Answer: B. Nodes

Explanation:

Standing waves (so called because they seem to be immobile) occur when two waves interfere with the same frequency, amplitude but with different direction, along a line with a phase difference of half wavelength.

In these waves there are two types of points:

The nodes, which are points that remain motionless or stationary and do not vibrate. They are due to the destructive interference of both waves when they meet.

The antinodes, which are points that vibrate with a maximum vibration amplitude. They are due to the non-destructive interference of both waves.

Atomic physicists usually ignore the effect of gravity within an atom. To see why, we may calculate and compare the magnitude of

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_G=G\frac{m_p m_e}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$m_p$ is the proton mass

$m_e$ is the electron mass

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_G=(6.67259\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg s^{-2})\frac{(1.67262\cdot 10^{-27}kg) (9.10939\cdot 10^{-31}kg)}{(3 m)^2}=1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N$

The electrical force between the proton and the electron is given by

$F_E=k\frac{q_p q_e}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

$q_p = q_e = q$ is the elementary charge (charge of the proton and of the electron)

r = 3 m is the distance between the proton and the electron

Substituting numbers into the equation,

$F_E=(8.98755\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2})\frac{(1.602\cdot 10^{-19}C)^2}{(3 m)^2}=2.56\cdot 10^{-19}N$

So, the ratio of the electrical force to the gravitational force is

$\frac{F_E}{F_G}=\frac{2.56\cdot 10^{-19} N}{1.13\cdot 10^{-68}N}=2.27\cdot 10^{49}$

So, we see that the electrical force is much larger than the gravitational force.

Name the material used to transfer of charges from one body to other

Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

conductor

Explanation:

A "conductor" is a material that allows the charges to pass freely from one body to the other. This causes a movement among the electrons and this means that the charge will be passed entirely to the object receiving it. This is also called "conductive material."

Examples of conductors are: copper, aluminum, gold, silver, seawater, etc.

The opposite of conductors are called "insulators." These do not allow the free movement of charges from one object to the other.

Examples of insulators: plastic, rubber, paper, glass, wool, dry air, etc.
