Answer:

A)   V = -136.36 V , B)  V = 4.85 10³ V , C)  V = 1.62 10⁴ V

Explanation:

To calculate the potential at an external point of the spheres we use Gauss's law that the charge can be considered at the center of the sphere, therefore the potential for an external point is

          V = k ∑ q_{i} / r_{i}

where q_{i} and r_{i} are the loads and the point distances.

A) We apply this equation to our case

          V = k (q₁ / r₁ + q₂ / r₂)

They ask us for the potential at the midpoint of separation

         r = 3.30 / 2 = 1.65 m

this distance is much greater than the radius of the spheres

let's calculate

         V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 1.65  + (-3.6 10⁻⁸) / 1.65)

         V = 9 10¹ / 1.65 (1.10 - 3.60)

         V = -136.36 V

B) The potential at the surface sphere A

r₂ is the distance of sphere B above the surface of sphere A

              r₂ = 3.30 -0.02 = 3.28 m

              r₁ = 0.02 m

we calculate

             V = 9 10⁹ (1.1 10⁻⁸ / 0.02  - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 3.28)

             V = 9 10¹ (55 - 1,098)

             V = 4.85 10³ V

C) The potential on the surface of sphere B

      r₂ = 0.02 m

      r₁ = 3.3 -0.02 = 3.28 m

      V = 9 10⁹ (1.10 10⁻⁸ / 3.28  - 3.6 10⁻⁸ / 0.02)

       V = 9 10¹ (0.335 - 180)

       V = 1.62 10⁴ V

E                  S                                                               *

The "E" represents Earth, "S" represent Sun, and the "*" represents the nearest star(which is Proxima Centauri).

The main thing to worry about here is units, so ill label everything out.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = .<span>00001581 light years
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.243 light years

Now this is where it gets fun, we need to put all the light years into centimeters.(theres alot)
In one light year, there are </span>9.461 * 10^17 centimeters.(the * in this case means multiplication) or 946,100,000,000,000,000 centimeters.

To convert we multiply the light years we found by the big number.
D'e,s'(Distance between earth and sun) = 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters<span>
D'e,*'(Distance between earth and Proxima) = </span><span>4.014 * 10^18 centimeters
</span>
Now we scale things down, we treat 1.496 * 10^13 centimeters as a SINGLE centimeter, because that's the distance between the earth and the sun. So all we have to do is divide (4.014 * 10^18 ) by (<span>1.496 * 10^13 ).
Why? because that how proportions work.

As a result, you get a mere 268335.7 centimeters.

To put that into perspective, that's only about 1.7 miles

A lot of my numbers came from google, so they are estimations and are not perfect, but its hard to be on really large scales.</span>

What is (a) the wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz?
yulyashka [42]

The wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz will be  31.25 * 10^{2} m^{-1} and 0.032 * 10^{2} m respectively

Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.

Wavenumber, also called wave number, a unit of frequency, often used in atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy, equal to the true frequency divided by the speed of the wave and thus equal to the number of waves in a unit distance.

wavelength = ?

frequency = 92 m Hz = 92 * 10^{6} Hz

speed of light = 3 * 10^{8} m/s

speed of light = frequency * wavelength

wavelength = speed of light  / frequency

                     = 3 * 10^{8}  / 92 * 10^{6}

                     = 0.032 * 10^{2} m

wavenumber = 1 / wavelength

                      = 1 / 0.032 * 10^{2} m

                      = 31.25 * 10^{2} m^{-1}
