Answer:

The peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m

Explanation:

Given;

power of the laser, P = 1.0 mW = 1 x 10⁻³ W

Radius of the beam, R = 1.0 mm = 1 x 10⁻³ m

Area of the beam = πr² = π(1 x 10⁻³ )² = 3.142 x 10⁻⁶ m²

The average intensity of the light = P / A

The average intensity of the light = ( 1 x 10⁻³) / (3.142 x 10⁻⁶)

The average intensity of the light = 318.27 W/m²

The peak value of the electric field is given by;

$E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2I_{avg}}{c\epsilon_o}}\\\\E_o = \sqrt{\frac{2(318.27)}{(3*10^8)(8.85*10^{-12})}}\\\\E_o = 489.64 \ V/m$

Therefore, the peak value of the electric field is 489.64 V/m.

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a) 0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b) r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} }$

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Multiply and divide by $r1^{2}$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ x $\frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }$

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 $\pi$ $r^{2}$ = $\frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }$

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = $\frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

As we know from above, that:

$\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Then, Similarly,

$\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ = (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

So,

E = $\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$ + $\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2} }$

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x $r1^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ ) + (σ2 x $r2^{2}$ ) /( $E_{0}$ x $r^{2}$ )

Now, for

d) Under what conditions, E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x $r1^{2}$ = - σ2 x $r2^{2}$

A teacher discusses a scientific theory that has been in place for almost a century. which would present the greatest challenge

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

vovangra [49]

Answer

Hi,

In a chemical equation, chemicals that react are the reactants, while chemicals that are produced are the products/by products. Both sides of the equation must be balanced.

Explanation

When writing a chemical equation, reactants reacts to produce products. For example in the equation for formation of water, hydrogen combines with oxygen as 2H₂ +O₂→2H₂O where the first part before the arrow represent the reactants and the next part after the arrow are the products. Reactants are on the left where as products are on the right.Coefficient 2, in this cases is used for balancing the equation.

Good luck!
