A canister filled with 3.5 mol of single-atom helium gas has a temperature of 300 K. What is the approximate total internal energy of the gas? (Recall that
3
the equation for kinetic energy due to translation in a gas is: nRT; the
2
equation for kinetic energy due to rotation of a molecule in a gas is: nRT; and
R = 8.31 J/(mol-K).)

Select light for the type of wave, adjust the wavelength so that the light is red, and increase the amplitude of the light to the max. then, select the start button at the source location to begin producing the waves. light is a form of electromagnetic wave, containing oscillating electric and magnetic fields. the wave amplitude detector mentioned above shows how the electric field oscillates in time at the location of the probe. the amplitude of the wave at the location of the probe is equal to the maximum electric field measured. how does the amplitude of the wave depend on the distance from the source?
