Answer:

Red light has longer wavelength, while blue light has higher frequency

Explanation:

Red light and blue light corresponds to two different portion of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The two colors have different wavelengths - more precisely:

Blue: 450 - 500 nm

Red: 620 - 750 nm

So, we see that red light has a longer wavelength than blue light.

Moreover, the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, f, is inversely proportional to the wavelength, $\lambda$ :

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

where c is the speed of light. This means that blue light, which has a shorter wavelength, has a higher frequency than red light.

Two point charges each have a value of 3.0 c and are separated by a distance of 4.0 m. what is the electric field at a point mid

swat32

<span>Place a test charge in the middle. It is 2cm away from each charge.
The electric field E= F/Q where F is the force at the point and Q is the charge causing the force in this point.
The test charge will have zero net force on it. The left 30uC charge will push it to the right and the right 30uC charge will push it to the left. The left and right force will equal each other and cancel each other out.
THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION.
THe electric field exactly midway between them = 0/Q = 0.
But if the point moves even slightly you need the following formula
F= (1/4Piε)(Q1Q2/D^2)
Assume your test charge is positive and make sure you remember two positive charges repel, two unlike charges attract. Draw the forces on the test charge out as vectors and find the magnetude of the force, then divide by the total charge to to find the electric field strength:)</span>

A mass is attached to a spring with an unknown spring constant. The spring gains 10 J of elastic potential energy if stretched b

Firlakuza [10]

From the given information in the question, the correct option is Option 1: 14 cm.

A non-stretched elastic spring has a conserved potential energy which gives it the ability to perform work. The elastic potential energy can be expressed as:

PE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k $x^{2}$

Where PE is the energy, k is the spring constant and x is extension.

i. Given that: PE = 10 J and x = 10 cm, then;

PE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k $x^{2}$

10 = $\frac{1}{2}$ k $10^{2}$

20 = 100k

k = 0.2 J/cm

ii. To determine how far the spring is needed to be stretched, given that PE = 20 J.

PE = $\frac{1}{2}$ k $x^{2}$

20 = $\frac{1}{2}$ (0.2) $x^{2}$

40 = 0.2 $x^{2}$

$x^{2}$ = 200

x = $\sqrt{200}$

= 14.1421

x = 14.14 cm

So that;

x is approximately 14.00 cm.

Thus, the spring need to be stretched to 14.00 cm to give the spring 20 J of elastic potential energy.
