There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

Establishing a potential difference The deflection plates in an oscilloscope are 10 cm by 2 cm with a gap distance of 1 mm. A 10

Answer:

$1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Vacuum permittivity = $8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}$

$A$ = Area = $10\times 2\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2$

$d$ = Distance between plates = 1 mm

$V_c$ = Changed voltage = 60 V

$V$ = Initial voltage = 100 V

$R$ = Resistance = $1000\ \Omega$

Capacitance is given by

$C=\dfrac{\epsilon_0A}{d}\\\Rightarrow C=\dfrac{8.854\times 10^{-12}\times 10\times 2\times 10^{-4}}{1\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow C=1.7708\times 10^{-11}\ \text{F}$

We have the relation

$V_c=V(1-e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}})\\\Rightarrow e^{-\dfrac{t}{CR}}=1-\dfrac{V_c}{V}\\\Rightarrow -\dfrac{t}{CR}=\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-CR\ln (1-\dfrac{V_c}{V})\\\Rightarrow t=-1.7708\times 10^{-11}\times 1000\ln(1-\dfrac{60}{100})\\\Rightarrow t=1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$

The time taken for the potential difference to reach the required level is $1.62\times 10^{-8}\ \text{s}$ .

If an object has 180 J of PE and a mass of .5kg, what is its height?

Nonamiya [84]

PE=mgh
180=0.5*10*h
180=5h
h=180/5=36 m
