It is the Earth's atmosphere that protects us from radiation and the vacuum of space--specifically UV radiation from the Sun, which can be very dangerous even with the atmosphere's intervention.

Which of the following is/are true? Electromagnetic waves are created by accelerating charges. Electromagnetic waves are transve
Vikki [24]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

(a). true  

whenever  charge particle  move back and froth from its mean position then it will produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, . so an em wave can be obtain by accelerating charge

(b). true

the electric field and the magnetic field have vibrations in the perpendicular direction along  the motion of the wave  so electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. therefore, the EM wave is a Transverse wave

(c) true .

The Electromagnetic wave consists of the two mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields  and also both fields are  perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

(d) true .

An electromagnetic wave  carry  energy through  vacuum with a speed   of 3 \times 10^8 m/s  

   so , all of the above are true.

An object is 15 cm in front of a diverging lens with a
Rainbow [258]

A) See ray diagram in attachment (-6.0 cm)

By looking at the ray diagram, we see that the image is located approximately at a distance of 6-7 cm from the lens. This can be confirmed by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f = -10 cm is the focal length (negative for a diverging lens)

p = 15 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solving for q,

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-10 cm}-\frac{1}{15 cm}=-0.167 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.167 cm^{-1}}=-6.0 cm

B) The image is upright

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is upright. This is also confirmed by the magnification equation:

h_i = - h_o \frac{q}{p}

where h_i, h_o are the size of the image and of the object, respectively.

Since q < 0 and p > o, we have that h_i >0, which means that the image is upright.

C) The image is virtual

As we see from the ray diagram, the image is on the same side of the object with respect to the lens: so, it is virtual.

This is also confirmed by the sign of q in the lens equation: since q < 0, it means that the image is virtual
