Answer:

A radio telescope helped the astronomers discover the CMB.

Explanation:

Penzias and Wilson while experimenting with a radio telescope in 1964, accidentally discovered the radiation that exists universally also known as the CMB.
This was used to support the "Big Bang Theory" and not the "Steady State Theory"
CMB is the faint cosmic radiation that fills up the universe. It provides important data for understanding early universe.
This data tells us about the composition of the universe and its age which raises new questions about the universe.

Unpolarized light with an average intensity of 845 W/m2 moves along the x-axis when it enters a Polarizer A with a vertical tran

horsena [70]

Answer:

θ = 36.2º

Explanation:

When light passes through a polarizer it becomes polarized and if it then passes through a second polarizer, it must comply with Malus's law

I = I₀ cos² tea

The non-polarized light between the first polarized of this leaves half the intensity, with vertical polarization

I₁ = I₀ / 2

I₁ = 845/2

I₁ = 422.5 W / m²

In this case, the incident light in the second polarizer has an intensity of I₁ = 422.5 W / m² and the light that passes through the polarizer has a value of

I = 275 W / m ²

Cos² θ = I / I₁

Cos θ = √ I / I₁

Cos θ = √ (275 / 422.5)

Cos θ = 0.80678

θ = cos⁻¹ 0.80678

θ = 36.2º

This is the angle between the two polarizers

Four charges are on the four corners of a square. Q1 = +5μC, Q2 = -10μC, Q3 = +5μC, Q4 = -10μC. The side length of the square is

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric field due to a point charge Q at a point at distance d is given by the relation

E = $\frac{K\times Q}{d^2}$

Since Q1 and Q2 are of the same magnitude and distance , so they will create eletric field of same magnitude. Similarly field due to rest of the charges will also be same.

The charges are situated on the corners of a square in such a way that

equal charges of Q1 and Q3 are situated on the diametrically opposite corners of the square. Fields due to these two charges will be equal and opposite in direction. Therefore net field due to these two charges will be zero.

On the same ground, we can say that field due to Q2 and Q4 at the centre will be equal and opposite and therefore they will cancel out each other. Net field at the centre will be zero

Overall, net field due to all the four charges will be zero

What is the number of waves that pass a fixed ping in a given amount of time?

Viktor [21]

The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is wave frequency. Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests (high points) of waves that pass the fixed point in 1 second or some other time period. The higher the number is, the greater the frequency of the waves. :)
