How is light described?

Physics

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.

If the electron just misses the upper plate as it emerges from the field, find the magnitude of the electric field.
Damm [24]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

Explanation:

As data is incomplete here, so by seeing the complete question from the search the data is

vx_0=1.1 x 10^6

ax=0 As acceleration is zero in the horizontal axis so

Equation of motion in horizontal direction is given as

s_x=v_x_0 t

t=\frac{s_x}{v_x}\\t=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2}}{1.1 \times 6}\\t=1.82 \times 10^{-8} s

Now for the vertical distance

vy_o=0

than the equation of motion becomes

s_y=v_y_0 t+\frac{1}{2} at^2\\s_y=\frac{1}{2} at^2\\0.5 \times 10^{-2}=\frac{1}{2} a(1.82 \times 10^{-8})^2\\a=3.02 \times 10^{13} m/s^2

Now using this acceleration the value of electric field is calculated as

E=\frac{F}{q}\\E=\frac{ma}{q}\\E=\frac{m_ea}{q_e}\\

Here a is calculated above, m is the mass of electron while q is the charge of electron, substituting values in the equation

E=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31} \times 3.02 \times 10^{13} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\\E=171.76 N/C

So the magnitude of the electric field be 171.76 N/C so that the electron misses the plate.

2 objects have a total momentum of 400kg m/s, they collide. Object A’s mass is5kg & object B’s mass is 11kg. After the colli
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply law of conservation of momentum .

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision .

Momentum before collision = 400 kg m/s

Momentum after collision = 5  x v + 11 x 15

where v is velocity of A after the collision .

5  x v + 11 x 15 = 400

5 v = 400 - 165

5v = 235

v = 47 m /s .

Explain why gravity is the only force acting on a falling ball
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Gravity is the only force acting on a falling ball because of free fall. Since gravity is unbalanced it accelerates an object and the velocity increases as an object falls due to gravity pushing it. The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s^2.

If you double the wavelength, the electromagnetic radiation energy will double. The energy of the electromagnetic radiation will
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

It's energy will double.

Explanation:

This is because energy, E, is related to frequency, f, by:

E = hf

Where h = Planck's constant

So, double frequency will be 2f

=> E(2f) = 2hf = 2E.

Hence, energy is doubled.

At what condition do a coin and feather fall together​
Ronch [10]

Answer:

A feature and a coin dropped from the same height falls at the same speed at the condition at free fall,both coin and feature gain same acceleration of 9.8m/s^2.
