5 0

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are waves that requires a medium for their propagation. There are two types of mechanical waves:

  • Transverse waves
  • Longitudinal waves

Transverse waves are waves that propagates perpendicularly to their source. Examples are electromagnetic waves, ripple on water etc.

Longitudinal waves are waves that propagates parallel to their source. They move in a series of rarefactions and compressions along their path. An example is seismic p-waves

A toroid with a square cross section 3.0 cm ✕ 3.0 cm has an inner radius of 25.1 cm. It is wound with 600 turns of wire, and it
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

B = 1.353 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

The Magnetic field within a toroid is given by

B = μ₀ NI/2πr, where N is the number of turns of the wire, μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current in each turn and r is the distance at which the magnetic field is to be determined from the center of the toroid.

To find r we need to add the inner radius and outer radius and divide the value by 2. Hence,

r = (a + b)/2, where a is the inner radius and b is the outer radius which can be found by adding the length of a square section to the inner radius.

b = 25.1 + 3 = 28.1 cm

a = 25.1 cm

r = (25.1 + 28.1)/2 = 26.6 cm = 0.266m

B = 4π x 10⁻⁷ x 600 x 3/2π x 0.266

B = 1.353 x 10⁻³ T

The strength of the magnetic field at the center of the square cross section is 1.3 x 10⁻³ T

You have a 35X objective lens in place, and the numerical aperture of the objective lens is 0.75. The numerical aperture of the
olasank [31]

Answer:

350x

Explanation:

In a microscope the objective has higher magnification than the eyepiece so, this is a microscope

The magnification of a microscope is given by the product of the magnifications of the eyepiece and and the objective.

Objective lens magnification = 35x =m_o

Eyepiece magnification = 10x =m_e

Total magnification

M=m_o\times m_e\\\Rightarrow M=35\times 10\\\Rightarrow M=350

Total magnification is 350x
