How would you change the distance between two charged particles to increase the electric force between them by a factor of 16

The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

So if you want to multiply the force by, say, ' Q ',
you need to multiply the distance by  ( 1 / √Q ) .

We want to multiply the force by 16, so we need to
multiply the distance by    ( 1 / √16 )  =  ( 1 / 4 ) .

The distance should be changed to  1/4  of what it is now.

Compare blue and red light from the visible spectrum. which has: the longer wavelength? the greater frequency? the greater energ
Hitman42 [59]
1) By looking at the table of the visible spectrum, we see that blue light has a wavelength in the range [450-490 nm], while red light has wavelength in the range [620-750 nm]. Therefore, red light has longer wavelength than blue light.

2) The frequency f of an electromagnetic wave is related to its wavelength \lambda by the formula
f= \frac{c}{\lambda}
where c is the speed of light. We see that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so the shorter the wavelength, the greater the frequency. In this case, blue light has shorter wavelength than red light, so blue light has greater frequency than red light.

3) The energy of the photons of an electromagnetic wave is given by
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the energy is directly proportional to the frequency, so the greater the frequency, the greater the energy. In this problem, blue light has greater frequency than red light, so blue light has also greater energy than red light.

Suppose the farthest distance a person can see without visual aid is 53 cm.
natita [175]

Answer: a. 53cm b. Diverging c. 0.02dioptres

Explanation:

Since the person in question cannot see far object clearly, it shows that the individual is suffering from myopia (short sightedness).

If the object distance (u) is 53cm. for the person to be able to see far way, it means the image must be at infinity. This shows image distance v is infinity. Using the lens formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/f = 1/53 + 1/Infinity

1/f = 1/53 + 0

f=53cm

b) The lens used is concave lens (diverging lens) to diverge all rays outwards

c) Power of a lens P will be 1/53.

P = 0.02dioptres

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion? *
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

Explanation:

Every force sent into an object will sent a force in return.
