True or false Earth's magnetic fields are a caused by activity at the poles.

Physics

Rama09 [41]3 years ago
6 0

Earth's magnetic field, also known as the geomagnetic field, is the magnetic field that extends from the Earth's interior out into space, where it interacts with the solar wind, a stream of charged particles emanating from the Sun. The magnetic field is generated by electric currents due to the motion of convection currents of a mixture of molten iron and nickel in the Earth's outer core: these convection currents are caused by heat escaping from the core, a natural process called a geodynamo. The magnitude of the Earth's magnetic field at its surface ranges from 25 to 65 μT (0.25 to 0.65 gauss). As an approximation, it is represented by a field of a magnetic dipole currently tilted at an angle of about 11 degrees with respect to Earth's rotational axis, as if there were an enormous bar magnet placed at that angle through the center of the Earth. The North geomagnetic pole actually represents the South pole of the Earth's magnetic field, and conversely the South geomagnetic pole corresponds to the north pole of Earth's magnetic field (because opposite magnetic poles attract and the north end of a magnet, like a compass needle, points toward the Earth's South magnetic field, i.e., the North geomagnetic pole near the Geographic North Pole). As of 2015, the North geomagnetic pole was located on Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada.

Infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on Earth
liberstina [14]

Answer:

λ = 1.86 x 10⁻⁴ m = 186 μm

Explanation:

The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by the following equation:

c = f\lambda\\\\\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

where,

λ = wavelength of infrared radiation = ?

c = speed of infrared radiation = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of infrared radiation = 1.61 THz = 1.61 x 10¹² Hz

Therefore,

\lambda = \frac{3\ x\ 10^8\ m/s}{1.61\ x\ 10^{12}\ Hz}

<u>λ = 1.86 x 10⁻⁴ m = 186 μm</u>

Ampere is a fundamental unit why?​
stepan [7]

Answer:

The ampere was chosen as a base unit, because it is easily measured whereas the coloumb is not. Interestingly, there is a move a foot to redefine the ampere (which will remain a base unit) in terms of the fundamental charge on an electron (not in terms of coulomb).
