Answer:

it's acceleration is 0

Explanation:

since it is travelling at a constant speed it is not accelerating so its acceleration is 0

To solve this exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Difference in Phase.

The Difference in phase is given by

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}$

Where

$\delta =$ Horizontal distance between two points

$\lambda =$ Wavelength

From our values we have,

$\lambda = 500nm = 5*10^{-6}m$

$\theta = 1\°$

The horizontal distance between this two points would be given for

$\delta = dsin\theta$

Therefore using the equation we have

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi \delta}{\lambda}$

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi(dsin\theta)}{\lambda}$

$\Phi = \frac{2\pi(5*!0^{-6}sin(1))}{500*10^{-9}}$

$\Phi= 1.096 rad \approx = 1.1 rad$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

dedylja [7]

According to Newton's second law

E.e = a * mp ..... (1)

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field; e = 1.6 * 10^-19 is the elementary charge; mp = 1.67*10^-27 kg is the proton mass; a is the acceleration.

So, the distance

l = at^2/2 .......(2)

The proton accelerated

a = 2l / t^2 ...........(3)

From equations (1) and (3)

E= 32.51 V/m

Electric field

The physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on all other charged particles in the field, either attracting or repelling them, is known as an electric field (also known as an E-field). It can also refer to a system of charged particles' physical field. Electric charges and time-varying electric currents are the building blocks of electric fields. The electromagnetic field, one of the four fundamental interactions (also known as forces) of nature, manifests itself in both electric and magnetic fields.

Define the reflection with diagram

LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

The incident light ray which lands upon the surface is said to be reflected off the surface. The ray that bounces back is called the reflected ray. If a perpendicular were to be drawn on reflecting surface, it would be called normal. The figure below shows the reflection of an incident beam on a plane mirror.

In si units, the electric field in an electromagnetic wave is described by ey = 104 sin(1.40 107x − ωt). (a) find the amplitude

melamori03 [73]

Answers:
(a) $B_o = 0.3466$ μT
(b) $\lambda = 0.4488$ μm
(c) f = $6.68 * 10^{14}Hz$

Explanation:
Given electric field(in y direction) equation:
$E_y = 104sin(1.40 * 10^7 x -\omega t)$

(a) The amplitude of electric field is $E_o = 104$ . Hence

The amplitude of magnetic field oscillations is $B_o = \frac{E_o}{c}$
Where c = speed of light

Therefore,
$B_o = \frac{104}{3*10^8} = 0.3466$ μT (Where T is in seconds--signifies the oscillations)

(b) To find the wavelength use:
$\frac{2 \pi }{\lambda} = 1.40 * 10^7$
$\lambda = \frac{2 \pi}{1.40} * 10^{-7}$
$\lambda = 0.4488$ μm

(c) Since c = fλ
=> f = c/λ

Now plug-in the values
f = (3*10^8)/(0.4488*10^-6)
f = $6.68 * 10^{14}Hz$
