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.

Answer:

35.7 m

Explanation:

Let

$\mid A\mid=18.5 m$

$\mid B\mid=41 m$

We have to find the distance between Joe's and Karl'e tent.

$A_x=Acos\theta$

$A_y=Asin\theta$

Substitute the values then we get

$A_x=18.5cos23^{\circ}=17 m$

$A_y=18.5sin 23^{\circ}=7.2 m$

$B_x=41cos37.5^{\circ}=32.5 m$

$B_y=41sin37.5^{\circ}=-24.96 m$

Because vertical component of B lie in IV quadrant and y-inIV quadrant is negative.

By triangle addition of vector

$B=A+C$

$C=B-A$

$C_x=B_x-A_x=32.5-17=15.5 m$

$C_y=B_y-A_y=-24.96-7.2=-32.16\approx=-32.2 m$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{C^2_x+C^2_y}$

$\mid C\mid=\sqrt{(15.5)^2+(-32.2)^2}=35.7 m$

Hence, the distance between Joe's and Karl's tent=35.7 m

Sound is a type of mechanical wave and must have a medium through which to travel. Sound will move at different speeds when whic

Alex787 [66]

Hey there!

The answer would be B. The sound moves from air to water.

Sound travels through different mediums. It goes fastest in solids, a little slower in liquids, and slowest in air. Sound is a very fast wave, but remember that mediums can differ that. In a vacuum space, there is no sound at all. (ex. outer space)

Hope this helps !
