Electricity is NOT a part of electromagnetic spectrum.

An electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic radiations arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>

Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
These waves are mostly transverse in nature, which means the direction of transmission is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles.
They include, light waves, radio waves, x-rays, infra-red, etc.

<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>

An electromagnetic wave shows electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.
Electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic waves: Gamma rays, x-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves.
The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into various sections based on wavelength, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and radio waves having the longest wavelength.
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see using our naked eyes is called the visible light spectrum.
In order of frequency, the radio waves have the lowest frequency while gamma rays have the largest frequency.

<h3>General characteristics of electromagnetic waves </h3>

They travel with the speed of light (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
They possess energy that is given by; E =hf, where h is the plank’s constant and f is the frequency.
They are transverse in nature, and therefore, the wavelength is measured between successful crests or troughs.
They can travel through vacuum

Explanation :

The electromagnetic spectrum shows the wavelength or frequency range of any wave.

It consists of the following waves :

Gamma rays (short wavelength or high frequency)
X-rays
Ultraviolet rays
Visible light
Infrared rays
Microwaves
Radio waves (long wavelength or short frequency)

So, the purple light is not the part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Hence, the correct option is (c).

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a) three times greater

Explanation:

Remember the heat capacity is the necessary heat to increase the temperature 1 ºC to an specific mass of the substance, in this case since the water and the metal have the same mass, is easier to compare just the neccesary heat.

Since water increases 20 ºC and the metal 60 ºC, it was neccesary 3 times of the quantity of heat to the same amount of mass of the two different susbtances.

A plane electromagnetic wave, with wavelength 4.1 m, travels in vacuum in the positive direction of an x axis. The electric fiel

(a) $7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz$

The frequency of an electromagnetic waves is given by:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$

where

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

$\lambda=4.1 m$ is the wavelength of the wave in the problem

Substituting into the equation, we find

$f=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.1 m}=7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz$

(b) $4.60\cdot 10^8 rad/s$

The angular frequency of a wave is given by

$\omega = 2\pi f$

where

f is the frequency

For this wave,

$f=7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz$

So the angular frequency is

$\omega=2\pi(7.32\cdot 10^7 Hz)=4.60\cdot 10^8 rad/s$

(c) $1.53 m^{-1}$

The angular wave number of a wave is given by

$k=\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

where

$\lambda$ is the wavelength of the wave

For this wave, we have

$\lambda=4.1 m$

so the angular wave number is

$k=\frac{2\pi}{4.1 m}=1.53 m^{-1}$

(d) $1.03\cdot 10^{-6}T$

For an electromagnetic wave,

$E=cB$

where

E is the magnitude of the electric field component

c is the speed of light

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field component

For this wave,

E = 310 V/m

So we can re-arrange the equation to find B:

$B=\frac{E}{c}=\frac{310 V/m}{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.03\cdot 10^{-6}T$

(e) z-axis

In an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and the magnetic field oscillate perpendicular to each other, and they both oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. Therefore, we have:

- direction of propagation of the wave --> positive x axis

- direction of oscillation of electric field --> y axis

- direction of oscillation of magnetic field --> perpendicular to both, so it must be z-axis

(f) 127.5 W/m^2

The time-averaged rate of energy flow of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

$I=\frac{E^2}{2\mu_0 c}$
