Some giant ocean waves have a wavelength of 25 m and travel at 6.5 m/s with a frequency of 0.26 HZ. What is the period of such a wave ?

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Which lists the pairs of plates in order from least to greatest in terms of the work done to move the electron?

What accounts for an increase in the temperature of a gas that is kept at constant volume? a. energy has been removed as heat from the gas. b. energy has been added as heat to the gas. c. energy has been removed as work done by the gas. d. energy has been added as work done by the gas.
