Explanation:

One of the takeaways of the General Theory of Relativity (GTR) was that the light can be curved because of the gravity of a massive object. Einstein had proposed the idea of space-time fabric. Every object having mass will create depression in this fabric. Heavier the object, bigger the depression. Thus when light will pass near a heavy object lets say our Sun, it will deflect. He also gave mathematical formula to calculate the deflection.

The same was proved during the Total Solar Eclipse of 29 May 1919. Two scientists named Arthur Eddington and Frank Dyson conducted an experiment. In this eclipse the Sun was to be in front of Hyades in Taurus constellation. They took the measurement of stars of Hyades visible during the eclipse and then compared them with the actual readings. The deflection was clearly visible and the amount of deflection was very close to the values predicted by General Theory of Relativity. Thus they proved the theory right.

A solenoid of length 18 cm consists of closely spaced coils of wire wrapped tightly around a wooden core. The magnetic field str

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

$B_2 = 1.71 mT$

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field near the center of solenoid is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{L}$

now we know that initially the length of the solenoid is L = 18 cm and N number of turns are wounded on it

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2 mT

now we pulled the coils apart and the length of solenoid is increased as L = 21 cm

so we have

$\frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{L_2}{L_1}$

now plug in all values in it

$\frac{2.0 mT}{B_2} = \frac{21}{18}$

$B_2 = 1.71 mT$

Which career is most concerned with the study of radioactive isotopes?

leonid [27]

The career that is most concerned with the study of radioactive isotopes is chemistry. You need to have passed AP chemistry to actually deal with the isotopes. In a quick reference, isotopes are when the atom has difference amount of neutrons, making the atomic mass differ.
