This chapter discusses that light sometimes acts like a photon. What is a photon?

Physics
1 answer:
Deffense [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c. a self-contained "packet" of electro-magnetic energy

Explanation:

Photon is a quantum of energy packet of electromagnetic radiation, it contains all the properties of electromagnetic radiation being the fundamental component of electromagnetic energy.  

It behaves like a wave when it propagates in a medium but transfers energy like a particle when collides with some other matter.

The parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 7.90 cm2 and an air-filled separation of 2.70 mm, are charged by a 7.90
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

A) 26V

Explanation:

(a) the potential difference between the plates

Initial capacitance can be calculated using below expresion

C1= A ε0/ d1

Where d1= distance between = 2.70 mm= 2.70× 10^-3 m

ε0= permittivity of space= 8.85× 10^-12 Fm^-1

A= area of the plate = 7.90 cm2 = 7.90 ×10^-4 m^2

If we substitute the values we

C1= A ε0/ d1

=( 7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/2.70× 10^-3

C1=2.589 ×10^-12 F= 2.59 pF

Initial charge can be determined using below expresion

q1= C1 × V1

V1=2.589 ×10^-12 F

V1= voltage=7.90 V

If we substitute we have

q1= 2.589 ×10^-12 × 7.90

q1= 20.45×10^-12C

20.45 pC

Final capacitance can be calculated as

C2= A ε0/ d2

d2=8.80 mm= /8.80× 10^-3

7.90 ×10^-4 × 8.85× 10^-12 )/8.80× 10^-3

C1=0.794 ×10^-12 F= 0.794 pF

Final charge= initial charge

q2=q1 (since the battery is disconnected)

q2=q1= 20.45 pC

Final potential difference

V2= q/C2

= 20.45/0.794

= 26V

Which of the objects below has the greatest acceleration? *
lesya692 [45]

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow F=ma

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a=\dfrac{F}{m}

Now

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a\propto\dfrac{1}{m}

\\ \bull\sf\dashrightarrow a\propto F

  • Lower mass=Higher acceleration
  • Lower Force=Lower Acceleration

Option B has lowest mass and highest force hence its correct

is dimensionally correct relation necessarily to be a correct physical relation? explain with example.​
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: hope it helps you...❤❤❤❤

Explanation: If your values have dimensions like time, length, temperature, etc, then if the dimensions are not the same then the values are not the same. So a “dimensionally wrong equation” is always false and cannot represent a correct physical relation.

No, not necessarily.

For instance, Newton’s 2nd law is  F=p˙ , or the sum of the applied forces on a body is equal to its time rate of change of its momentum. This is dimensionally correct, and a correct physical relation. It’s fine.

But take a look at this (incorrect) equation for the force of gravity:

F=−G(m+M)Mm√|r|3r  

It has all the nice properties you’d expect: It’s dimensionally correct (assuming the standard traditional value for  G ), it’s attractive, it’s symmetric in the masses, it’s inverse-square, etc. But it doesn’t correspond to a real, physical force.

It’s a counter-example to the claim that a dimensionally correct equation is necessarily a correct physical relation.

A simpler counter example is  1=2 . It is stating the equality of two dimensionless numbers. It is trivially dimensionally correct. But it is false.

Much of the energy of falling water in a waterfall is converted into heat. If all the mechanical energy is converted into heat t
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of water is converted into heat energy

P E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 111

= 1087.8 m .

Let rise in temperature θ

m x s x θ = heat absorbed

m x s x θ =  1087.8 m

m x 4182 x θ =  1087.8 m

θ = 0.26 degree celsius .
