Answer:

They arn't usually guesses, but they are well made theorys or explanations.  Its a well-substantiated explanation of facts that have been confirmed in expirements.

How large a current would a very long, straight wire have to carry so that the magnetic field 2.20 cm from the wire is equal to
choli [55]
Biot-Savart Law - Magnetic field around a straight conductor carrying a current I.

B = μ_0 I/2πr

where:
B is strength of magnetic field in T.
μ_0 is permeability of free space = 1.25664 x 10^ -6 T-m/A.
I is current in A.
r is distance from conductor in m.

<span>So I = 2πrB /μ_0</span>

Use the accompanying seismogram to answer which of the three types of seismic waves reached the seismograph first.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Primary waves (P-waves)

Explanation:

Due to excess of the energy inside the earth when the tectonic plates begin to slide or fracture then the energy is released in the form of seismic waves, this causes the earthquake.

<u>Two types of seismic waves are generally responsible for the earth quakes:</u>

  1. body waves
  2. surface waves

Body waves are of two types:

Primary waves (P-waves)

These are the fastest of all the waves involved in the earth-quake which travel at a speed of 1.6 km to 8 km per second.

They can pass trough solids, liquids and gases. They arrive at the surface as an instant thud.

Secondary waves (S-waves)

They can only pass through the solids and they move slower than the P-waves.

As S-waves move, they displace the rock particles, pushing them outwards perpendicular to the wave-path that leads to the earthquake-related first rolling period.

Surface waves (L-waves/ long waves)

  • These waves move along the surface of the earth. They are responsible for the earthquake's carnage.
  • They move up and down the Earth's surface, rocking the foundations of man-made structures.
  • Surface waves are slowest of the three waves, which means that they are the last to arrive. So at the end of an earthquake usually comes the most powerful shaking.

How are the magnetic domains of a magnet different from the domains of an ordinary piece of metal?
My name is Ann [436]
Answer:

In a magnet, the domains all point in the same direction; in an ordinary piece of metal, they're all jumbled up.

Explanation:

In a magnet, the domains all point toward the north pole; in an ordinary piece of metal, they all point to the south pole.

The vitreous humor, a transparent, gelatinous fluid that fills most of the eyeball, has an index of refraction of 1.34. Visible
Leto [7]

Answer:

a)   298.5 nm ,  522.4 nm  and b)  radiation frequency does not change

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a medium with a different index of refraction, the medium vibrates the molecules, as if it were a resonance process, whereby the medium vibrates at the same frequency as the incident light.

On the other hand, when the light reaches another medium its average speed within the medium changes, it is now less than the speed of light in a vacuum (c) for this to happen as we saw that the frequency is constant there must be a change in the wavelength of the radiation that is characterized by the ratio

    λₙ = λ₀ / n

    λₙ = 400 nm    in the void

    λₙ = 400 / 1.34

    λₙ= 298.5 nm

   λ₀ = 700 nm

   λₙ = 700 / 1.34

   λₙ = 522.4 nm

The radiation frequency does not change
