Answer: 8.6 µm

Explanation:

At a long distance from the source, the components (the electric and magnetic fields) of the electromagnetic waves, behave like plane waves, so the equation for the y component of the electric field obeys an equation like this one:

Ey =Emax cos (kx-ωt)

So, we can write the following equality:

ω= 2.2 1014 rad/sec

The angular frequency and the linear frequency are related as follows:

f = ω/ 2π= 2.2 1014 / 2π (rad/sec) / rad = 0.35 1014 1/sec

In an electromagnetic wave propagating through vacuum, the speed of the wave is just the speed of light, c.

The wavelength, speed and frequency, are related by this equation:

λ = c/f

λ = 3.108 m/s / 0.35. 1014 1/s = 8.6 µm.

The effective acceleration or deceleration due to gravity depends on the inclined angle of the track relative to ground; the steeper the slope is the greater the effective acceleration.

If you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, you will be 8850 m (about 5.50 mi) above sea level.
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

9.773m/s2

Explanation:

Given,

h=8848m

The value of sea level is 9.08m/s2

So,

Let g′ be the acceleration due to the gravity on the Mount Everest.

g′=g(1−h2h)

=9.8(1−640000017696)

=9.8(1−0.00276)

9.8×0.99724

=9.773m/s2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on the top of Mount Everest is =9.773m/s2

Hope it helped!!!
