The Sun emits a solar flare directly aimed at Earth. Which instrument on an orbiting satellite would detect the flare first?

A) All sensors simultaneously, as the speed of all electromagnetic waves is the same.

B) Radio wave sensors, as they have the longest wavelength

C) Visible wave sensors, as they are the only thing we can see from the sun.

D) Gamma wave sensors, as they have the highest frequency.

During takeoff, the sound intensity level of a jet engine is 170db at a distance of 34 m. what's the sound intensity level at a distance of 1.0 km?

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?
