The air would contract therefore the answer is the second choice.
1. Frequency is the number of complete waves that pass a point in a second. 2.Wavelength is the distance between two crests or two troughs. 3.Time period <span> is the time it takes for one complete wave to pass a given point. 4. Amplitude is the height of the wave. Hence option 4 is correct. </span>
<span>The correct answer is B - Light can travel in a vacuum, and its speed is constant if the source is moving or stationary.</span>
Answer: 8.6 µm
Explanation:
At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:
Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)
So, we can write the following equality:
ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec
The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:
f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec
In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.
The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:
λ = c/f
λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.
