Question
Does the force on a charge due to another charge depend on the charges present nearby?
✓
Answer
Coulomb's Law states that the force between two charged particle is given by,$\text{F}=\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{4\pi\in_0\text{r}^2}$
Where, $q_1$ and $q_2$ are the charges on the charged particles . r = separation between the charged particles.$\in_0$ = parmittivity of free space.
According to the Law of Superposition, the electrostatic force between two charged particles are unaffected due to the presence of other charges.

Light from a massive star suffers 'gravitational red shift' i.e., its wavelength changes towards the red end due to the gravitational attraction of the star. Obtain the formula for this gravitational red shift using the simple consideration that a photon of frequency v has energy $\text{h}\nu$ (h=planck's constant) and mass $\frac{\text{h}\nu}{\text{c}^2}.$ Estimate the magnitude of the red-shift for light of wavelength $5000\mathring{\text{A}}$ from a star of mass $10^{32}kg$ and radius $10^6km. G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11}Nm^2 kg^{-2}$ and $C = 3 \times 108m s^{-1}$.
