an electromagnetic wave propagates in a vacuum in the x-direction. In what direction does the electric field oscilate

Physics
1 answer:
sweet [91]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>The electric field  can either oscillates in the z-direction, or the y-direction, but must oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation, and the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field.</em>

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves that have an oscillating magnetic and electric field, that oscillates perpendicularly to one another. Electromagnetic waves are propagated in a direction perpendicular to both the electric and the magnetic field. If the wave is propagated in the x-direction, then the electric field can either oscillate in the y-direction, or the z-direction but must oscillate perpendicularly to both the the direction of oscillation of the magnetic field, and the direction of propagation of the wave.

Amplitude and energy are inversely related, meaning that a high-energy wave has low amplitude and a low-energy wave has high amp
Elodia [21]
According to the physical fact that a<span>mplitude and energy have proportional values, this statement is definitely FALSE. Pay attention on the words ''</span><span> inversely related'', that will be the main point which will make it absolutely clear. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Regards.</span>

What is the net force for this? (please don't forget it's direction and magnitude)​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the sum of the two right directed forces match exactly the left directed force, the only unbalanced force, and thus the net force, is the upward 25 N force.

A loaf of bread is removed from an oven at 350° F and cooled in a room whose temperature is 70° F. If the bread cools to 210° F
jasenka [17]

Answer:

The bread will take 216.40 minutes to cool to 185°F

Explanation: Newton law of cooling

states that the rate of cooling of an object is inversely proportional to the difference of temperatures between the object and its surroundings i.e. dTdt=−kT, where t is the time taken and T is the difference of the temperatures between the object and its surroundings.

This gives us T as a function of t and is given by T(t)=ce−kt.

T(0)= Ce^-kt

C=35₩F- 185F= 165F

T(20) = 165×e^-20k=(350-70)

T(20)= e^-20k =280/165

-20k= ln(280/165)

-20k= ln(1.697)

-20k= 0.5289

K= 0.5289/20

K= 0.0264

If it cools at 185F in t minutes

165e^-0.0264×t=0.5

e^-0.0264t= 0.5/165

-0.0264t= on 3.03×10^-3

-0.0264t= -5.7129

t= 5.7129/0.0264

t=216.40minutes
