Which of the following best describes why we say that light is an electromagnetic wave?

Physics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The passage of a light wave can cause electrically charged particles to move up and down.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transversal waves, they are a combination of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, which propagate through space carrying energy from one place to another.  

This means the oscillation of the wave occurs in the transversal direction to its propagation. In addition, electromagnetic waves are spread thanks to the electromagnetic fields produced by moving electric charges.

A spaceprobe has an 29.0 m length when measured at rest. What length
elixir [45]

Answer:

The observer sees the space-probe 9.055m long.

Explanation:

Let L_0 be the length of the space-probe when measured at rest, and L be its length as observed by an observer moving at velocity v, then

(1).\: \: L = L_0\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2} }

Now, we know that L_0 = 29.0m and v = 0.95c, and putting these into (1) we get:

L = 29\sqrt{1-\dfrac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2} }

L = 29\sqrt{1-0.95^2 }

\boxed{L = 9.055m}

Thus, an observer moving at 0.95c observes the space-probe to be 9.055m long.

What is the magnitude of the applied electric field inside an aluminum wire of radius 1.2 mm that carries a 3.0-a current? [ σal
galben [10]
Hello

1) First of all, since we know the radius of the wire (r=1.2~mm=0.0012~m), we can calculate its cross-sectional area
A=\pi r^2 = 3.14 \cdot (0.0012~m)^2=4.5\cdot10^{-6}~m^2

2)  Then, we can calculate the current density J inside the wire. Since we know the current, I=3~A, and the area calculated at the previous step, we have
J= \frac{I}{A}= \frac{3~A}{4.5\cdot10^{-6}~m^2} = 6.63\cdot10^5 ~A/m^2

3) Finally, we can calculate the electric field E applied to the wire. Given the conductivity \sigma=3.6\cdot10^7~ \frac{A}{Vm} of the aluminium, the electric field is given by
E= \frac{J}{\sigma}= \frac{ 6.63\cdot10^5 ~A/m^2}{3.6\cdot10^7~ \frac{A}{Vm} } = 0.018~V/m
