Answer:

in a vacuum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields along a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (transverse waves)

Electromagnetic waves are the only waves being able to travel in a vacuum, since they do not need a medium to propagate.

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, called speed of light, whose value is:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the waves is actually reduced when they enter a medium, according to

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where n is the refractive index of the medium.

Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types according to their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

A 40 Watt lightbulb is on for 3 minutes. How many joules of work does it do?

ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power (p)= 40 watt

time (t)= 3 minutes = 180 seconds

Energy (E)= ?

we know

P = E/t

40 = E / 180

E = 7200 Joules

Therefore it does 7200 joules of work.

hope it helps :)

. One long wire carries a current of 30 A along the entire x axis. A second-long wire carries a current of 40 A perpendicular to

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

magnitude of net magnetic field at given point is

$B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T$

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field due to a long current carrying wire is given as

$B = \frac{\mu_o i}{2\pi r}$

here we we will find the magnetic field due to wire which is along x axis is given as

$i = 30 A$

r = 2 m

now we have

$B_1 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (30)}{2\pi (2m)}$

$B_1 = 3\times 10^{-6} T$ into the plane

Now similarly magnetic field due to another wire which is perpendicular to xy plane is given as

$i = 40 A$

r = 2 m

now we have

$B_2 = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} (40)}{2\pi (2m)}$

$B_2 = 4\times 10^{-6} T$ along + x direction

Since the two magnetic field is perpendicular to each other

So here net magnetic field is given as

$B = \sqrt{B_1^2 + B_2^2}$

$B = 5 \times 10^{-6} T$

A 4.0-cm tall light bulb is placed at distance of 8.3 cm from a concave mirror having a focal length of 15.2 cm. Determine the i

scoundrel [369]

Answer: the image distance is -18, 28 cm this means behind of the concave mirror. The image size is 2.2 higher that the original so it has 8.8 cm with the same orientation as original and it is a virtual imagen.

Explanation: In order to sove the imagen formation for a concave mirror we have to use the following equation:

1/p+1/q=1/f where p and q represents the distance to the mirror for the object and imagen, respectively. f is the focal length for the concave mirror.

replacing the values we obtain:

1/8.3+1/q=1/15.2

so 1/q=(1/15.2)-(1/8.3)=-54.7*10^-3

then q=-18.28 cm

The magnification is given by M=-q/p=-(-18,28)/8.3= 2.2

We also add a picture to see the imagen formation for this case.
