Can electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum? Yes Or No

Physics
1 answer:
Sonja [21]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Yes because Electromagnetic waves differ from mechanical waves in that they do not require a medium to propagate. This means that electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through the vacuum of space.

An electron with charge −e and mass m moves in a circular orbit of radius r around a nucleus of charge Ze, where Z is the atomic
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

Explanation:

The electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and the electron is given by:

F=k\frac{(e)(Ze)}{r^2}=k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2} (1)

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Ze is the charge of the nucleus

e is the charge of the electron

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

This electrostatic attraction provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular motion, which is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r} (2)

where

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

Combining the two equations (1) and (2), we find

k\frac{Ze^2}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

And solving for v, we find an expression for the speed of the electron:

v=\sqrt{\frac{kZe^2}{mr}}

A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

E_e = E_k

kx^2/2 = mv^2/2

120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2

15 = 0.75v^2

v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20

v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s

Light of frequency 2.5 x 1015 Hz illuminates a
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

h f = W + KE

Input energy equals work function plus KE of emitted electron

W = 6.63E-34 * 2.5E15 - 6.3 * 1.6E-19

W = 6.63 * 2.5 * 10^-19 - 10.1 * E-19 ev     (1ev = 1.6E-19 J)

W = (16.6 - 10.1)E-19 = 6.5E-19 J

h f = 6.5E-19 J        for electrons to be emitted with zero KE

f = 6.5E-19 / 6.63E-34 = .98E-15 / sec = 9.8E-14 / sec  (threshold)

How does Newton's third law of motion give a property of process​
elixir [45]

Answer:

Newton's third law explains the generation of thrust by a rocket engine. In a rocket engine, hot exhaust gas is produced through the combustion of a fuel with an oxidizer. The hot exhaust gas flows through the rocket nozzle and is accelerated to the rear of the rocket. In re-action, a thrusting force is produced on the engine mount.
