Answer:

R = 1.79*10^6 Ω

C = 2.46*10^-6 F

Explanation:

Given

emf of the source, ε = 120 V

Current passing through the resistor, I = 6.7*10^-5 A

Time constant for the circuit, τ = 4.4 s

From the information above, we can say that RC = 4.4 s

Also, on applying the loop rule, we get

ε - IR = 0

ε = IR

R = ε / I

R = 120 / 6.7*10^-5

R = 1.79*10^6 Ω

Using the first equation, we can thus solve for C

RC = 4.4 s

C = 4.4 / R

C = 4.4 / 1.79*10^6

C = 2.46*10^-6 F

C = 2.46 μF

Therefore, the resistance and capacitance of the capacitor is respectively, 1.79 MΩ and 2.46 μF

Answer:

Resistance = 1.791 x 10^(6) Ω

Capacitance = 2.46 x 10^(-6) F

Explanation:

We are given;

EMF; E = 120V

Current; I = 6.7 × 10^(−5) A

Time constant; τ = 4.4 s

Now, just after the circuit is completed, the capacitor acts like a wire and thus we use the loop rule;

So,

E - IR = 0

Let's make the resistance R the subject.

R = E/I = 120/(6.7 × 10^(−5)) = 1.791 x 10^(6) Ω

Now formula for time constant is given as;

τ = RC

Where C is capacitance.

Thus, C = τ/R = 4.4/(1.791 x 10^(6))

C = 2.46 x 10^(-6) F

Which wave lies adjacent to the low frequency portion of the visible spectrum
fgiga [73]

Answer: b. infrared

Explanation:

The visible light with the smaller frequency is associated with the color red.

While the blue is the one with the larger frequency.

Now, as the name says, infrared waves are the ones with a frequency just below the one of the red visible light.

Where the frequency of the red light is something around (4.3*10^14 Hz)

and the frequency of the infrared waves is in the range between (10^12 Hz and 10^14 Hz)

Then the correct option is b, infrared.
