Correct choices are marked in bold:

travel in straight lines and can bounce off surfaces  --> TRUE, normally electromagnetic waves travel in straight lines, however they can be reflected by objects, bouncing off their surfaces

travel through space at the speed of light  --> TRUE, all electromagnetic waves in space (vacuum) travel at the speed of light, c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s)

travel only through matter  --> FALSE; electromagnetic waves can also travel through vacuum

travel only through space  --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves can also travel through matter

can bend around objects  --> TRUE, this is what happens for instance when diffraction occurs: electromagnetic waves are bended around obstacles or small slits

move by particles bumping into each other  --> FALSE, electromagnetic waves are oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, so no particles are involved

move by the interaction between an electric field and a magnetic field --> TRUE, electromagnetic waves consist of an electric field and a magnetic field oscillating in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave

What is the critical angle of light traveling from benzene (n=1.501) into air?
Taya2010 [7]
The critical angle formula should be: sin^-1(1/n) 

 where "n" is 1.501 into the air

<span>The critical angle of light travelling from benzene, happens because the larger angles of incidence from the inside of the benzene has experienced the total internal reflection. </span>

A ball is held at rest at the top of a hill. The ball is then released and starts rolling down the hill. At the bottom it reache
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:  

a ball is held rest at the top of hill  

gravitational potential energy will store due to its height  

it.   and  body will start move downward and its potential energy will convert into kinetic energy due to motion of body

at the ground level it will stop and potential energy will became zero and kinetic energy get convert into internal energy due to collisions
