Λ = c/f; where λ is the wavelength, c is the velocity (3.0 ×10^8 m/s) and f is the frequency of the wave.
Therefore; λ1 = (2.99792×10^8)/5.5×10^5)
                      =  545.5 m
                   λ2 = (2.99792×10^8)/1.6×10^6
                       = 187.5 m
Therefore; the shortest wavelength is 187.5 m

Dissolving common salt in water is physical or chemical change?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Physical

Explanation: There are no changes being done to the salt. Think of it this way, if you dissolve the salt in water then boil the water completely, you will have the same salt you started with.

A 12.0 μF capacitor is charged to a potential of 50.0 V and then discharged through a 265 Ω resistor. A)How long does the capaci
larisa [96]

(a) The time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms.

(b) The time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its charge</h3>

q(t) = q₀e-^(t/RC)

q(t)/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5q₀/q₀ = e-^(t/RC)

0.5 = e-^(t/RC)

1/2 =  e-^(t/RC)

t/RC = ln(2)

t = RC x ln(2)

t = (12 x 10⁻⁶ x 265) x ln(2)

t = 2.2 x 10⁻³ s

t = 2.2 ms

<h3>Time taken to loose half of its stored energy</h3>

U(t) = Ue-^(t/RC)

U = ¹/₂Q²/C

(Ue-^(t/RC))²/2C = Q₀²/2Ce

e^(2t/RC) = e

2t/RC = 1

t = RC/2

t = (265 x 12 x 10⁻⁶)/2

t = 1.59 x 10⁻³ s

t = 1.59 ms

Thus, the time for the capacitor to loose half its charge is 2.2 ms and the time for the capacitor to loose half its energy is 1.59 ms.

Inessa [10]

One of the main uses of this device is to test a beam of charged particles

What is cathode ray tube?

The cathode ray tube determines the charge flowing in a gas. When an electric field is set up using metal electrodes, the cathode ray tends to bend towards the positive electrode.

This concludes that a charge and the electrodes present helps determine the charge of the beam of charged particle.

Thus, one of the main uses of this device is to test a beam of charged particles.
