Does a neutrally charged object even have a charge?

2 answers:

“Charged objects have an imbalance of charge - either more negative electrons than positive protons or vice versa. And neutral objects have a balance of charge - equal numbers of protons and electrons. The principle stated earlier for atoms can be applied to objects. Objects with more electrons than protons are charged negatively; objects with fewer electrons than protons are charged positively.

In this discussion of electrically charged versus electrically neutral objects, the neutron has been neglected. Neutrons, being electrically neutral play no role in this unit. Their presence (or absence) will have no direct bearing upon whether an object is charged or uncharged. Their role in the atom is merely to provide stability to the nucleus.”

Hope this helps a bit.

The intensity of sunlight falling on the earth is about 1.4 kw/m2 (before any gets absorbed by our atmosphere). at what rate doe

xxTIMURxx [149]

The area of the Earth (Ae) that is irradiated by is given by:

Ae = 4πRe^2, where Re = Distance from Sun to Earth
Substituting;
Ae = 4π*(1.5*10^8*1000)^2 = 2.827*10^23 m^2

On the Earth, insolation (We) = Psun/Ae

Therefore,
Psun (Rate at which sun emits energy) = We*Ae = 1.4*2.827*10^23 = 3.958*10^23 kW = 3.958*10^26 W

What is the frequency of blue light that has a wavelength of 446 nm?

Maslowich

When I went through with the math, the answer I came upon was:
6.67 X 10^14 

Here is how I did it: First of all we need to know the equation. 

c=nu X lamda 
(speed of light) = (frequency)(wavelength) 
(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(450nm) 

We want the answer in meters so we need to convert 450nm to meters. 
450nm= 4.5 X 10^ -7 m 
(3.0 X 10^8 m/s) = (frequency)(4.5 X 10^ -7 m) 

Divide the speed of light by the wavelength. 
(3.0 X 10^8m/s) / (4.5 X 10^ -7m) =6.67 X 10^ 14 per second or s- 

Answer: 6.67 X 10^14 s- hope this helps
