- You are a coach for the Physics Olympics team participating in a competition overseas. You are given the following sample problem to present to your team of students, which you need to solve very quickly: A person is standing on the midline of a soccer field. At one end of the field, as shown in Figure P24.28, is a letter D, consisting of a semicircular metallic ring of radius R and a long straight metal rod of length 2R, the diameter of the ring. The plane of the ring is perpendicular to the ground and perpendicular to the midline of the field shown by the broken line in Figure P24.28. Because of an approaching lightning storm, the semicircular ring and the rod become charged. The ring and the rod each attain a charge Q. What is the electric potential at point P, which is at a position x along the midline of the field, measured from the center of the rod, due to the letter D? Think quickly and use all resources available to you, which include your physics textbook: yon are in competition! Figure P24.28arrow_forwardLasers can be constructed that produce an extremely high intensity electromagnetic wave for a brief time-called pulsed lasers. They are used to ignite nuclear fusion, for example. Such a lager may produce an electromagnetic wave with a maximum electric field strength of 1.001011V/m for a time of 1.00 ns. (a) What is the maximum magnetic field strength in the wave? (b) What is the intensity of the beam? (c) What energy does it deliver on a 1.00-mm2 area?arrow_forwardCertain sunglasses use a polarizing material to reduce the intensity of light reflected as glare front water or automobile windshields. What orientation should the polarizing filters haw to be most effective? (a) The polarizers should absorb light with its electric field horizontal. (b) The polarizers should absorb light with its electric field vertical. (c) The polarizers should absorb both horizontal and vertical electric fields. (d) The polarizers should not absorb either horizontal or vertical electric fields.arrow_forward
- Need answers explainedarrow_forwardWhen a point charge is traveling through vacuum, take into account the following scenarios: I. A charge traveling at a constant velocity v is suddenly stopped. II. A charge revolving around an axis r at a constant angular velocity t III. A charge travelling with constant acceleration, a = 1[m/s²] Which of the following situations will cause an electromagnetic wave to be produced by the moving charge? A. I and II B. II and III C. I and III D. I, II, and IIIarrow_forwardQuestion 3Radio waves, a type of electromagnetic wave, are emitted by an antenna, picked up by a receiver, and translated into sound waves. Electrons in the antenna oscillate creating the radio waves, and these oscillations are decoded by the receiver to create sound waves in the range of human hearing. This concept is similar to having two aluminum cans connected by a string and sound is transmitted as vibrations in the string.Which statement describes a similarity shared between electromagnetic and mechanical waves?A Electromagnetic and mechanical waves are both transverse waves. B Electromagnetic and mechanical waves are both caused by vibrations. C Electromagnetic and mechanical waves both need a medium to travel through. D Electromagnetic and mechanical waves both travel fastest through high density mediums such as solids.arrow_forward
- Question 10 Police radar speed guns basically work by reflecting electromagnetic waves off the car's surface. Suppose you want to drive real fast on the motorway and somehow you have tracked exactly the frequency of police speed radar. The frequency of the police speed radar is f 1238 Hz. Find its wavelength. Hint c = 3 x 10% No need to include the unit. Write your answer in whole numbers. Round your answer to 0 decimal places.arrow_forwardQuestion 10 A group of students conduct a lab simulation to compare and contrast characteristics of electromagnetic and mechanical waves. The teacher instructed them to make a list of questions to present to their classmates about the similarities and differences they observe. Which question would be included in the students' list? A When were electromagnetic waves first discovered? B Does data travel by mechanical waves or electromagnetic waves? C Do both mechanical and electromagnetic waves need a medium to travel through? D Can mechanical waves and electromagnetic waves both be illustrated on a graph?arrow_forwardPlease write clearlyarrow_forward
