figure 2 shows a charged ball of mass m = 1.0 g and charage q = -24*10^-8 c suspended by massless string in the presence of a un
Vlad [161]

Answer:

E = 307667  N/C

Explanation:

Since the object's mass is 1 g, then its weight in newtons is 0.001 * 9.8 = 0.0098 N.

This weight should have the same magnitude of the vertical component of the tension T of the string (T * cos(37)) so we can find the magnitude of the tension T via:

0.0098 N = T * cos(37)

then T = 0.0098/cos(37) N = 0.01227 N

Knowing the tension's magnitude, we can find its horizontal component:

T * sin(37) = 0.007384 N

and now we can obtain the value of the electric field since we know the charge of the ball to be: -2.4 * 10^(-8) C:

0.007384 N = E * 2.4 * 10^(-8) C

Then  E = 0.007384/2.4 * 10^(-8)  N/C

E = 307667  N/C

The vitreous humor, a transparent, gelatinous fluid that fills most of the eyeball, has an index of refraction of 1.34. Visible
Leto [7]

Answer:

a)   298.5 nm ,  522.4 nm  and b)  radiation frequency does not change

Explanation:

When electromagnetic radiation reaches a medium with a different index of refraction, the medium vibrates the molecules, as if it were a resonance process, whereby the medium vibrates at the same frequency as the incident light.

On the other hand, when the light reaches another medium its average speed within the medium changes, it is now less than the speed of light in a vacuum (c) for this to happen as we saw that the frequency is constant there must be a change in the wavelength of the radiation that is characterized by the ratio

    λₙ = λ₀ / n

    λₙ = 400 nm    in the void

    λₙ = 400 / 1.34

    λₙ= 298.5 nm

   λ₀ = 700 nm

   λₙ = 700 / 1.34

   λₙ = 522.4 nm

The radiation frequency does not change

Is energy matter? Is gravity matter? Why or why not
Alja [10]

No, because the energy is the capacity for performing work. Gravity is the force that draws everything to the earth's center.
