5 characteristics of an Electromagnetic wave

Physics
1 answer:
Lana71 [14]3 years ago
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.

A meteorologist tracks the movement of a thunderstorm with Doppler radar. At 8:00pm the storm was 55 mi northeast of her station
Rus_ich [418]
At 8:00 pm, the velocity of the storm is 55 mi northeast. Assuming that the direction is exactly northeast, the angle is 45°
At 11:00 pm, the velocity is 75 mi north. The angle is 90°
In vector form
55 ∠ 45°
and
75 ∠ 90°
The magnitude and direction of the average velocity is
(55 ∠ 45° + 75 ∠ 90° ) / 3

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

For N = 1

\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}

Put the value of emf

i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}

Then the current would be

i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}

i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}

i'=i

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

Salmon often jump waterfalls to reach their
natta225 [31]

Answer:

5.0 m/s

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the salmon is uniform, so the horizontal component of the salmon's velocity is constant and it is

v_x = u cos \theta

where u is the initial speed and \theta=37.7^{\circ}. The horizontal distance travelled by the salmon is

d=v_x t = (ucos \theta)t

where d = 1.95 m and t is the time needed to reach the final point.

Re-arranging for t,

t=\frac{d}{v_x}=\frac{d}{u cos \theta} (1)

Along the vertical direction, the equation of motion is

y=h+u_y t -\frac{1}{2}gt^2

where:

y = 0.311 m is the final height reached by the salmon

h = 0 is the initial height

u_y = u sin \theta is the vertical component of the initial velocity of the salmon

g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Substituting t as found in eq.(1), we get the equation

y=(u sin \theta) \frac{d}{u cos \theta}- \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}

and we can solve this formula for u, the initial speed of the salmon:

y=d tan \theta - \frac{1}{2}g\frac{d^2}{u^2 cos^2 \theta}\\\\u=\sqrt{\frac{gd^2}{2(dtan \theta -y)cos^2 \theta}}=\sqrt{\frac{(9.81)(1.95)^2}{2((1.95)(tan 37.7^{\circ}) -0.311)cos^2 37.7^{\circ}}}=5.0 m/s
