Answer: reflection

Refraction

Energy

Speed

Explanation:

Reflection results when em wave hits a plane surface and returns in the same angle it incident

Refraction is the change in velocity and direction of em wave as it crosses boundaries of different medium

The energy of em wave is evenly distributed in electric field and magnetic field

The speed of em wave is the same as 3×10^8

The characteristics of electromagnetic waves typically represent as follows:

There are changes in the electric and magnetic fields simultaneously so that both fields have maximum and minimum values at the same time and place.
The direction of the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other. The direction of both is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
The shape of electromagnetic waves is transverse waves.
It has general wave characteristics like polarization, reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.
The amount of the electric field (E) is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field, with the relationship E = cB.
The universal constant of the velocity of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is $\boxed{ \ c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s. \ }$
The speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate depends merely on the electrical and magnetic properties of the medium that it travels on.
Because electromagnetic waves do not contain an electric charge, they do not experience any possible deviation in the electric or magnetic fields.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Two physicists who contributed significantly to developing the concept of electromagnetic waves are Faraday and Maxwell around 1831-1864.
From the observations, Faraday suggested that changes in the magnetic field cause an electric charge to flow in the loop of wire, contributing in the emergence of an electric field.
Maxwell proposed a reverse process, which is a change in the electric field will generate a magnetic field.
As follows, according to Faraday's Law, changes in sinusoidal magnetic fields generate electric fields which also change sinusoidally.
Meantime, according to Maxwell's Hypothesis, changes in sinusoidal electric fields generate magnetic fields which also change sinusoidally.
Furthermore, there is a process of combining electric and magnetic fields that propagate in all directions called electromagnetic waves.

Say I have a series circuit with 20v and four 65 ohm resistors, what is the current in each resistor?

Komok [63]

Data:

$E = 20 V$
$R_{1} = 65\Omega$
$R_{2} = 65\Omega$
$R_{3} = 65\Omega$
$R_{4} = 65\Omega$

<span>Now that we have all the values we need properly identified, simply calculate the equivalent total resistance of the circuit and the intensity of the total electric current using the Ohm's Law:

</span> $R_{T} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} + R_{4}$
$R_{T} = 65 + 65 + 65+ 65$
$R_{T} = 260\Omega$

<span>Like this:
</span>
$I_{T} = \frac{E}{ R_{T} }$

$I_{T} = \frac{20}{ 260 }$
$I_{T} = 0,076923076...$

$\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$
Answer:
<span>The intensity of the total electric current
</span> $\boxed{\boxed{I_{T} \approx 0,07A}}$

P.S:. Since the association is in series, the current of 0.07A is the same for all resistors.

Describe what happens to the particles of a liquid, in terms of movement and kinetic energy, as it is cooled to its freezing poi

nataly862011 [7]

As a system is cooled to its freezing point, the kinetic energy of the particles in the system will lower so the movement are much slower. Cooling means taking out heat from the system. This process is a physical change because it is only the phase of the system is changed and it is still the substance after the process.
