Why is electromagnetic radiation a transverse wave?

1 answer:

6 0

Since the direction of particle displacement in electromagnetic waves is also perpendicular to the direction of motion, generating the waveform of visible light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, they are also transverse waves.

In a transverse wave, the displacement is perpendicular to the direction of motion (at an angle of 90 degrees Celsius). The direction of displacement (up and down) in the case of the ocean wave is perpendicular to the direction of wave motion (horizontally along the water), making it a transverse wave.

How far a particle has moved from its original starting position, or, in the case of an ocean wave, how high or low the water is, is measured by its displacement or amplitude.

John has a solution with a pH of 12.21. what is the hydrogen ion concentration of this solution?

Georgia [21]

Answer:

In this way, ph is determined by hydrogen ion concentration . In the case of neutral solution [H+] =10-7 which we call a ph of 7. This means, for example, that a hydrogen-ion concentration of a solution with a ph of 4 is 10-4 mol/l, meaning it contains 0.0001 mole of hydrogen ion in a solution of 1 liter.

The reaction below is at equilibrium. What would happen if more carbon were

schepotkina [342]

Explanation:

$C_{(s)} + O_{2(g)} \rightleftharpoons CO_{2(g)}$

According to le ch-atelier's principle when a chemical reaction at equilibrium subjected to any stress, then the equilibrium shifts in that direction in which effect of stress is reduced.

When we would add more number of carbon in above reaction then rate of forward reaction will increase to attain the equilibrium again.
