  • <u>The longest wavelength is of the wave shown in figure B. </u>
  • <u>The greatest energy is of the wave shown in figure C. </u>
  • <u>The greatest frequency is of the wave shown in figure C. </u>
  • <u>The lowest amplitude is of the wave shown in figure A. </u>

Further Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves have three basic properties and these basic properties of the electromagnetic waves determine its other properties like energy, strength etc.

<u>Part 1: </u>

Wavelength:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is the length of the one full oscillation of the wave about its equilibrium position.

Therefore, the above shown diagrams, the wave in the figure B has the maximum wavelength as it covers the maximum distance in completing its one oscillation about the equilibrium position.

Thus, <u>the longest wavelength is of the wave shown in figure B. </u>

<u>Part 2: </u>

Energy:

The energy associated with an electromagnetic wave is determined by the amplitude of oscillation of the wave about its equilibrium position.

The wave having higher amplitude of oscillation is considered to have higher energy and vice versa.

Thus, <u>the greatest energy is of the wave shown in figure C. </u>

<u>Part 3: </u>

Frequency:

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is the number of oscillations performed by the wave in one second while propagating through the medium.

The frequency of a wave is higher if it completes the more number of oscillations in the same time as compared to the other wave.

Thus, <u>the greatest frequency is of the wave shown in figure C.</u>

<u>Part 4: </u>

Amplitude:

The amplitude of oscillation of an electromagnetic wave is the maximum distance covered by the wave on one side of its equilibrium position.

In the above shown figure, the wave in the option A covers the minimum distance along the vertical axis about its equilibrium position.

Thus, <u>the lowest amplitude is of the wave shown in figure A. </u>

Explanation :

(1) Wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

<em>In this case, the distance between two consecutive crests is maximum in B.</em>

(2) The energy of the wave depends on its amplitude. In this case,<em> </em><em>C shows maximum amplitude. So, it will have greatest energy.</em>

(3) number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of the wave. <em>In this case, C will have maximum frequency.</em>

(4) The amplitude of the wave is the maximum displacement of the particle. <em>In this case, wave A have the lowest amplitude.</em>

Hence, this is the required solution.

Dvinal [7]

Answer:

4363.3231 feets²

Explanation:

Given that :

Distance, r = 50 ft

θ = 200°

The arc length of area covered :

Arc length = θ/360° * πr²

Arc length = (200/360) * 50 ft ^2 * π

Arc length = 0.5555555 * 2500 * π

Arc length = 4363.3231 feets²

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

a)   S = 2.35 10³   J/m²2 ,  

b)and the tape recorder must be in the positive Z-axis direction.

the answer is 5

c) the direction of the positive x axis

Explanation:

a) The Poynting vector or intensity of an electromagnetic wave is

          S = 1 /μ₀ E x B

if we use that the fields are in phase

          B = E / c

we substitute

         S = E² /μ₀ c

let's calculate

        s = 941 2 / (4π 10⁻⁷  3 10⁸)

        S = 2.35 10³   J/m²2

 

b) the two fields are perpendicular to each other and in the direction of propagation of the radiation

In this case, the electro field is in the y direction and the wave propagates in the ax direction, so the magnetic cap must be in the y-axis direction, and the tape recorder must be in the positive Z-axis direction.

the answer is 5

C) The poynting electrode has the direction of the electric field, by which or which should be in the direction of the positive x axis

PLEASE HURRY!!!!<br>why does the temperature change?
svet-max [94.6K]
Wind, radiation, and the sun are all factors that change the temperature.

Solar heating of the Earth's surface is uneven because land heats faster than water, and this causes air to warm, expand and rise over land while it cools and sinks over the cooler water surfaces.
