Neurons in our bodies carry weak currents that produce detectable magnetic fields. A technique called magnetoencephalography, or

MEG, is used to study electrical activity in the brain using this concept. This technique is capable of detecting magnetic fields as weak as 1.0 10-15 T. Model the neuron as a long wire carrying a current and find the current it must carry to produce a field of this magnitude at a distance of 3.6 cm from the neuron.

Answer:

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Explanation:

From Biot Savart's law, the magnetic field formula is given as

B = (μ₀I)/(2πr)

B = magnetic field = (1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) T

μ₀ = magnetic constant = (4π × 10⁻⁷) H/m

r = 3.6 cm = 0.036 m

(1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵) = (4π × 10⁻⁷ × I)/(2π × 0.036)

4π × 10⁻⁷ × I = 1.0 × 10⁻¹⁵ × 2π × 0.036

I = (1.80 × 10⁻¹⁰) A

Hope this Helps!!!

Monochromatic light of wavelength 385 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 3.00 m away, the distance between the second

LiRa [457]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the concept of overlap and constructive interference.

For this purpose we have that the constructive interference in waves can be expressed under the function

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

a = Width of the slit

d = Distance of slit to screen

m = Number of order which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

$\theta =$ Angle between incident rays and scatter planes

At the same time the distance on the screen from the central point, would be

$sin\theta = \frac{y}{d}$

Where y = Represents the distance on the screen from the central point

PART A ) From the previous equation if we arrange to find the angle we have that

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{y}{d})$

$\theta = sin^{-1}(\frac{1.4*10^{-2}}{3})$

$\theta = 0.2673\°$

PART B) Equation both equations we have

$a sin\theta = m\lambda$

$a \frac{y}{d} = m\lambda$

Re-arrange to find a,

$a = \frac{(2)(385*10^{-9})(3)}{(1.4*10^{-2})}$

$a = 1.65*10^{-4}m$

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers $d=1.6\ m$

Distance of person from one speaker $x_1=3\ m$

Distance of person from second speaker $x_2=3.5\ m$

Path difference between the waves is given by

$x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}$

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

$x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}$

$\lambda =0.5\times 2$

$\lambda =1\ m$

frequency is given by

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda }$

where $v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)$

$f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz$

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. $m=1$ and $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m$

frequency corresponding to this is

$f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz$

for $m=2$

$3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda$

$\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m$

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

$f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$f_3=1715\ Hz$

You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 27.0 m/s. as you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tr

Bezzdna [24]

speed of the car = 27 m/s

speed of truck ahead = 10 m/s

relative speed of car with respect to truck

$v_r = 27 - 10 = 17 m/s$

relative deceleration of car

$a_r = -7 m/s^2$

now the distance before they stop with respect to each other is given by

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

$0 - 17^2 = 2 *(-7)*d$

$d = 20.6 m$

so it will come at the same speed of truck after 20.6 m distance and hence it will not hit the truck as the distance of the truck is 25 m from car

Part b)

Distance traveled by car before it stops is given by

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a s$

$0^2 - 27^2 = 2 * (-7)* s$

$s = 52.1 m$

so it will stop after it will cover total 52.1 m distance

Part c)

time taken by the car to stop

$v_f - v_i = at$

$0 - 27 = (-7) * t$

$t = 3.86 s$

now the distance covered by truck in same time

$d = 3.86 * 10 = 38.6 m$

now after the car will stop its distance from the truck is

$D = 25 + 38.6 - 52.1 = 11.5 m$

<em>so the distance between them is 11.5 m</em>

What safety measures would you suggest to protect from harmful waves

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

If you're talking about the sun than:

Time, Distance and Shielding Time, distance, and shielding actions minimize your exposure to radiation in much the same way as they would to protect you against overexposure to the sun:

If you're talking about the ocean than:

Water safety precautions for teens and young adults:

Never go into the water if you can’t swim.

If you can’t swim, learn. Any age can receive swimming lessons.

Always wear a life jacket while boating or taking part in boating activities such as tubing or skiing.

Never swim alone or in an unsupervised area.

Know your swimming strength.

Don’t rough house around water. Never push, jump on or hang on to others in or around water.

Never drink alcohol while taking part in water or boating activities. Alcohol affects your motor skills therefore making it harder to swim, float, keep balance or drive.
