What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

In a photoelectric experiment, you shine light onto an electrode and record a current of 25 μA. When you apply +500 mV to the el
kkurt [141]

Answer:

2.083 V.

Explanation:

Stopping potential is the potential that is required to stop the current to zero . This potential is applied externally to oppose the potential created by the photoelectric effect . It gives the measure the photoelectric potential being generated .

Here current drops to 25 μA to 19 μA by a potential of 500mV

Change in current

= 25 - 19 = 6 μA

Voltage requirement for unit reduction in current

= 500 / 6 μA

To reduce current 0f 25 μA

requirement of V = (500 / 6 )  x 25 =   2083.33 mV = 2.083 V.

An inductor is connected in series to a fully charged capacitor. Which of the following statements are true? Check all that appl
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Explanation:

Lets take

C= Capacitance

L=Inductance

V=Voltage

I= Current

The total energy E given as

E=\dfrac{IL^2}{2}+\dfrac{CV^2}{2}

We know that total energy E is conserved so when electric energy 1/2 CV² decreases then magnetic energy 1/2 IL²  will increases.

It means that when charge on the capacitor decreases then the current will increase.

As the capacitor is discharging, the current is increasing

Part complete Sound with frequency 1240 Hz leaves a room through a doorway with a width of 1.11 m . At what minimum angle relati
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

14.43° or 0.25184 rad

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound in air = 343 m/s

f = Frequency = 1240 Hz

d = Width in doorway = 1.11 m

Wavelength is given by

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{343}{1240}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.2766\ m

In the case of Fraunhofer diffraction we have the relation

dsin\theta=\lambda\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow \theta=sin^{-1}\frac{0.2766}{1.11}\\\Rightarrow \theta=14.43^{\circ}\ or\ 0.25184\ rad

The minimum angle relative to the center line perpendicular to the doorway will someone outside the room hear no sound is 14.43° or 0.25184 rad
