Why do light waves move faster than sound waves?

1 answer:

3 0

One ray of light is typically called a photon, and it's an electromagnetic disturbance. Light doesn't need a medium to travel. The speed of sound through air is about 340 meters per second. It's faster through water, and it's even faster through steel.

Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at one corner of a square 2.42 m on a side if the other three corners are occupied

Karolina [17]

Ans:

12500 N/C

Explanation:

Side of square, a = 2.42 m

q = 4.25 x 10^-6 C

The formula for the electric field is given by

$E = \frac{Kq}{r^2}$

where, K be the constant = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/c^2 and r be the distance between the two charges

According to the diagram

BD = $\sqrt{2}\times a$

where, a be the side of the square

So, Electric field at B due to charge at A

$E_{A}=\frac{Kq}{a^2}$

$E_{A}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times 4.25 \times 10^{-6}}{2.42^2}$

EA = 6531.32 N/C

Electric field at B due to charge at C

$E_{C}=\frac{Kq}{a^2}$

$E_{C}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times 4.25 \times 10^{-6}}{2.42^2}$

Ec = 6531.32 N/C

Electric field at B due to charge at D

$E_{D}=\frac{Kq}{2a^2}$

$E_{D}=\frac{9\times10^{9}\times 4.25 \times 10^{-6}}{2\times 2.42^2}$

ED = 3265.66 N/C

Now resolve the components along X axis and Y axis

Ex = EA + ED Cos 45 = 6531.32 + 3265.66 x 0.707 = 8840.5 N/C

Ey = Ec + ED Sin 45 = 6531.32 + 3265.66 x 0.707 = 8840.5 N/C

The resultant electric field at B is given by

$E=\sqrt{E_{x}^{2}+E_{y}^{2}}$

$E=\sqrt{8840.5^{2}+8840.5^{2}}$

E = 12500 N/C

Clothes in a dryer acquire static cling by

Gnoma [55]

<span>The answer is friction. The force acting upon the comparative motion of solid surfaces, liquid layers, and material elements sliding in contradiction of each other. When sides in contact move comparative to each other, the friction amid the two surfaces changes kinetic energy into thermal energy; in other words work to heat. </span>
