Light does bend in a gravitational field. Why is this bending not taken into consideration by surveyors who use laser beams as s

Goshia [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Because the effect is not big enough to be noticeable.

Explanation:

The light is bent by gravitational fields, but the bend is not that big unless we are talking about objects with a massive amount of mass. To be noticed the bent, you need to stay far away from the object that causes the blend and the object also needs to be far away from the source of the light. For example, you can observe the blend in the light of a far-away star when the light travels close to the sun to reach earth, and the deflection will be around 1.75 arc-seconds. The deflection occurs also with light beams on the earth but the effect is too small to be taken into consideration.

A capacitor is connected across an ac source. Suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. What happens to the capacitive rea
fgiga [73]

The capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

<h3>Calculation:</h3>

We know the capacitive reactance is given as,

Xc = \frac{1}{2\pi fC}

where,

Xc\\ = capacitive reactance

f = frequency

C = capacitance

It is given that frequency is doubled, i.e.,

f' = 2f

To find,

Xc =?

Xc' = \frac{1}{2\pi f'C}

      = \frac{1}{2\pi 2f C}

      = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2\pi fC} )\\

Xc' = \frac{1}{2} Xc

Therefore, the capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

I understand the question you are looking for is this:

A capacitor is connected across an AC source. Suppose the frequency of the source is doubled. What happens to the capacitive reactant of the inductor?

  1. The capacitive reactance is doubled.
  2. The capacitive reactance is traduced by a factor of 4.
  3. The capacitive reactance remains constant.
  4. The capacitive reactance is quadrupled.
  5. The capacitive reactance is reduced by a factor of 2.

Ans of this question A test charge of 1 couloumb moved from 30cm against the field of intensity 50N/c find the energy store in i
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

Given data,

The charge of the test charge, q = 1 C

The distance the charge moved against the filed of intensity, x = 30 cm

                                                                                                        = 0.3 m

The electric field intensity, E = 50 N/C

The energy stored in the charge at 0.3 m is given by the formula,

                                V = k q/r

Where,                        

                                     = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²C⁻²

The charge is moved from the potential V₁ to V₂ at 30 cm

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                            V₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x 30 / 0.3

                                =  1.5 x 10¹² J

And,

                            V₂ = 1.5 x 10¹² J

The energy stored in it is,

                             W = V₂ - V₁

                                  = 0

Hence, the energy stored in the charge is, W = 0
