A) The magnetic field doubles as well

The relationship between rms value of the electric field and rms value of the magnetic field for an electromagnetic wave is the following:

E_{rms}=cB_{rms}

where

E_rms is the magnitude of the electric field

c is the speed of light

B_rms is the magnitude of the magnetic field

From the equation, we see that the electric field and the magnetic field are directly proportional: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, then the rms value of the magnetic field will double as well.

B) The intensity will quadruple

The intensity of an electromagnetic wave is given by

I=\frac{1}{2}c\epsilon_0 E_0^2

where

c is the speed of light

\epsilon_0 is the vacuum permittivity

E_0 is the peak intensity of the electric field

The rms value of the electric field is related to the peak value by

E_{rms}=\frac{E_0}{\sqrt{2}}

So we can rewrite the equation for the intensity as

I=c\epsilon_0 E_{rms}^2

we see that the intensity is proportional to the square of the rms value of the electric field: therefore, if the rms value of the electric field is doubled, the average intensity of the wave will quadruple.

The answer using the graphical method and analytical method of vector addition will always be.
Alex17521 [72]

The answer using the graphical method and analytical method of vector addition will always be

C. Same

Analytic method means adding vectors (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) give (x₁+x₂,y₁+y₂)

Example: Addition of (2,3) and (1,1) gives (3,4)

Solving it graphically will also give (3,4)

Earth's rotational axis completes one precession every _____.
ruslelena [56]

A). Earth completes one rotation on its rotation axis
every (3 minutes and 56 seconds less than 24 hours).
This causes night and day.  It's rotation, not precession.

B).  Earth completes one orbital revolution around the sun
every (365 plus a little bit) days.  It's revolution, not precession.

C).  I'm not sure what happens on a cycle of 512 years.
It may have something to do with the moon.  But whatever
it is, it's not precession.

D).  When you spin a top and it starts to run down, the first
thing that happens is that the handle of the top, or the point
on top of the top, starts moving in a circle.  That's precession.
That's what the Earth's axis is doing.  The north pole points
toward the north star (Polaris) now.  But the north pole is
actually drawing out a big circle in the sky, and other stars
will become the "north star" far in the future.
The north pole draws out a full circle in the sky, roughly
once every 26,000 years.  That's precession.

Sound travels faster through rigid material like steel rather than through spongy materials like rubber. Why?
drek231 [11]
<span>since sound travels using mechanical waves and needs a material medium to propagate and since mechanical waves spread through vibrations ...and since hard materials have their atoms packed closely....they need to vibrate with a smaller amplitude to pass on the wave....thus sound travels faster in a denser medium than a less dense one.</span>

Refrigerant-134a enters the expansion valve of a refrigeration system at 160 psia as a saturated liquid and leaves at 30 psia. D
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Temperature : 92.9 F

Internal Energy change: -2.53 Btu/lbm

Explanation:

As

mh1=mh2

h1=h2

In table A-11 through 13E

p2=120Psi, h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm,

u1=41.49

So T1=90.49 F

P2=20Psi

h2=h1= 41.79 Btu/lbm

T2= -2.43F

u2= 38.96 Btu/lbm

T2-T1 = 92.9 F

u2-u1 = -2.53 Btu/lbm
