If a magnet could swing freely, what would happen to its north-seeking pole?

1 answer:

8 0

You clearly identified the pole you're talking about as the
"north-seeking" pole. Assuming your integrity and sincerity,
we would then naturally expect that pole to seek north, and
point to Earth's north magnetic pole.

I'm confident in this answer also because I have several of
these devices hanging from the ceiling of my office, and I can
attest to the fact that on most clear days, they do in fact point
toward Earth's north magnetic pole.

The standard metric unit of density for a solid is

prisoha [69]

There is no SI "base unit" of density.
(Any unit of mass) divided by (any unit of volume) is
a valid unit of density.

The units of density that are seen most often are

(gram per cm³) and (kgm per meter³) .

X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light. (A) True (B) False

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.

A helium-neon laser emits light of wavelength 632.8 nm and has a power output of 16 mw. how many photons are emitted per second

NemiM [27]

The power of the laser is
$P=16 mW=0.016 W$
by using the relationship between power, energy and time, we can find the energy delivered by the laser in 1 second:
$E=Pt=(0.016 W)(1 s)=0.016 J$

The frequency of the photons of this light is given by
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m} =4.74 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$
and the energy of a single photon is
$E_1=hf=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(4.74 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.13 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

In order to find the number of photons emitted per second, we must divide the total energy emitted by the laser by the energy of a single photon, and we get:
$N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{0.016 J}{3.13 \cdot 10^{-19}J} =5.11 \cdot 10^{16} photons$
