A material that allows an electric current to flow through it is an electrical conductor. A material through which an electric c

urrent cannot flow easily is called an insulator. Which statement best describes the difference between an insulator and a conductor?
An insulator has a static charge, and a conductor does not.
A conductor contains more electrons than an insulator.
A conductor is a metal, and an insulator is any material that is not a metal.
An insulator does not have electrons that are free to move, and a conductor does.

2. A common physics experiment involves lowering an open tube into a cylinder of water and moving the tube up and down to adjust
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Explanation:

This question pertains to resonance in air column.  It is the case of closed air column in which fundamental note is formed at a length which is as follows

l = λ / 4 where l is length of tube and λ is wave length.

here l = .26 m

λ = .26 x 4 = 1.04 m

frequency of sound = 330 Hz

velocity of sound = frequency x wave length

= 330 x 1.04

= 343.2 m /s

b )

Next overtone will be produced at 3 times the length

so next length of air column = 3 x 26

= 78 cm

c )

If frequency of sound = 256 Hz

wavelength = velocity / frequency

= 343.2 / 256

= 1.34 m

= 134 cm

length of air column for resonance

= wavelength / 4

134/4

= 33.5 cm

Order the speed of sound through these materials from the slowest to the fastest.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

1 ) Warm air

2) Cold air

3) Cold water

4) Steel

5) Hot molten

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we have to warn that the sound propagates more easily in denser media, in this way we have to identify the densities of the different materials.

Density cold air = 1.2 [kg/m^3]

Density warm air = 1.01 [kg/m^3]

Density cold water = 1000 [kg/m^3]

Density steel = 7500 [kg/m^3]

Density hot molten = 14100 [kg/m^3]

Therefore in order from the slowest to the fastest:

1 ) Warm air

2) Cold air

3) Cold water

4) Steel

5) Hot molten

Monochromatic electromagnetic radiation illuminates an area of a surface. The electric and magnetic fields of the waves are then
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

c) True. factor four

Explanation:

The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is given by

             u = ½ ε₀ E² = B² / 2μ₀

Where ε₀ is the dielectric constant and μ₀ the magnetic permittivity.

Let's apply this equation to the present case

 

If we double the electro field

               E ’= 2 E₀

               u’= ½  ε₀ (2E₀)²

               u’= ½ ε₀ Eo² 4

               u’= 4 u₀

Therefore the energy is multiplied by four

Let's check the answers

a) False

b) False

c) True

d) False

e) False
