What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter?

2 answers:

5 0

Electromagnetic radiation is one of the many ways that energy travels through space. The heat from a burning fire, the light from the sun, the X-rays used by your doctor, as well as the energy used to cook food in a microwave are all forms of electromagnetic radiation. While these forms of energy might seem quite different from one another, they are related in that they all exhibit wavelike properties.

Answer:

When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected.

For a wire has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.23mm.

Mila [183]

Answer:

$5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

Decrease

Explanation:

I = Current = 3.7 A

e = Charge of electron = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

n = Conduction electron density in copper = $8.49\times 10^{28}\ electrons/m^3$

$v_d$ = Drift velocity of electrons

r = Radius = 1.23 mm

Current is given by

$I=neAv_d\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}\\\Rightarrow v_d=\dfrac{3.7}{8.49\times 10^{28}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times \pi (1.23\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow v_d=5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

The drift speed of the electrons is $5.731\times 10^{-5}\ m/s$

$v_d=\dfrac{I}{neA}$

From the equation we can see the following

$v_d\propto \dfrac{1}{n}$

So, if the number of conduction electrons per atom is higher than that of copper the drift velocity will decrease.

Consider the following distribution of objects: a 2.00-kg object with its center of gravity at (0, 0) m, a 2.20-kg object at (0,

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

body position 4 is (-1,133, -1.83)

Explanation:

The concept of center of gravity is of great importance since in this all external forces are considered applied, it is defined by

x_cm = 1 /M ∑ $x_{i}$ m_{i}

y_cm = 1 /M ∑ y_{i} mi

Where M is the total mass of the body, mi is the mass of each element

give us the mass and position of this masses

body 1

m1 = 2.00 ka

x1 = 0 me

y1 = 0 me

body 2

m2 = 2.20 kg

x2 = 0m

y2 = 5 m

body 3

m3 = 3.4 kg

x3 = 2.00 m

y3 = 0

body 4

m4 = 6 kg

x4=?

y4=?

mass center position

x_cm = 0

y_cm = 0

let's apply to the equations of the initial part

X axis

M = 2.00 + 2.20 + 3.40

M = 7.6 kg

0 = 1 / 7.6 (2 0 + 2.2 0 + 3.4 2 + 6 x4)

x4 = -6.8 / 6

x4 = -1,133 m

Axis y

0 = 1 / 7.6 (2 0 + 2.20 5 +3.4 0 + 6 y4)

y4 = -11/6

y4 = -1.83 m

body position 4 is (-1,133, -1.83)

Calculate the change in length of a Pyrex glass dish (Coefficient of linear expansion for Pyrex is 3 * 10-6 / oC) that is 0.25 m

DIA [1.3K]

9* $10^{-5}$ m

Explanation:

Step 1:

We are given the initial length of the Pyrex glass dish at a particular temperature and need to calculate the change in the length when the temperature changes by 120° C. The coefficient of linear expansion of Pyrex is provided.

Step 2:

Change in length = Coefficient of linear expansion * Change in temperature * Initial length

Step 3:

Coefficient of linear expansion = 3* $10^{-6}$ /°C

Change in temperature = 120°C = 120 K

Initial length = 0.25 m

Step 4:

Change in length = 3* $10^{-6}$ * 120 * 0.25 = 9* $10^{-5}$ m
