What evidence can you cite for the particle nature of light? 1. Refraction phenomenon of light 2. The many colors of light 3. Di

GalinKa [24]

Evidence for the particle nature of light are not: 1. refraction, 2. many colors of light, 3. diffraction. These are all phenomenon that support wave theory of light. Evidence for particle nature of light is photoelectric effect. Because it was discovered that you need discrete energies of light to eject electrons from a metal surface and not continuous as the wave theory of light suggests.

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap

marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B= $3.7\times 10^{-2} T$

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm= $0.5\times 10^{-3} m$

Radius of wire,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm= $1\times 10^{-2} m$

$1 cm=10^{-2} m$

Resistivity of copper, $\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Where $A=\pi r^2$

Using the formula

$4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{l}{2\pi r'}$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800$

Hence, the number of turns of the solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B= $\mu_0 nI$

$3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6$

$n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}$

$n=6404 turns/m$

$n=\frac{N}{L}$

$L=\frac{N}{n}$

$L=\frac{799}{6404}$

$L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm$

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

Bobby is riding his bike down the road at a speed of 10 miles per hour. Ahead of him, he sees another rider, moving in the same

vekshin1

They will be travelling slower than 10mph.
if they were travelling at the same speed then they would stay an equal distance apart.
if they were travelling fatser then they would be getting further away more quickly than Bobby is catching up.
maybe they are travelling at 5mph but I'd say it's a safer option to chose under 10mph

What is the distance from one crest to the next crest?

ella [17]

The distance between wave crests is called wavelength. It is a characteristic shared by waves of all kinds, including ocean waves and sound waves. Wavelength is measured from the highest point, or summit, of one wave's crest to the summit of the next wave's crest
