An electromagnetic wave is transporting energy in the negative y direction. At one point and one instant the magnetic field is i
natali 33 [55]

Answer:. Option c

Explanation: the speed of an electromagnetic wave is simply the vector product of the magnetic field and the electric field.

The direction of the velocity is the direction of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave is already moving towards the negative y axis (-j) and the magnetic field is already pointing towards the positive x axis (i)

From cross product of unit vectors

i × j = k

i × k = - j

With the second identity, we can see that the electric field will be pointing towards the positive of the x axis (k).

Option c is validated

Comparing ultraviolet photons to radio photons, we can say that the ultraviolet photons have ______ energy, ______ frequency, an
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

Energy of ultra violet photons < Energy of radio waves

Wavelength of ultra violet photons > Wavelength of radio waves

Explanation:

The increasing order of the wavelength is given by

Gamma rays

x rays

Ultra violet rays

Visible radiations

Infrared rays

micro waves

Radio waves

So, ultra violet rays has larger wavelength than radio waves.

As we know that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength.

So, the energy of radio waves is more than the energy of ultra violet waves.

Energy of ultra violet photons < Energy of radio waves

Wavelength of ultra violet photons > Wavelength of radio waves

When blueshift occurs,the preceived frequency of the wave would be?​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

When blueshift happens, the perceived frequency of the wave would be higher than the actual frequency.

Explanation:

As the name suggests, when blueshift happens to electromagnetic waves, the frequency of the observed wave would shift towards the blue (high-frequency) end of the visible spectrum. Hence, there would be an increase to the apparent frequency of the wave.

Blueshifts happens when the source of the wave and the observer are moving closer towards one another.

Assume that the wave is of frequency f\; {\rm Hz} at the source. In other words, the source of the wave sends out a peak after every (1/f)\; {\text{seconds}}.

Assume that the distance between the observer and the source of the wave is fixed. It would then take a fixed amount of time for each peak from the source to reach the observer.

The source of this wave sends out a peak after each period of (1/f)\; {\text{seconds}}. It would appear to the observer that consecutive peaks arrive every (1/f)\; {\text{seconds}}\!. That would correspond to a frequency of f\; {\rm Hz}.

On the other hand, for a blueshift to be observed, the source of the wave needs to move towards the observer. Assume that the two are moving towards one another at a constant speed of v \; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Again, the source of this wave would send out a peak after each period of (1/f)\; {\text{seconds}}. However, by the time the source sends out the second peak, the source would have been v \cdot (1 / f) \; { \rm m}= (v / f)\; {\rm m} closer to the observer then when the source sent out the first peak.

When compared to the first peak, the second peak would need to travel a slightly shorter distance before it reach the observer. Hence, from the perspective of the observer, the time difference between the first and the second peak would be shorter than (1/f)\; {\text{seconds}}. The observed frequency of this wave would be larger than the original f\; {\rm Hz}.

A light beam travels at 1.94×108 in quartz. The wavelength of the light in quartz is 355 .Part AWhat is the index of refraction
Alja [10]

A) 1.55

The speed of light in a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index of the material

In this problem, the speed of light in quartz is

v=1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s

So we can re-arrange the previous formula to find n, the index of refraction of quartz:

n=\frac{c}{v}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.94\cdot 10^8 m/s}=1.55

B) 550.3 nm

The relationship between the wavelength of the light in air and in quartz is

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda is the wavelenght in quartz

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in air

n is the refractive index

For the light in this problem, we have

\lambda=355 nm\\n=1.55

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find \lambda_0, the wavelength in air:

\lambda_0 = n\lambda=(1.55)(355 nm)=550.3 nm

Daring Darless wishes to cross the Grand Canyon of the Snake River by being shot from a cannon. She wishes to be launched at 56°
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

She must be launched with a speed of 74.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equations of the horizontal component of the position vector and the vertical component of the velocity vector are the following:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

vy = v0 · sin θ + g · t

x = horizontal distance traveled at time t.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

θ = launching angle.

vy = vertical component of the velocity vector at time t.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s²).

To just cross the 520-m gap, the maximum height of the flight must be reached halfway of the gap at 260 m horizontally (see attached figure).

When she is at the maximum height, her vertical velocity is zero. So, when x = 260 m, vy = 0. Using both equations we can solve the system for v0:

x = v0 · t · cos θ

Solving for v0:

v0 = x/ (t · cos θ)

Replacing v0 in the second equation:

vy = v0 · sin θ + g · t

0 = x/(t·cos(56°)) · sin(56°) + g · t

0 = 260 m · tan (56°) / t - 9.8 m/s² · t

9.8 m/s² · t = 260 m · tan (56°) / t

t² = 260 m · tan (56°) / 9.8 m/s²

t = 6.27 s

Now, let's calculate v0:

v0 = x/ (t · cos θ)

v0 = 260 m / (6.27 s · cos(56°))

v0 = 74.2 m/s

She must be launched with a speed of 74.2 m/s.
