Answer:
(a)
(b)
Explanation:
Parameter given:
Electric field, E =
(a) Electric force is given (in terms of electric field) as a product of electric charge and electric field.
Mathematically:
Electric charge, q, of an electron =
(b) This electrostatic force causes the electron to accelerate with an equivalent force:
F = -ma
where m = mass of an electron
a = acceleration of electron
(Note: the force is negative cos the direction of the force is opposite the direction of the electron)
Therefore:
Mass, m, of an electron =
=>
The acceleration of the electron is
Answer:
A - They are both electromagnetic waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, that vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (for this reason, they are said to be "transverse waves").
Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, can travel through a vacuum, and do not need a medium to propagate. Their speed in a vacuum is a constant and it is called speed of light ().
Electromagnetic waves are classified, depending on their wavelength and frequency, into 7 different types - together they form the electromagnetic spectrum. The 7 types, listed from shortest to longest wavelength, are:
gamma rays
X-rays
ultraviolet radiation
visible light
infrared radiation
microwaves
radio waves
All these waves, despite having different properties, are all electromagnetic waves -so we see that both radio waves and gamma rays belong to this type of waves.
