False. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave, not an EM wave.

Hope this helps! :)

What evidence can you cite to support the claim that the frequency of light does not change upon reflection?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: The color of an image is identical to the color of the object forming the image. When you look at yourself in a mirror, the color of your eyes doesn’t change. The fact that the color is the same is evidence that the frequency of light doesn’t change upon reflection. 2.

Write equations for both the electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum th

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

$E=3.5(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$

$B=1.17*10^{-8}(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$

Explanation:

The electric field equation of a electromagnetic wave is given by:

$E=E_{max}(kx-\omega t)$ (1)

E(max) is the maximun value of E, it means the amplitude of the wave.
k is the wave number
ω is the angular frequency

We know that the wave length is λ = 700 nm and the peak electric field magnitude of 3.5 V/m, this value is correspond a E(max).

By definition:

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

$k=8.98*10^{6} [rad/m]$

And the relation between λ and f is:

$c=\lambda f$

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

$f=\frac{3*10^{8}}{700*10^{-9}}$

$f=4.28*10^{14}$

The angular frequency equation is:

$\omega=2\pi f$

$\omega=2\pi*4.28*10^{14}$

$\omega=2.69*10^{15} [rad/s]$

Therefore, the E equation, suing (1), will be:

$E=3.5(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$ (2)

For the magnetic field we have the next equation:

$B=B_{max}(kx-\omega t)$ (3)

It is the same as E. Here we just need to find B(max).

We can use this equation:

$E_{max}=cB_{max}$

$B_{max}=\frac{E_{max}}{c}=\frac{3.5}{3*10^{8}}$

$B_{max}=1.17*10^{-8}T$

Putting this in (3), finally we will have:

$B=1.17*10^{-8}(8.98*10^{6}x-2.69*10^{15}t)$ (4)

I hope it helps you!

Two objects with masses of 2.75 kg and 4.45 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a light frictionless pulley to f

Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

4.45g - 2.75g = (4.45 + 2.75)a

a = 9.81(4.45 - 2.75) / (4.45 + 2.75) = 2.31625 ≈ 2.32 m/s²

T = 2.75(9.81 + 2.32) = 33.3 N

T = 4.45(9.81 - 2.32) = 33.3 N

b) 2.32 m/s² upward for 2.75 kg mass

2.32 m/s² downward for 4.45 kg mass

c) y = ½at² = ½(2.31625/3)1² = 1.158125 ≈ 1.16 m

if you have several different substances mixed together, like Italian salad dressing, where do the most dense materials go where

Alecsey [184]

If you've ever mixed water and oil together,you've probably noticed that the oil rises to the top and the water stays at the bottom-- no matter how much you try to shake them. This is because oil is less dense than water, making it float to the top. The molecules in oil are larger than those in water, so they don't pack as tightly together as they do in water. In a mixture of oil and vinegar, the oil floats on the vinegar/water mixture, while the solids sink to the bottom. So, if one material floats over another, the material on top is less dense.

Let me know if this helps! :)
