Answer:
They have a dual wave-particle nature.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).
Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option
They have a dual wave-particle nature.
is correct.
Other options are wrong because:
They are all invisible. --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible
They can only travel without a medium. --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum
They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, , while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)
Answer:
0.125 m
Explanation:
In this problem, we have:
v = 0.50 m/s is the average velocity of the wave
T = 0.25 s is the period of the wave
We can find the frequency of the wave, which is equal to the reciprocal of the period:
The problem is asking us to find the distance between two crests of the wave: this is equivalent to the wavelength. The wavelength is related to the average velocity and the frequency by the formula:
Substituting the numerical values, we find
