Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?

Physics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are inv
PolarNik [594]

Complete Question

An oil tanker has collided with a smaller vessel, resulting in an oil spill in a large, calm-water bay of the ocean. You are investigating the environmental effects of the accident and need to know the area of the spill. The tanker captain informs you that 18000 liters of oil have escaped and that the oil has an index of refraction of n = 1.1. The index of refraction of the ocean water is 1.33. From the deck of your ship you note that in the sunlight the oil slick appears to be blue. A spectroscope confirms that the dominant wavelength from the surface of the spill is 485 nm. Assuming a uniform thickness, what is the largest total area oil slick

Answer:

The  largest total area of the oil slick  A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The volume of oil the escaped is  V  = 18000 \ L

    The refractive index of oil is n_o = 1.1

     The refractive index of water is n_w = 1.33

      The wavelength of the light  is \lambda = 485 \ nm =  485 * 10^{-9} \ m

         

Generally the thickness of the oil for condition of constructive interference between the oil and the water is mathematically represented as

          d = m *\frac{\lambda}{2n_w}

Where is the order of interference of the light and it value ranges from 1, 2, 3,...n

It is usually take as 1 unless stated otherwise by the question

substituting value

      d = 1 * \frac{485 *10^{-9}}{2 * 1.1}    

      d = 218 nm    

The are can be mathematically evaluated as

        A = \frac{V}{d}

Substituting values

        A = \frac{18000}{218*10^{-8}}

        A = 8.257 *10^{9} \ m^2

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

c is the speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.

If a Styrofoam ball and a steel ball are the exact same size & shape,which has more mass?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Steel

Explanation:

Mass is density times volume.

m = ρV

Since they have the same size and shape, they have the same volume.

Steel has a higher density than Styrofoam, so at the same volume, the steel ball will have more mass.

What is the frequency of orange light is it has a wavelength of 6.2 x 10^-6<br> meters?
Tanya [424]

λ=v/f

λ-wavelength

v-speed

f-frequency

we have the wavelength(6.2 x 10^-6meters) and we use the speed of light which is equal to 3*10^8m/s

6.2*10^-6m=3*10^8m/s/f

f=(3*10^8m/s)/(6.2*10^-6)≈0.48*10^14Hz
