5 characteristics of an Electromagnetic wave

1 answer:

8 0

1. Electromagnetic waves travel with a constant velocity in vacuum . The velocity is approximately 186,000 miles per second or 300, 000 km per sec, the same as the speed of light.

2.Electromagnetic waves are not deflected by electric or magnetic fields

3. Electromagnetic waves can show interference or diffraction

4. Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves, similar to water waves in the ocean or the waves seen on a guitar string.

5. Electromagnetic waves may be polarized.

6. Electromagnetic waves need no medium of propagation.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The altitude of geostationary satellite is $3.58\times10^{7}\ m$

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius of moon's orbit $r=3.84\times10^{8}\ m$

Time period $T=2.36\times10^{6}\ sec$

We need to calculate the orbital radius of geostationary satellite is

Using formula of time period

$T=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3}$

$a=((\dfrac{GM}{4\pi^2})T^2)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

Where, G = gravitational constant

M = Mass of earth

T = time period of geostationary satellite orbit

Put the value in to the formula

$a=((\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.97\times10^{24}}{4\times\pi^2})\times(86160)^2)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}$

$a=4.217\times10^{7}\ m$

We need to calculate the altitude of geostationary satellite

Using formula of altitude

$h = a-R_{e}$

Where, R = radius of earth

a = radius of geostationary satellite

Put the value into the formula

$h =4.217\times10^{7}-6.38\times10^{6}$

$h =35790000\ m$

$h=3.58\times10^{7}\ m$

Hence, The altitude of geostationary satellite is $3.58\times10^{7}\ m$

A string has its 4th harmonic at 31.5 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency?

seropon [69]

Given data

*The given 4th harmonic frequency is 31.5 Hz

The fundamental frequency is calculated as

$\begin{gathered} f_n=\frac{31.5}{4} \\ =7.875\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}$

Hence, the fundamental frequency is 7.875 Hz

When the temperature of the air is 25 degress C, the velocity of a sound wave traveling through the air is approximately

dusya [7]

Assuming an ideal gas, the speed of sound depends on temperature
only. Air is almost an ideal gas.

Assuming the temperature of 25°C in a "standard atmosphere", the
density of air is 1.1644 kg/m3, and the speed of sound is 346.13 m/s.

The velocity can't be specified, since the question gives no information
regarding the direction of the sound.
