Explain why light is referred to as electromagnetic radiation.

Physics
1 answer:
balu736 [363]4 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.

klasskru [66]

Answer:

T=2\pi \times \sqrt {\frac {g}{\mu R}

Explanation:

\mu mw^{2}R=mg

where m is the mass, g is acceleration due to gravity

The masses m are on both sides hence they cancel

W=\sqrt {\frac {g}{\mu R}

We know that T=2\pi W and substituting W with the above equation then

T=2\pi \times \sqrt {\frac {g}{\mu R}

A automotive test driver travels due north in a prototype hybrid vehicle at 30 mi/h
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Option A. 40 mi/h

Explanation:

To obtain the average speed of the vehicle, we'll begin by calculating the distance travelled by the vehicle in each case. This is illustrated below:

Case 1:

Speed = 30 mi/h

Time = 2 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

30 = Distance /2

Cross multiply

Distance = 30 × 2

Distance = 60 mi

Case 2:

Speed = 60 mi/h

Time = 1 h

Distance =...?

Speed = Distance /Time

60 = Distance /1

Cross multiply

Distance = 60 × 1

Distance = 60 mi

Finally, we shall determine the average speed of the vehicle as follow:

Total distance travelled = 60 + 60

Total distance travelled = 120 mi

Total time = 2 + 1

Total time = 3 h

Average speed =..?

Average speed = Total Distance travelled /Total time

Average speed = 120/3

Average speed = 40 mi/h

Therefore, the average speed of the vehicle is 40 mi/h

A current of 200 mA through a conductor converts 40 joules of electrical energy into heat in 30 second
Komok [63]

Answer:

V = 6.65 [volt]

Explanation:

First, we must calculate the power by means of the following equation, where the voltage is related to the energy produced or consumed in a given time.

P=E/t\\P = 40/30\\P = 1.33[s]

Using the power we can calculate the voltage, by means of the following equation that relates the voltage to the current.

P=V*I

where:

V = voltage [Volts]

I = current = 200 [mA] = 0.2 [A]

V = 1.33/0.2\\V = 6.65 [volt]

Suppose that the loudspeaker in the problem had a mass of 500 kg and the ropes hung 20∘ from the vertical. Into which of the fol
nexus9112 [7]

The following intervals would you expect T(tension) to fall : <u>2000 to 4000 N </u>

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

The force acting on a system with static equilibrium is 0

\large{\boxed{\bold{\sum F=0}}

(forces acting as translational motion only, not including rotational forces)

\displaystyle \sum F_x = 0\\\\ \sum F_y = 0

We complete the questions:

A 20-kg loudspeaker is suspended 2.0 m below the ceiling by two ropes that are each 30? from vertical.

Find the value of T, the magnitude of the tension in either of the ropes.

Express your answer in newtons.

Suppose that the loudspeaker in the problem has a mass of 500 kg and the ropes hung 20? from the vertical. Into which of the following intervals would you expect T to fall? You don't have to calculate Texactly to answer this question; just make an estimate.

500 to 1000 N

1000 to 2000 N

2000 to 4000 N

4000 to 8000 N

8000 to 16,000 N

In a 500-kg loudspeaker system and two ropes that are each 20° from vertical, we see the forces acting on the y axis (vertical)

\displaystyle \sum F_y = 0\\\\T1_y+T2_y-w=0\\\\T1~cos~20^o+T2~cos~20^o=m\times g

we assume g = 10 m/s², then :

\displaystyle 2T~cos~20=500\times 10\\\\T~cos~20=2500\\\\\boxed{\bold{T=26592 N}}}

So the value of T is between 2000 and 4000 N
