What factor is responsible for altering the speed of an electromagnetic wave?

Physics

cupoosta [38]4 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is "type of medium".

Explanation:

Electromagnetic wave is the wave in which both electric field and the magnetic field are mutually perpendicular each other to the motion of the wave. It travels with the speed of light.

When the electromagnetic wave travels from one medium to the another medium then the speed of the wave will get change and therefore, it changes the wavelength.

Therefore, the type of medium is responsible for altering the speed of an electromagnetic wave.

Two cars, initially 12 meters apart, zip towards one another at the speeds shown. At what point will the collision occur? Explai
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

s₁ = 4.67 m from car A

Explanation:

Since, the cars are moving at a constant speed. Hence, we will apply the equation for uniform motion here:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered

v = velocity

t = time taken

For Car A:

s₁ = (1.4 m/s)t

For Car B:

s₂ = (2.2 m/s)t

Because the time will be same at the collision. At collision the distance covered by Car A and Car B must be 12 m altogether. Hence:

s₁ + s₂ = 12 m

using values:

(1.4 m/s)t + (2.2 m/s)t = 12 m

t = 12 m/3.6 m/s

t = 3.333 s

Substitute this in the equation of s₁:

s₁ = (1.4 m/s)(3.33 s)

<u>s₁ = 4.67 m from car A</u>

The density (mass/volume) of aluminum is 2.70 mc016-1.jpg 103 kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m3). What is the mass of an aluminum
Masja [62]
The answer is 4.05 × 10³ kg

The density (D) is a quotient of mass (m) and volume (V) of a substance:
D = m/V

Step 1. Calculate the volume o
We have:
D = 2.70 × 10³ kg/m³
V = 1.50 m³
m = ?

D = m/V
m = D * V
m = 2.70 × 10³ kg/m³ × 1.50 m³ = 4.05 × 10³ kg

Consider a beam of electrons in a vacuum, passing through a very narrow slit of width 2.00μm. The electrons then head toward an
Dimas [21]

Answer:

9.9\cdot 10^{-9}m

Explanation:

In a single-slit diffraction pattern, the location of the first minimum is given by

y=\frac{L\lambda }{a}

where

L is the distance between the slit and the screen

\lambda is the wavelength

a is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

y=0.527 cm = 5.27\cdot 10^{-3} m (location of first minimum)

L = 1.068 m (distance of the screen)

a=2.00\mu m=2.00\cdot 10^{-6}m (width of the slit)

Solving the equation for \lambda, we find the De Broglie wavelength of the electron:

\lambda = \frac{ya}{L}=\frac{(5.27\cdot 10^{-3} m)(2.00\cdot 10^{-6} m)}{1.068 m}=9.9\cdot 10^{-9}m
