Answer:

(a) False

(b) True

(c) True

(d) True

(e) True

(f) True

Explanation:

(a) Maxwell's equations not only applies to constant fields but it applies to both the fields, i.e., Time variant field as well as Time Invariant field.

(b) We make use of the Modified form of the Ampere's law and Faraday's Law to derive the wave equation.

(c) Electromagnetic waves contains both the electric and magnetic fields and these fields oscillates at an angle of 90^{\circ}C to the direction of wave propagation.

(d) In free space both the electric and magnetic fields are in phase while considering electromagnetic waves.

(e) In free space or vacuum, the expression for the speed of light in terms of electric and magnetic field is given as:

c = \frac{E}{B}

Thus the ratio of the magnitudes of the electric and magnetic field vectors are equal to the speed of light in free space.

(f) In free space or in vacuum the energy density of the electromagnetic wave is divided equally in both the fields and hence are equal.

How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Read below!

Explanation:

You can watch the sun wheel across the sky during the day, and the stars at night. Focus a telescope on any star besides the north star--especially southern stars--and you can watch them drift across your field of view.  

An alternative explanation is that all the stars are painted on (or holes in) some canopy that rotates around the earth. This explanation does not account for the motion of the "wanderers," or planets, as the Greeks called them, or for the path of the moon among the stars.  

As we know the stars are massive bodies of significant and varying distance to the earth, the notion they all swing around us in unison seems highly implausible

What do hydrogen and helium have in common?
Savatey [412]

Atomic disguise makes helium look like hydrogen. ... A helium atom consists of a nucleus containing two positively charged protons and two neutrons, encircled by two orbiting electrons which carry a negative charge. A hydrogen atom has just one proton and one electron

What type of heat do we get from sun
seraphim [82]
The type of heat that the Sun emits is called UV (Ultra Violet) rays. This is a natural type of heat, but it can also be dangerous if you expose yourself to too much UV heat, causing "sunburns", or even skin cancer.

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦
bija089 [108]
At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
pV=nRT
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1} the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol
