Light is a very complex phenomenon, but in many situations its behavior can be understood with a simple model based on rays and wave fronts. A ray is a thin beam of light that travels in a straight line. A wave front is the line (not necessarily straight) or surface connecting all the light that left a source at the same time. For a source like the Sun, rays radiate out in all directions; the wave fronts are spheres centered on the Sun. If the source is a long way away, the wave fronts can be treated as parallel lines.

Rays and wave fronts can generally be used to represent light when the light is interacting with objects that are much larger than the wavelength of light, which is about 500 nm. In particular, we'll use rays and wave fronts to analyze how light interacts with mirrors and lenses.

Mashcka [7]

a)

• P = F/A

P = pressure = 630 N/m^2

F = force

A = area

F = mg = 0.50 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.9 N

m= mass

g= gravity

P = F/A

A = F/P

A = 4.9 N / 630 N/m^2 = 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b)

• Area of a circle = pi* radius ^2

7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 = pi* radius ^2

√(7.778 x 10^-3 m^2 / pi ) = radius

radius = 0.04976 m

Answers:

a ) 7.778 x 10^-3 m^2

b) 0.04976 m

Determine the elastic energy U stored in<br> the compressed spring.
hoa [83]

Answer:

Answer: The spring constant of the spring is k = 800 N/m, and the potential energy is U = 196 J. To find the distance, rearrange the equation: The equation to find the distance the spring has been compressed is therefore: The spring has been compressed 0.70 m, which resulted in an elastic potential energy of U = 196 J being stored.

Find the current if 55 C of charge pass a particular point in a circuit in 5 seconds.
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

<em>The current is 11 Amperes</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Current</u>

The electric current is defined as a stream of charged particles that move through a conductive path.

The current intensity can be calculated as:

\displaystyle I=\frac{Q}{t}

Where:

Q = Electric charge

t   = Time taken by the charge to move through the conductor

The current intensity is often measured in Amperes.

The charge passing through a point in a circuit is Q= 55 c during t=5 seconds, thus the current intensity is:

\displaystyle I=\frac{55}{5}

I = 11 Amp

The current is 11 Amperes

How many watts are used when 6000 joules of energy are consumed in 5 hours?
Ray Of Light [21]
Power = energy / time
Time should be in seconds
5 hours = 5 × 60 minutes = 5 × 60 ×60 seconds = 18000 s
Power = 6000/18000 = 0.333 W

Hope it helped!
