Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all

1 answer:

7 0

Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract

Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

Define thermopile and peltiers??

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Thermopile is an electronic device that converts thermal energy into electrical energy.

A Peltier cooler, heater, or thermoelectric heat pump is a solid-state active heat pump which transfers heat from one side of the device to the other, with consumption of electrical energy, depending on the direction of the current.

Point charges q1 = 14 µC and q2 = −60 µC are fixed at r1 = (5.0î − 4.0ĵ) m and r2 = (9.0î + 7.5ĵ) m. What is the force (in N) of

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Explanation:

F₂₁ = $\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|}$

Where;

F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂

K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r₂₁ is the unit vector

|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector

|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one

|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two

r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)

|r₂₁| = $\sqrt{(4^2)+(11.5^2)} = \sqrt{148.25}$

(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

$F_2_1=\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|} = \frac{8.99X10^9(14X10^{-6})(60X10^{-6})}{148.25}.\frac{(4i + 11.5j)}{\sqrt{148.25} }$

= 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N

= (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N
