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

Physics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]4 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.

Which is not a common property of ionic compounds
Naddik [55]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Low melting points and electrical conductivity in solids are not common properties of ionic solids.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

In ionic compounds the electrons involved in the bonding are tightly packed under the influence of electrostatic force of attraction. So the movement of these electrons is very difficult.

In the melting point the bond breaking between the atoms is involved. Hence in case of ionic compound there is a high amount of energy needed to break the ionic bonds.

Electrical conductivity involves the free movement of electrons which is impossible in ionic solids.

So low melting points and electrical conductivity in solids are not common properties of ionic solids.

Explain the significance of kelvin temperature scole.​
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

The Kelvin temperature scale is used by scientists because they wanted a temperature scale where zero reflects the complete absence of thermal energy. ... Many quantum mechanical properties are washed out by the thermal agitation that occurs in materials.
