Why do remote controls for TV’s use infrared waves to communicate?

Physics
1 answer:
Delvig [45]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:  An IR remote (also called a transmitter) uses light to carry signals from the remote to the device so it can be controlled. It emits pulses of invisible infrared light that correspond to specific binary codes. These codes represent commands, such as power on, volume up, or channel down.

A straight wire of length 0.56 m carries a conventional current of 0.4 amperes. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field made
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field made by current in the wire is 3.064 x 10⁻⁶ T.

Explanation:

Given;

length of the straight wire, L = 0.56 m

conventional current, I = 0.4 A

distance of magnetic field from the wire, r = 2.6 cm = 0.026 m

To determine magnitude of magnetic field made by current in the wire, we will apply Bio-Savart Law;

B = \frac{\mu_o}{4\pi r} \frac{LI}{\sqrt{r^2 +(L/2)^2} } \\\\B = \frac{4\pi *10^{-7}}{4\pi *0.026} \frac{0.56*0.4}{\sqrt{(0.026)^2 +(0.56/2)^2} }\\\\B = 3.846*10^{-6}(0.7966)\\\\B = 3.064*10^{-6} \ T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field made by current in the wire is 3.064 x 10⁻⁶ T.

An experiment is performed on an unknown material and produces the given heat curve. The temperature of the material is shown as
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

In the table, 1=46.7 °C, 1=165 J, 2=819 J, 3=1510 J, and 4=2830 J.

Other experiments determine that the material has a temperature of fusion of

fusion =235 °C and a temperature of vaporization of vapor=481 °C.

If the sample of material has a mass of =8.60 g, calculate the specific heat when this material is a solid, and when it is liquid, l

Problems with solar energy include _____.
german
First choice:  the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the Sun's energy

Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low.  But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.

Second choice:  the inability of current technology to store
captured solar energy

No.  We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts.  Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.

Third choice:  inconsistencies in the availability of the resource

I think this is it.  If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.

Fourth choice:  lack of demand for solar energy

If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
