Which of the following best explains why electromagnetic waves of all wavelengths have the same speed in a vacuum?

Blababa [14]2 years ago

All electromagnetic waves have the same manner of propagation; alternating electric and magnetic fields that's why electromagnetic waves of all wavelengths have the same speed in a vacuum

An altering magnetic field will cause an altering electric field and vice versa. Electromagnetic waves are created from these shifting fields. In contrast to mechanical waves, electromagnetic waves can travel without a medium. The oscillations between an electric field and a magnetic field produce waves known as electromagnetic waves or EM waves.

In other words, magnetic and electric fields oscillate to form electromagnetic (EM) waves. Almost the majority of the energy that sustains life on our planet comes from electromagnetic waves that flow from the sun to Earth through space. Technology is a necessity for many additional electromagnetic wave sources. Examples include X-rays, radio waves, and microwaves.

Explain how the density of a gas is different from the density of a liquid.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states.

Explanation:

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states. The same mass takes up a bigger volume. This means the gas is less dense. Density also depends on the material.

1. At which location does the pendulum have the least gravitational potential energy? Why?
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:Point B

Explanation:When it is at the bottom of its swing (arm straight up and down). When it is at its lowest point, Gravity can not pull it down any further. This position also has the most kinetic energy because after it passes the bottom, it goes back up again and loses speed. so when the pendulum is at the bottom it is traveling the fastest it will go.

How would seasons on earth be different if the earth was not tilted on its axis
MakcuM [25]

If the Earth's axis were 'straight' ... pefectly perpendicular to the ecliptic
plane ... then:

-- Day and night would be the same length ... every day of the year,
everywhere on Earth !

-- There wouldn't be any seasons, anywhere.  There might still be some
'weather' ... cloudy days, sunny days, occasional rain, wind etc.  But
there would be no average change during the year.  No hot months or
cold months.  In any one place, the weather would always be generally
the same, every day, all year.  Everywhere all around the equator would be
generally the hottest on Earth, and the local climates would generally get
cooler as you moved away from the equator and toward the poles.

based on how the book describes a heat pump in sec 16.3 how does a heat pump prove law of conservation of energy
sattari [20]
The law of conservation of energy states that: "energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to the other". A heat pump transfers heat from a colder area to a warmer area. As the conservation of energy goes, the energy that comes in, must equal the energy that comes out. Although no machine is 100% efficient, the missing energy is supplied by an external energy source, such as electricity.

Un ciclista recorre 10 km en 2 h.Calcula su velocidad media en km/h.¿cuantos metros recorre cada segundo
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

La velocidad media es 5 \frac{km}{h}, que equivale a 1.389 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

La velocidad es una magnitud física que expresa la relación entre el espacio recorrido por un objeto y el tiempo empleado para ello.

La velocidad media relaciona el cambio de la posición con el tiempo empleado en efectuar dicho cambio. Por lo que se calcula como la distancia recorrida por un objeto dividido por el tiempo transcurrido:

velocidad=\frac{distancia}{tiempo}

En este caso:

  • distancia= 10 km= 10,000 m (siendo 1 km= 1,000 m)
  • tiempo= 2 h= 7,200 s (siendo 1 h= 3,600 s)

Entonces, reemplazando en la definición de velocidad media:

velocidad=\frac{10 km}{2 h}= \frac{10,000 m}{7,200 s}

Resolviendo se obtiene:

velocidad=5 \frac{km}{h}= 1.389\frac{m}{s}

<u><em>La velocidad media es 5 </em></u>\frac{km}{h}<u><em>, que equivale a 1.389 </em></u>\frac{m}{s}<u><em></em></u>
