What is the theory of light?

Physics

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Corpuscular theory of light

Explanation:

In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.

As far as the field goes, the two charges opposite each other cancel!
So E = kQ / d² = k * Q / (d/√2)² = 2*k*Q / d² ◄
and since k = 8.99e9N·m²/C²,
E = 1.789e10N·m²/C² * Q / d² </span>

Three joggers are running along straight lines as follows: Jogger A, with a mass of 55.2kg, is traveling along the line y=6.00m
frutty [35]

Answer:

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

Explanation:

Given

mA = 55.2 Kg

vA = 3.45 m/s

rA = 6.00 m

mB = 62.4 Kg

vB = 4.23 m/s

rB = 3.00 m

mC = 72.1 Kg

vC = 4.75 m/s

rC = - 5.00 m

then we apply the equation

L =  (mv x r)

⇒  LA = mA*vA x rA = 55.2 *(3.45 i)x(6 j) = (1142.64 k) Kgm/s

⇒  LB = mB*vB x rB = 62.4 *(4.23 j)x(3 i) = (- 791.856 k) Kgm/s

⇒  LC = mC*vC x rC = 72.1 *(- 4.75 j)x(- 5 i) = (- 1712.375 k) Kgm/s

Finally, the total counterclockwise angular momentum of the three joggers about the origin is

L = LA + LB + LC = (1142.64 - 791.856 -1712.375) k  Kgm/s

L = - 1361.591 k Kgm/s

PLEASE HELP The graph shows the amplitude of a passing wave over time in seconds (s). What is the approximate frequency of the w
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

F = 0.3\ Hz

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for the graph

Required

Determine the frequency

Frequency (F) is calculated as:

F = \frac{1}{T}

Where

T = Time to complete a period

From the attachment, the wave complete a cycle or period in 3 seconds..

So:

F = \frac{1}{3s}

F = 0.333\ Hz

F = 0.3\ Hz --- Approximated
