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.

In what way are gravitational and electrical forces similar?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact  or not.

Explanation:

- The gravitational force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having mass. This force is always attractive and its magnitude is given by

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the two masses, and r is the distance between the two masses.

- The electrical force is a force that is exerted between two (or more) objects having electrical charge. It can be either attractive or repulsive, depending on the sign of the two charges, and its magnitude is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the two charges, and r the distance between the two charges.

Looking at both formulas, we see that the two forces are present even when the two objects are not in contact with each other (in fact, r can assume any value in the formula). They are said to be non-contact forces. Therefore, the correct option is

D. Both occur between objects independently whether they are in contact  or not.

Suppose the initial kinetic energy and final potential energy in an experiment are both zero. What can you conclude?
Kisachek [45]

Initially, the experiment has only potential energy (since total energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy). And at the end, the experment has only kinetic energy.

A woman pushes an oak chest across an oak floor at a constant speed of 0.450 m/s. The chest has a mass of 40.0 kg, and the coeff
natima [27]

Answer:

A. 243 N

Explanation:

Friction is the force that opposes the relative motion between systems that are in contact.

This friction force that opposes the motion of the oak chest across the oak surface will be equal and opposite to that exerted by the woman.

First find the normal force which is the force that would point directly upwards to support weight of the block.

Normal force, N= mg where m is the mass of the chest and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given m=40 kg and g=9.80 m/s²

N force=40×9.80 =392N

Then find the force of friction which is given by the formula;

<em>F=μN where μ is friction coefficient for the  oak chest  and N is the normal force on the chest</em>

Given <em>μ</em>=0.620  and N force = 392 N then it will be;

F=0.620× 392 =243.04 N

Answer : 243 N

The energy E of the electron in a hydrogen atom can be calculated from the Bohr formula: =E−Ryn2 In this equation Ry stands for
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

  λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Bohr's model for the hydrogen atom gives energy by the equation

         E_{n} = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n²)

Where k is the Coulomb constant, e and m the charge and mass of the electron respectively and n is an integer

The Planck equation

           E = h f

The speed of light is

          c = λ f

          E = h c /λ

For a transition between two states we have

          E_{n} - E_{m} = - k²e² / 2m (1 / n_{f}² -1 / n_{i}²)

           h c / λ = -k² e² / 2m (1 / n_{f}² - 1/ n_{i}²)

           1 / λ = (- k² e² / 2m h c) (1 / n_{f}² - 1/n_{i}²)

The Rydberg constant with a value of 1,097 107 m-1 is the result of the constant in parentheses

Let's calculate the emission of the transition

            1 /λ = 1.097 10⁷ (1/10² - 1/8²)

            1 / λ = 1.097 10⁷ (0.01 - 0.015625)

            1 /λ = 0.006170625 10⁷

            λ = 162 10⁻⁷ m
