Answer:

3 times option (d) is correct

Explanation:

Initial intensity = Io

final intensity = 9 Io

initial amplitude = A

Final amplitude = ?

let the final amplitude is A'.

Intensity of a wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude of the wave.

I ∝ A²

So, Io ∝ A²   ... (1)

9Io ∝ A'²     .... (2)

Divide (2) by (1)

9 = A'²/A²

A' = 3 A

So, the amplitude becomes 3 times.

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

intensity\ \alpha \ (Amplitude)^2

increase the intensity by factor of 9

    I₁ = I₀

    I₂ = 9 I₀

now,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{A_1^2}{A_2^2}

\dfrac{I_0}{9I_0}=(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2

(\dfrac{A_1}{A_2})^2=\dfrac{1}{9}

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{1}{3}

      A₂ = 3 A₁

hence, amplitude increase with the factor of 3

so, the correct answer is option D

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor is 121 nano-Coulomb, how many excess electrons are on that plate? Write you
Julli [10]

Answer:

n = 756.25 giga electrons

Explanation:

It is given that,

If the charge on the negative plate of the capacitor, Q=121\ nC=121\times 10^{-9}\ C

Let n is the number of excess electrons are on that plate. Using the quantization of charges, the total charge on the negative plate is given by :

Q=ne

e is the charge on electron

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}

n=\dfrac{121\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

n=7.5625\times 10^{11}

or

n = 756.25 giga electrons

So, there are 756.25 giga electrons are on the plate. Hence, this is the required solution.

Suppose our experimenter repeats his experiment on a planet more massive than Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is g
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ massive planet be a = 30 m/s^2

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ earth be g = 30 m/s^2

Solution:

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration a on massive planet is:

                                 t = v / a

                                 t = v / 30

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration g on earth is:

                                 t = v / g

                                 t = v / 9.81

- Hence, we can see the average time taken by the ball on massive planet is less than that on earth to reach back to its initial position. Hence, option C
