Answer:

Their speed in a vacuum is a constant value.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consits of oscillations of electric field and magnetic field. The oscillations of these fields occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves, so they are transverse wave. Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate, so they can also travel through a vacuum. In a vacuum, their speed is constant and has always the same value, the speed of light:

$c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$

How would the composition of an atom change if both the atomic number and mass number each increase by one? A) The atom would ha

weqwewe [10]

Choice-B is the correct one.

-- The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
-- Each proton in the nucleus is usually matched by one electron in the 'cloud'.
-- The addition of a proton OR a neutron increases the mass number by 1 .
-- Electrons have such small mass that they don't figure into the atomic mass at all.

A rug sits in a sunny place on the floor for a long time. Kiara thinks that light from the sun can cause the rug's color to fade

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

Yes! Light from the sun can affect the materials certain carpets are made out of. The usual effect being the dye in the carpet being "washed out" or "dried out" as the sun beams down on it. When this happens, the carpet will usually lose its color, causing it to fade.
