The speed of light is the speed all waves travel ?
No, only the speed of all electromagnetic waves.
It's different for ocean waves, rope waves, sound waves,
guitar-string waves, slinky waves, etc.

The speed of light is the speed electromagnetic waves travel ?
Yes.  Light is one of the electromagnetic waves.

The speed of light is 3.0 x 108 m/s in space ?
Yes.  That's a good approximation, and a nice easy number
to remember. 
It's only about 0.07% faster than the real number:  2.99792458 x 10⁸ m/s .

The speed of light is the same in all matter ?
No.  It's different in every substance, and the speed in any
substance is less than the speed in space (vacuum).

The speed of higher frequency light slows down
more than
lower frequency light in matter ?
Yes, slightly.  That's why the colors spread out on the way
through a prism to make a spectrum, or on the way through
raindrops to make a rainbow.

<span>The line that is drawn perpendicular to the point at which a wave intersects a boundary is know as the Normal .

When the normal is drawn, the incident ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence and the reflected ray makes an angle with it known as the angle of incidence. These angles are always equal.
 
The refracted ray makes an angle with the normal known as angle of refraction. The sin of angle of incidence to the sin of angle of refraction is called the refractive index( </span>μ= <span>sin i / sin r) .

Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten
ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0

now plug in all data into above equation

5(v) + 3(3)

5v = -9

v = -1.8 m/s

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

<h3>The charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 2.5 \times 10^{4} A

Time t = 40 \times 10^{-6} sec

We know that the current is the rate of flow of charge.

From the formula of current,

<h3>  I = \frac{Q}{t}</h3>

Where Q = charge transfer between cloud and earth.

 Q =I t

Q = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \times 40 \times 10^{-6}

Q = 1 C

Hence, the charge transferred from the cloud to earth is 1 Coulomb.

JulsSmile [24]
Choice - B is the correct one.

At the top of the arc, at one end of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any higher, so the potential energy is maximum
-- it stops moving for an instant, so the kinetic energy is zero

At the bottom of the arc, in the center of the swing:
-- it's not going to get any lower, so the potential energy is minimum
-- it's not going to move any faster, so the kinetic energy is maximum
