Explain in your own words the interaction between the electric and magnetic fields that make up a light wave.

Physics
1 answer:
iVinArrow [24]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

They oscillates perpendicularly to one another, the oscillation of one field generates the other field.

Explanation:

In a light wave, an oscillating electric field of a light wave produces a magnetic field, and the magnetic field also oscillates to produce an electric field. The magnetic field and the electric field of a light wave both oscillates perpendicularly to one another. The resultant energy and direction of the wave generated as a result of these oscillating fields is propagated perpendicularly to both fields.

Electromagnetic waves can behave like particles
Ilya [14]
Yes they can.  Uh-huh.  Indubitably.  That's right, Vanessa.  It's true.

A better way to say it might be:

         Electromagnetic radiation can behave like waves AND like particles.

An electron is moving directly toward you in a horizontal path when it suddenly enters a uniform magnetic field that is either v
blagie [28]

Answer:

To your left

Explanation:

The direction of the force exerted on charged particle due to a magnetic field is given by the right-hand-rule, where:

- The index finger indicates the direction of motion of the electron

- the middle finger gives the direction of the magnetic field

- the thumb gives the direction of the force if the particle is positively charged - otherwise, the direction is reversed

in this case, we have an electron (so, a negatively charged particle):

- The direction of motion (index finger) is horizontal, toward you

- The electron begins to curve upward as it enters the field, so this means that the force exerted on the electrons is upward --> the thumb must point downward (because the electron is negatively charged)

- The index finger gives us the direction of the magnetic field: therefore, to your left.

An insulated beaker with negligible mass contains 0.250 kg of water at 75.0C. How many kilograms of ice at -20.0C must be droppe
kkurt [141]

Answer:

The amount of kilograms of ice at -20.0°C that must be dropped into the water to make the final temperature of the system 40.0°C = 0.0674 kg

Explanation:

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = Heat lost by the water

Total Heat gained by ice = Heat used by ice to move from -20°C to 0°C + Heat used to melt at 0°C + Heat used to reach 40°C from 0°C

To do this, we require the specific heat capacity of ice, latent heat of ice and the specific heat capacity of water. All will be obtained from literature.

Specific heat capacity of ice = Cᵢ = 2108 J/kg.°C

Latent heat of ice = L = 334000 J/kg

Specific heat capacity of water = C = 4186 J/kg.°C

Heat gained by ice in taking the total temperature to 40°C = mCᵢ ΔT + mL + mC ΔT = m(2108)(0 - (-20)) + m(334000) + m(4186)(40 - 0) = 42160m + 334000m + 167440m = 543600 m

Heat lost by water = mC ΔT = 0.25 (4186)(75 - 40) = 36627.5 J

543600 m = 36627.5

m = 0.0674 kg = 67.4 g of ice.
