About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.

Sunlight has its maximum intensity at a wavelength of 4.83 x 10'm; wha energy does this correspond to in e?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

E = 2,575 eV

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the Planck equation and the relationship of the speed of light with the frequency and wavelength

     E = h f

     c = λ f

Where the Planck constant has a value of 6.63 10⁻³⁴ J s

Let's replace

    E = h c / λ

Let's calculate for wavelengths

    λ = 4.83 10-7 m     (blue)

    E = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 4.83 10⁻⁷

    E = 4.12 10-19 J

The transformation from J to eV is 1 eV = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J

    E = 4.12 10⁻¹⁹ J (1 eV / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ J)

    E = 2,575 eV

4. For a point charge, we derived an expression from Gauss’s law for the electric field a distance r away. You have a point char
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

A point charge of +2q centered in a conductive spherical shell of inner diameter a and outer diameter b will induce - 2q charge on the inner surface and +2q charge on the outer surface of the shell. Since 8q charge has been added to the shell , this charge will reside on the outer surface of the shell. so total charge on the outer surface will be 10q.  At a point less than a , the electric field will be due to +2q charge situated at the centre . The electric field will be as follows

E = k .2q / r² for r < a

= 8kq/ a²

electric field at a point  r = a>b

total charge  lying inside is +2q - 2q = 0 . So in the thickness of the shell , electric field will be zero as total charge inside is nil.

For a point at r > b total charge inside is 2q-2q+10q = 10q , so electric field at r which is lying outside  the shell .

E = k 10 q / r² for r > b

Which structure contains fluid and stimulates impulses carried by the auditory nerve to the brain?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

the cochlea

Explanation:

The cochlea contains the spiral organ of Corti, which is the receptor organ for hearing. It consists of tiny hair cells that translate the fluid vibration of sounds from its surrounding ducts into electrical impulses that are carried to the brain by sensory nerves.

How does the pupillary response prevent injury? What would happen without it?
Aleksandr [31]
Pupils dilate and constrict in order to allow an adequate amount of light to pass through the retina and vision. If there is not enough light and the pupils do not dilate, a small amount of light will pass to the retina and the vision will be damaged.
