Radio waves are electromagnetic waves so therefore they can travel long distances in a vacuum. Sound waves are mechanical waves so they can’t not travel in the absence of a medium.

Calculate the number of images formed by two plane mirrors inclined at angel of 18 to each other
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

please give me brainlist and follow

Explanation:

Formula for number of images formed by two plane mirrors incident at an angle θ is n = 360∘θ. If n is even, the number of images is n-1, if n is an odd number of images.

A plastic rod 1.3 m long is rubbed all over with wool, and acquires a charge of -3e-08 coulombs. we choose the center of the rod
Anestetic [448]
(a) The plastic rod has a length of L=1.3m. If we divide by 8, we get the length of each piece:
L/8=1.3m/8=0.1625 m

(b) The center of the rod is located at x=0. This means we have 4 pieces of the rod on the negative side of x-axis, and 4 pieces on the positive side. So, starting from x=0 and going towards positive direction, we have: piece 5, piece 6, piece 7 and piece 8. Each piece is 0.1625 m long. Therefore, the center of piece 5 is at 0.1625m/2=0.0812 m. And the center of piece 6 will be shifted by 0.1625m with respect to this:
c_6 = 0.0812m+0.1625m=0.2437 m

(c) The total charge is Q=-3 \cdot 10^{-8}C. To get the charge on each piece, we should divide this value by 8, the number of pieces:
Q/8=-3\cdot 10^{-8}C/8=-3.75\cdot 10^{-9}C

(d) We have to calculate the electric field at x=0.7 generated by piece 6. The charge on piece 6 is the value calculated at point (c):
q= -3.75\cdot 10^{-9}C
If we approximate piece 6 as a single  charge, the electric field is given by
E=k_e  \frac{q}{d^2}
where k_e=8.99\cdot 10^9Nm^2C^{-2} and d is the distance between the charge (center of piece 6, located at 0.2437m) and point a (located at x=0.7m). Therefore we have
E= 8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2} \frac{-3.75\cdot 10^9 C}{(0.2437m-0.7m)^2} =-161.9 V/m
poiting towards the center of piece 6, since the charge is negative.

(e) missing details on this question.

notsponge [240]
The can be found elsewhere and as follows:


<span>A. of magnetic effects.
B. the ball tries to pull the rod’s electrons over to it.
C. the rod polarizes the metal.
D. the rod and the ball have opposite charges. 
</span><span>
I believe the correct answer is option C. If a negatively charged rod is held near a neutral metal ball, the ball is attracted to the rod. this happens because </span>the rod polarizes the metal. Hope this answers the question.
