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.

A string of 26 identical Christmas tree lights are connected in series to a 120 V source. The string dissipates 73 W. What is th

spin [16.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Ohm's law and Electric Power. By Ohm's law we know that resistance is equivalent to,

$R_{eq}= \frac{V}{I}$

Here,

V = Voltage

I = Current

While the power is equivalent to the product between the current and the voltage, thus solving for the current we have,

$P=VI \rightarrow I = \frac{P}{V}$

$I =0.608 A$

Applying Ohm's law

$R_{eq} = \frac{120V}{0.608A}$

$R_{eq} = 197.4\Omega$

Therefore the equivalent resistance of the light string is $197.4\Omega$

Anni [7]

Answer:

$I=38.181\ A$ is the current through the body of the man.

$E=34.5\ J$ energy dissipated.

Explanation:

Given:

time for which the current lasted, $t=43\times 10^{-6}\ s$

potential difference between the feet, $V=21000\ V$

resistance between the feet, $R=550\ \Omega$

<u>Now, from the Ohm's law we have:</u>

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

$I=\frac{21000}{550}$

$I=38.181\ A$ is the current through the body of the man.

<u>Energy dissipated in the body:</u>

$E=I^2.R.t$

$E=38.181^2\times 550\times 43\times 10^{-6}$

$E=34.5\ J$
