A copper wire has a square cross section 2.1 mm on a side. The wire is 4.3 m long and carries a current of 3.6 A. The density of
free electrons is 8.5 * 1028>m3 . Find the magnitudes of (a) the current density in the wire and (b) the electric field in the wire. (c) How much time is required for an electron to travel the length of the wire?

Answer:
1. Reflection
2. travel from one medium to another
3. Same waves to travel in opposite direction.
Explanation:
1. When a wave strikes a solid barrier, it bounces back in the same medium. This wave behavior of bouncing back is known as reflection. Its like a basketball hitting a backboard. The ball bounces back at the same angle as it was incident. ∠i = ∠r
2. For refraction to occur in a wave, the wave must travel from one medium to another. When light travels from through mediums of different optical densities, it bends. The wave bends away normal when it enters from denser medium to rarer medium. The wave bends towards the normal when it enters from rarer to denser medium. The angle of refraction and angle of incidence are related by Snell's law.
3. The formation of standing wave requires two same waves to travel in the opposite direction and interfere. The incident wave and reflected wave when interfere, form standing waves. There waves are also resonances or harmonics. A standing wave oscillates at one place and does not transfers any energy.
Answer:
v = 8.4 m/s
Explanation:
The question ays, "A longitudinal wave has a frequency of 200 Hz and a wavelength of 4.2m. What is the speed of the wave?".
Frequency of a wave, f = 200 Hz
Wavelength = 4.2 cm = 0.042 m
We need to find the speed of the wave. The formula for the speed of a wave is given by :
So, the speed of the wave is equal to 8.4 m/s.
