I think the correct answer would be that because electromagnets are powerful and can be turned off and on anytime. Electromagnet is a magnet in which the magnetic field is made by the electric current that is induced to the system.

A hydrogen discharge lamp emits light with two prominent wavelengths: 656 nm (red) and 486 nm (blue). The light enters a flint-g

mezya [45]

Answer:

The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of red = 656 nm

Wavelength of blue = 486 nm

Angle = 37°

Suppose we need to find the angle between the red and blue light as it leaves the prism

$n_{r}=1.572$

$n_{b}=1.587$

We need to calculate the angle for red wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{r}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.572\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{r}$

$\theta_{r}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.572\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{r}=71.0^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle for blue wavelength

Using Snell's law,

$n_{b}\sin\theta_{i}=n_{a}\sin\theta_{b}$

Put the value into the formula

$1.587\sin37=1\times\sin\theta_{b}$

$\theta_{b}=\sin^{-1}(\dfrac{1.587\sin37}{1})$

$\theta_{b}=72.7^{\circ}$

We need to calculate the angle between the red and blue light

Using formula of angle

$\Delta \theta=\theta_{b}-\theta_{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta \theta=72.7-71.0$

$\Delta \theta=1.7^{\circ}$

Hence, The angle between the red and blue light is 1.7°.

A dentist uses a concave mirror (focal length 2.5 cm) to examine some teeth. If the distance from the object to the mirror is 1.

AysviL [449]

Answer:

2.28

Explanation:

From mirror formula,

1/f = 1/u+1/v .......... Equation 1

Where f = focal length of the mirror, v = image distance, u = object distance.

Note: The focal length mirror is positive.

make v the subject of the equation,

v = fu/(u-f)............ Equation 2

Given: f = 2.5 cm, u = 1.4 cm

Substitute into equation 2

v = 2.5(1.4)/(1.4-2.5)

v = 3.5/-1.1

v = -3.2 cm.

Note: v is negative because it is a virtual image.

But,

Magnification = image distance/object distance

M = v/u

Where M = magnification.

Given: v = 3.2 cm, u = 1.4 cm

M = 3.2/1.4

M = 2.28.

Thus the magnification of the tooth = 2.28.

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in thomson's beams

hoa [83]

The best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams is:

<u>An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Thomson's model, an atom comprises of electrons that are surrounded by a group of positive particles to equal the electron's negative particles, like negatively charged “plums” that are surrounded by positively charged “pudding”.

Atoms are composed of a nucleus that consists of protons and neutrons . Electron was discovered by Sir J.J.Thomson. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

atoms are spheres of positive charge
electrons are dotted around inside

Thomson's conclusions made him to propose the Rutherford model of the atom where the atom had a concentrated nucleus of positive charge and also large mass.
