The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>

A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.

<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>

Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.

Problem One: A beam of red light (656 nm) enters from air into the side of a glass and then into water. wavelength, c. and speed

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Part a)

$f_w = f_g = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

$v_g = 2.0 \times 10^8 m/s$

Explanation:

Part a)

frequency of light will not change with change in medium but it will depend on the source only

so here frequency of light will remain same in both water and glass and it will be same as that in air

$f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$

$f = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{656 \times 10^{-9}}$

$f = 4.57 \times 10^{14} Hz$

Part b)

As we know that the refractive index of water is given as

$\mu_w = 4/3$

so the wavelength in the water medium is given as

$\lambda_w = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_w}$

$\lambda_w = \frac{656 nm}{4/3}$

$\lambda_w = 492 nm$

Similarly the refractive index of glass is given as

$\mu_w = 3/2$

so the wavelength in the glass medium is given as

$\lambda_g = \frac{\lambda}{\mu_g}$

$\lambda_g = \frac{656 nm}{3/2}$

$\lambda_g = 437.3 nm$

Part c)

Speed of the wave in water is given as

$v_w = \frac{c}{\mu_w}$

$v_w = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{4/3}$

$v_w = 2.25 \times 10^8 m/s$

Speed of the wave in glass is given as

$v_g = \frac{c}{\mu_g}$

$v_g = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{3/2}$

$v_g = 2 \times 10^8 m/s$

A solid nonconducting sphere of radiusRcarries a chargeQdistributed uniformly throughout itsvolume. At a certain distancer1(r1&l

lara [203]

Answer:

$E' = \frac{1}{8} E$

Explanation:

Given data:

first case

Distance of electric field from center of sphere is r_1 <R

Electric field at r_1< R

$E = \frac{kQr_1}{R^3}$

second case

Distance of electric field from centre of sphere is r_1 < 2R

Electric field at r_1< 2R

$E' = \frac{kQr_1}{8R^3}$

so, we have

$E' = \frac{1}{8} E$
