A periodic wave travels from one medium to another. Which pair of variables are likely to change in the process? A. velocity and
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

A. velocity and wavelength

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes refraction which results to the change in direction.

Refraction of a wave is one of the property of waves that occurs when a wave changes direction when it passes from one medium to another. This occurs as a result of bending of the wave which occurs since the mediums involved are of different density and refractive index.

Apart from the change in direction, refraction is accompanied by the change in wavelength of a wave and thus a change in speed.

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).
