x 10^-12 x (2 x 10^-2 x 10 x 10^-2))/0.001

C = 17.7 x 10^-12    (pico 'p' = 10^-12)

C = 17.7pF

the voltage between two plates is related to time, There we use the following formula of the final voltage

Vc = Vx (1-e^-(t/CR))  

75 = 100 x (1-e^-(t/CR))

75/100 = (1-e^-(t/CR))

.75 = (1-e^-(t/CR))

.75 -1 = -e^-(t/CR)

-0.25 = -e^-(t/CR)  --->(cancelling out the negative sign)

e^-(t/CR) = 0.25

in order to remove the exponent, take logs on both sides  

-t/CR = ln (0.25)

t/CR = -ln(0.25)

t = -CR x ln (0.25)

t = -(17.7 x 10^-12 x 975) x (-1.38629)

t = 23.9 x 10^{-9  

t = 23.9ns

Thus, it took 23.9ns  for the potential difference between the deflection plates to reach 75 volts

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .
