Describe the medium that electromagnetic waves use to travel

Physics
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to propagate means they  can travel through air and solid material and the vacuum of space too.

they move the fastest through gases mostly because particles in gases are spread out more than the particles in solids or in liquids so they move quickly through gases.

The height of the Washington Monument is measured to be 170 m on a day when its temperature is 35.0°C. What will the change in i
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m

Explanation:

Thermal coefficient of marble varies between (5.5 - 14.1) ×10⁻⁶/K = α

So, let us take the average value

(5.5+14.1)/2 = 9.8×10⁻⁶ /K

Change in temperature = 35-(-18) = 53 K = ΔT

Original length = 170 m = L

Linear thermal expansion

\frac{\Delta L}{L} = \alpha\Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=\frac{\alpha\Delta T}{L}\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=9.8\times 10^{-6}\times 53\times 170

The deformation is 0.088289 m

The final height of the monument is 170-0.088289 = 169.911702 m (subtraction because of cooling)

A long, hollow, cylindrical conductor (inner radius 3.4 mm, outer radius 7.3 mm) carries a current of 36 A distributed uniformly
Elden [556K]

Answer:

a. B= 9.45 \times10^{-3} T

b. B= 0.820 T

c. B= 0.0584 T

Explanation:

First, look at the picture to understand the problem before to solve it.

a. d1 = 1.1 mm

Here, the point is located inside the cilinder, just between the wire and the inner layer of the conductor. Therefore, we only consider the wire's current to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

To solve the equations we have to convert all units to those of the international system. (mm→m)

B=\frac{u_{0}I_{w}}{2\pi d_{1}} =\frac{52 \times4\pi \times10^{-7} }{2\pi 1.1 \times 10^{-3}} =9.45 \times10^{-3} T\\

μ0 is the constant of proportionality

μ0=4πX10^-7 N*s2/c^2

b. d2=3.6 mm

Here, the point is located in the surface of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider the current density of the conductor to calculate the magnetic field as follows:

J: current density

c: outer radius

b: inner radius

The cilinder's current is negative, as it goes on opposite direction than the wire's current.

J= \frac {-I_{c}}{\pi(c^{2}-b^{2}  ) }}

J=\frac{-36}{\pi(5.33\times10^{-5}-1.16\times10^{-5}) } =-274.80\times10^{3} A/m^{2}

B=\frac{u_{0}(I_{w}-JA_{s})}{2\pi d_{2} } \\A_{s}=\pi (d_{2}^{2}-b^2)=4.40\times10^{-6} m^2\\

B=\frac{6.68\times10^{-5}}{8.14\times10^{-5}} =0.820 T

c. d3=7.4 mm

Here, the point is located out of the cilinder. Therefore, we have to consider both, the conductor's current and the wire's current as follows:

B=\frac{u_{0}(I_w-I_c)}{2\pi d_3 } =\frac{2.011\times10^-5}{3.441\times10^{-4}} =0.0584 T

As we see, the magnitud of the magnetic field is greater inside the conductor, because of the density of current and the material's nature.

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Suppose that instead of a long straight wire, a shortstraight wire was used. The distance from the wire to thepoint that the mag
vichka [17]

Answer:

Thus, if field were sampled at same distance, the field due to short wire is greater than field due to long wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field, B of long straight wire can be obtained by applying ampere's law

B= \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}

I is here current, and r's the distance from the wire to the field of measurement.

The magnetic field is obviously directly proportional to the current wire. From this expression.

As the resistance of the long cable is proportional to the cable length, the short cable becomes less resilient than the long cable, so going through the short cable (where filled with the same material) is a bigger amount of currents. If the field is measured at the same time, the field is therefore larger than the long wire because of the short wire.
