Question

9.) Which of the following types of electromagnetic waves has the highest energy per photon?

a. radio waves b. x-rays c. microwaves d. infrared radiation

10.) The medium has an index of 2.684. How fast is the light traveling through that medium?

a. 1.1 x 10 ^ 8 m/s   b. 3 x 10 ^ 8 m/s c. 2.684 m/s

11.) What is the index of refraction of a refractive medium if the angle of incidence in air is 410 and the angle of refraction is 260.

a. 4.5 b. 1.5 c. 6.3

12.) What causes a negatively charged balloon to be attracted to a positively charged sweater?

a. inducted charge b. temperature c. electrostatic forces

13. The term below that best explains why a negatively charged balloon sticks to a neutral wall is...

a. inducted charge b. electostatic forces c. both

14.) As the distance between two point charges increases, the force of attraction or repulsion between them __________.

a. niether increaes nor decreses b. decresases c. increases, the decreases d. increases

15. How is the force between two charges affected by the magnitude of the charge?

a. The force increases as the charge increases b. The force decreases as the charge decreases c. none of the above d. The force decreases as the charge increases

Explanation / Answer

9) as the energy of photon is given as

E = h * frequency , as frequency is highest for x - rays

energy is highest for b. x-rays

10) speed of light in medium = 3 *10^8/2.684

speed of light in medium = 1.1 *10^8 m/s

a. 1.1 x 10 ^ 8 m/s

11)

refractive index = wavelength of light in vacuum/wavelength in medium

refractive index = 410/260

refractive index = 1.5

12)

the force between charges is electro static force
hence , c. electrostatic forces
