Where is visible light located on the electromagnetic spectrum and why?

1 answer:

5 0

Radio waves, gamma-rays, visible light, and all the other parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic ... The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons.

A neutron star has a mass of between 1.4-2.8 solar masses compressed to the size of:

BARSIC [14]

The correct answer is D. An average city

Explanation:

A neutron star differs from others due to its massive density, this means a lot of matter is compressed in a small area. Indeed, neutron stars have a mass of around 1.4 to 2.8 times the mass of the sun. But these are considerably small as they only measure around 20 kilometers, which is the size of an average city. Additionally, neutron stars are this dense because they are the result of a regular star exploding, which leads to a super-dense core, or neutron star. In this context, the mass of a neutron star is compressed to the size of an average city.

A uniformly charged ring of radius 10.0 cm has a total charge of 75.0 mC. Find the electric field on the axis of the ring at (a)

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(a) 6650246.305 N/C

(b) 24150268.34 N/C

(c) 6408227.848 N/C

(d) 665024.6305 N/C

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the ring (r) = 10.0 cm = 0.10 m [1 cm = 0.01 m]

Total charge of the ring (Q) = 75.0 μC = $75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ [1 μC = 10⁻⁶ C]

Electric field on the axis of the ring of radius 'r' at a distance of 'x' from the center of the ring is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{kQx}{(x^2+r^2)^\frac{3}{2}}$

Plug in the given values for each point and solve.

(a)

Given:

$Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ , $r=0.01\ m, a=1.00\ cm=0.01\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.01)}{((0.01)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{6750}{1.015\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=6650246. 305\ N/C$

(b)

Given:

$Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ , $r=0.01\ m, a=5.00\ cm=0.05\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.05)}{((0.05)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{33750}{1.3975\times 10^{-3}}\\\\E_x=24150268.34\ N/C$

(c)

Given:

$Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ , $r=0.01\ m, a=30.0\ cm=0.30\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(0.30)}{((0.30)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{202500}{0.0316}\\\\E_x=6408227.848\ N/C$

(d)

Given:

$Q=75\times 10^{-6}\ \mu C$ , $r=0.01\ m, a=100\ cm=1\ m,k=9\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Electric field is given as:

$E_x=\dfrac{(9\times 10^{9})(75\times 10^{-6})(1)}{((1)^2+(0.1)^2)^\frac{3}{2}}\\\\E_x=\dfrac{675000}{1.015}\\\\E_x=665024.6305\ N/C$

Which option best describes electromagnetic waves that have enough energy to change atoms or molecules into ions?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.
