Answer:

Gran Telescopio Canarias

Explanation:

There are numerous giant telescopes all over the world which give us amazingly details data of the Universe. These work in various wavelengths. Talking about the telescopes which operates in visible wavelengths, the largest operational telescope will be Gran Telescopio Canarias. This telescope has an aperture of 10.4m. It is situated in Canary Island, Spain.

In future larger telescopes such as Thirty Meter Telescope and EELT will will make it look like a small telescope.

Two pulses move in opposite directions on a string and are identical in shape except that one has positive displacements of the

Leni [432]

A single disturbance that travels via a transmission medium is referred to as a pulse. This medium might be formed of stuff or a vacuum, and it might be endlessly large or finite in size.

Consider two pulses that are identical in shape and proceed in opposite directions along a string, with the exception that one has positive displacements of the string's elements while the other has negative displacements.

On the string, the two pulses blend together completely.

The pulses completely balance one another out in terms of removing string elements from equilibrium, yet the string still moves. Shortly after the string is once again shifted, the pulses will have passed each other.

The correct option is (c)

What is the term for substances that have several unpaired electrons and are strongly magnetic

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Scientific definitions for ferromagnetic

The property of being strongly attracted to either pole of a magnet. Ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, contain unpaired electrons, each with a small magnetic field of its own, that align readily with each other in response to an external magnetic field.

A parallel-plate capacitor stores charge Q. The capacitor is then disconnected from its voltage source, and the space between th

Stells [14]

Answer:

The relationship between the initial stored energy $PE_{i}$ and the stored energy after the dielectric is inserted $PE_{f}$ is:

c) $PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

Explanation:

A parallel plate capacitor with $C_{o}$ that is connected to a voltage source $V_{o}$ holds a charge of $Q_{o} =C_{o} V_{o}$ . Then we disconnect the voltage source and keep the charge $Q_{o}$ constant . If we insert a dielectric of $\kappa=2$ between the plates while we keep the charge constant, we found that the potential decreases as:

$V=\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa}$

The capacitance is modified as:

$C=\frac{Q}{V} =\kappa\frac{Q_{o}}{V_{o}}=\kappa\ C_{o}$

The stored energy without the dielectric is

$PE_{i}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q_{o}^{2}}{C_{o}}=\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2}$

The stored energy after the dielectric is inserted is:

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{Q^{2}}{C}=\frac{1}{2}CV^{2}$

If we replace in the above equation the values of V and C we get that

$PE_{f}=\frac{1}{2}\kappa\ C_{o}(\frac{V_{o}}{\kappa})^{2}=\frac{1}{\kappa}(\frac{1}{2}C_{o}V_{o}^{2})$

$PE_{f} =\frac{PE_{i}}{\kappa}$

Finally

$PE_{f} =0.5\ PE_{i}$

What are the characteristics of low energy waves?

Leokris [45]

I think the correct answer from the choices presented above is the first option. The characteristics of low energy waves are <span>long wavelengths and low frequencies. Energy is established to be indirectly proportional to wavelengths and frequencies.</span>
