Answer:

Violet

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (for this reason, these waves are also called transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves are generally invisible to human eye, apart from a very small portion of it, called visible light.

Waves in the visible part of the spectrum appear to us as a different color, depending on their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:

Violet (380-450 nm)

Blue (450-495 nm)

Green (495-570 nm)

Yellow (570-590 nm)

Orange (590-620 nm)

Red (620-750 nm)

So we see that violet is the color with shortest wavelength.

The electric field strength between the plates of a simple air capacitor is equal to the voltage across the plates divided by th

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

d = V/E

Explanation:

From the definition, we can say that the electric field strength between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor is

E = v/d

where

E = electric field strength

V = potential difference

d = distance between the plates

On rearranging the equation and making d subject of the formula, we have

d = V/E

From the question, we're given that

V = 112 V

E = 1.12 kV/cm converting to V/m, we have 110000 V/cm

d = 112 / 110000

d = 0.00102 m

d = 1.02*10^-3 m

A typical wall outlet voltage is 120 volts in the United States. Personal MP3 players require much smaller voltages, typically 2

butalik [34]

Answer:

Number of turns in secondary will be 7

Explanation:

We have given primary voltage $V_p=120volt$

Number of turns in the primary is $N_p=3575$

Secondary voltage is given $V_s=235mV=0.235volt$

We have to find the number of turns in secondary

We know that $\frac{N_p}{N_s}=\frac{V_p}{V_s}$

So $\frac{3575}{N_s}=\frac{120}{0.235}$

$N_s=6.60$

As the number of turns can not be in decimal so number of turns will be 7

In a lightning bolt, a large amount of charge flows during a time of 1.2 x 10-3 s. Assume that the bolt can be represented as a

ohaa [14]

Answer: 10.58 C has flowed during the lightning bolt

Explanation:

Given that;

Time of flow t = 1.2 × 10⁻³

perpendicular distance r = 21 m

Magnetic field B = 8.4 x 10⁻⁵ T

Now lets consider the expression for magnetic field;

B = u₀I / 2πr

the current flow is;

I = ( B × 2πr ) / u₀

so we substitute

I = ( (8.4 x 10⁻⁵) × 2 × 3.14 × 21 ) / 4π ×10⁻⁷

= 0.01107792 / 0.000001256

= 8820 A

Hence the charge flows during lightning bolt will be;

q = It

so we substitute

q = 8820 × 1.2 × 10⁻³

q = 10.58 C

therefore 10.58 C has flowed during the lightning bolt

Find the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth with a radius 3.57 times the mean radius of the Earth. (Radiu

Gnesinka [82]

The orbiting velocity of the satellite is 4.2km/s.

To find the answer, we need to know about the orbital velocity of a satellite.

<h3>What's the expression of orbital velocity of a satellite?</h3>

Mathematically, orbital velocity= √(GM/r)
r = radius of the orbital, M = mass of earth

<h3>What's the orbital velocity of a satellite orbiting earth with a radius 3.57 times the earth radius?</h3>

M= 5.98×10²⁴ kg, r= 3.57× 6.37×10³ km = 22.7×10⁶m
Orbital velocity= √(6.67×10^(-11)×5.98×10²⁴/22.7×10⁶)

=4.2km/s

Thus, we can conclude that the orbiting velocity of the satellite is 4.2km/s.
