Electromagnetic radiation is emitted when a charged particle moves through a medium faster than the local speed of light. This r

adiation is known as Cherenkov radiation. Cherenkov radiation is found in many interesting places such as particle detectors and nuclear reactors and can even be seen by astronauts when cosmic rays traverse their eyes. It should be stressed that the particle is never going faster than the speed of light in vacuum (or ccc), just faster than the speed of light in the material (which is always less than ccc). The creation of Cherenkov radiation occurs in much the same way that a sonic boom is created when a plane is moving faster than the speed of sound in the air. The various wavefronts that propagate in the material add coherently to create an effective shock wave. In this problem, you will become familiar with this type of radiation and learn how to use its properties to get information about the particles that created it. Part A What is the threshold velocity vthreshold(water)vthreshold(water)v_threshold (water) (i.e., the minimum velocity) for creating Cherenkov light from a charged particle as it travels through water (which has an index of refraction of n

Answer:

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise we must use the relation of the index of refraction with the speed of light in a vacuum and a material medium

           n = c / v

where c is the speed of light in the vacuum, v the speed of light in the material medium and n the ratio of rafraccio

in this case they give us that the medium matter water them that has a refractive index of

              n = 1,333

we clear

          v = c / n

let's calculate

           v = 3 10⁸ / 1,333

           v = 2.25 10⁸ m / s

to create the particle the speed must be greater than 2.25 10⁸ m / s

A very long uniform line of charge has charge per unit length λ1 = 4.80 μC/m and lies along the x-axis. A second long uniform li
Elodia [21]

Answer:

a) E=228391.8 N/C

b) E=-59345.91N/C

Explanation:

You can use Gauss law to find the net electric field produced by both line of charges.

\int \vec{E_1}\cdot d\vec{r}=\frac{\lambda_1}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_1(2\pi r)=\frac{\lambda_1}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_o r_1}\\\\\int \vec{E_2}\cdot d\vec{r}=\frac{\lambda_2}{\epsilon_o}\\\\E_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi \epsilon_o r_2}

Where E1 and E2 are the electric field generated at a distance of r1 and r2 respectively from the line of charges.

The net electric field at point r will be:

E=E_1+E_2=\frac{1}{2\pi \epsilon_o}(\frac{\lambda_1}{r_1}+\frac{\lambda_2}{r_2})

a) for y=0.200m, r1=0.200m and r2=0.200m:

E=\frac{1}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}[\frac{4.80*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}-\frac{2.26*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}}]=228391.8N/C

b) for y=0.600m, r1=0.600m, r2=0.200m:

E=\frac{1}{2\pi(8.85*10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2)}[\frac{4.80*10^{-6}C}{0.600m}-\frac{2.26*10^{-6}C}{0.200m}}]=-59345.91N/C

Noah drops a rock with a density of 1.73 g/cm3 into a pond. Will the rock float or sink?
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

It will sink

Explanation:

An object in the water can float only if its density is lower than the density of the water.

In fact, for an object completely immersed in water, there are two forces acting on it:

- Its weight, W=mg=\rho_o V g, downward, where \rho_o is the density of the object, V its volume and g the gravitational acceleration

- The buoyant force, B=\rho_w V g, upwards, there \rho_w is the density of the water

We see that when the density of an object is larger than the density of the water, \rho_o > \rho_w, the weight is greater than the buoyant force, W>B, so the object sinks.

In this case, the rock has a density of 1.73 g/cm3, while water has a density of 1.0 g/cm^3, so the rock will sink.

A signal generator has an output voltage of 2.0 V with no load. When a 600 Ω load is connected to it, the output drops to 1.0 V.
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

600 Ω

Explanation:

when there is no load attached to the generator the circuit is open and zero current flows through the circuit, hence voltage drop across the internal resister is zero.

when 600Ω load is connected current starts flowing through the circuit and  some voltage will drop across the internal resister.

voltage across the load resister is 1 V, so the current through it will be:

I=V/R

I=1/600 A= 1.67mA

voltage drop in the internal resister is:

V= input voltage - output voltage

V=2 V-1 V

⇒V=1 V

Now by using ohm's law

R=V/ I

R=\frac{1}{1.67*10^{-3} }    (I= 1.67mA, as the resistors are connected in series)

⇒R=600 Ω

Hence Thevinin resistance of the generator is 600Ω.

The total energy of a 0.050 kg object travelling at 0.70 c is
quester [9]
Would presume the energy as kinetic energy.

E = (1/2)*mv²

But m = 0.05kg, velocity here = 0.70c, where c is the speed of light ≈ 3* 10⁸ m/s

Ke =  (1/2)*mv² = 0.5*0.05*(0.7*<span>3* 10⁸)</span>² = 1.1025 * 10¹⁵ Joules


There is no exact match from the options.
