An electromagnetic wave of wavelength

Physics
1 answer:
Ivanshal [37]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m

Explanation:

When an electromagnetic wave passes through the interface between two mediums, it undergoes refraction, which means that it bents and its speed and its wavelength change.

In particular, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave in a certain medium is related to the index of refraction of the medium by:

\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}

where

\lambda_0 is the wavelength in a vacuum (air is a good approximation of vacuum)

n is the refractive index of the medium

In this problem:

\lambda_0 = 5.89\cdot 10^{-7} m is the original wavelength of the wave

n = 1.47 is the index of refraction of corn oil

Therefore, the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave in corn oil is:

\lambda=\frac{5.89\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.47}=4.01\cdot 10^{-7} m

Which word describes the maximum a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes?
Tom [10]

Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest.

Hence, an amplitude is a word that describes the maximum displacement a point moves from its rest position when a wave passes.

On a graph, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform and this simply means that, it's measured vertically.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.

A is the amplitude.

ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.

t is the time period measured in seconds.

ϕ is the phase angle.

Do all metals expand the same amount when heated??
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.
