Explain why light is referred to as electromagnetic radiation.

Physics
1 answer:
balu736 [363]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation because it has the ability to travel from one type of medium to another and can also carry some energy along with it. A light wave has two components, namely the electric field component as well as the magnetic field component that are both perpendicular to the propagating direction.

The visible light lies between the ultraviolet and the infrared lights, with wavelength from 400 nm to 700 nm respectively. This is collectively known as the visible spectrum of light.

The impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.

<h3>What is impulse?</h3>

The term impulse is defined a the product of the force and time. We know that the impulse is high when a large force acts for a short time.

From the experiment if the students, we can conclude that  the impulse was greater in the first experiment because the egg broke.

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Tungsten wire is used as the filament in light bulbs. It glows white-hot as current passes through it.

Tungsten is used in light bulbs because its high <u>RESISTANCE</u>  converts electric energy into light and heat.

A long wire carries a current toward the north in a magnetic field that is directed vertically downward perpendicular to the sur
xenn [34]

The direction of the magnetic force on the wire is west.

The magnetic force acting on the moving protons acts northward in the horizontal plane. If the thumb is up (current flows vertically up), the wrapped finger will be counterclockwise.

Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is counterclockwise. Here, the magnetic field is pointing upwards (vertical magnetic field) and the electrons are moving east. Applying Fleming's left-hand rule here, we can see that the direction of force is along the south direction.

As the change in magnetic flux increases upwards, Lenz's law indicates that the induced magnetic field of the induced current must resist and the inside of the loop must be directed downwards. Using the right-hand rule, we can see that a clockwise current is induced.
