Answer:

Shorter than(?)

Explanation:

What is it that you're looking for here? Is it just some random fill in the blank question?

My guess is that the horizontal distance has to be shorter than that of the ladder length because if it wasn't then the ladder would be laying down or maybe standing straight up... and you can't really use it normally like that... I'm sorry, where is the Physics in this question exactly?

A proton with a velocity in the positive x-direction enters a region where there is a uniform magnetic field B in the positive y
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Negative z-direction

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand the direction of the magnetic force on the proton. This can be determined by using the right hand rule. So we have:

- index finger: direction of the proton, positive x-direction

- middle finger: direction of magnetic field, positive y-direction

- thumb: direction of the force, positive z-direction

In order to balance this magnetic force, the electric force must act in the opposite direction (negative z direction). Since for a proton (positive charge) the force and the electric field have same direction, it means that the electric field must also be in the negative z direction.

A beam of unpolarized light with a power of 1.0 mW passes through two ideal linear polarizers in series. An ideal polarizerabsor
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

the axes of the two polarizers are aligned, the angle between this axis must be zero

Explanation:

Polarizers are anisotropic systems where absorption is selective in each axis, in this case they indicate that on an axis they let 100% pass and perpendicular to this axis no light passes.

  The first polarizer defines a direction of light that of its axis, it is said that the light is polarized, when this light reaches the second polarized, so that it can pass the axis must be in the direction of the polarized beam.

In summary, the axes of the two polarizers are aligned, the angle between this axis must be zero

A light wave has a 670 nm wavelength in air. Its wavelength in a transparent solid is 420 nm.? What is the speed of light in thi
attashe74 [19]
The frequency of a beam of light does not change as it passes from a medium to another, only its wavelength and speed are affected. The experimental speed of light in air is:
3  * 10^8 m/s
Therefore, the frequency of this beam of light is:
v = fλ; where v is speed, f is frequency, and λ is the wavelength. The frequency thus is:
3×10⁸ / (670 × 10⁻⁹) = 4.48 × 10¹⁴ Hz
The frequency will remain the same in the solid medium
The speed will then become:
4.48 × 10¹⁴ × 420 × 10⁻⁹ = 1.88 × 10⁸ meters per second
