Physics
1 answer:
True [87]3 years ago

Answer:

Propagation of an Electromagnetic Wave. Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum of outer space. Mechanical waves, unlike electromagnetic waves, require the presence of a material medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another.

A 3.50-meter length of wire with a cross-sectional area of 3.14 × 10-6 meter2 is at 20° Celsius. If the wire has a resistance of
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m

Explanation:

Resistivity is given by \rho=\frac {AR}{L} where A is cross-sectional area, R is resistance, L is the length and \rho is the reistivity. Substituting 0.0625 for R, 3.14 × 10-6 for A and 3.5 m for L then the resistivity is equivalent to

\rho=\frac {3.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.0625}{3.5}=5.60714285714285714285714285714285714285\times 10^{-8}\approx 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ Ohm.m

Josh is much bigger than taylor. after the push, which of the two is moving faster?
egoroff_w [7]
If E = 1/2 * m * v^2
v = (2E/m)^1/2
so the larger the mass, the higher the velocity hence taylor is moving faster

Blue light has a shorter wavelength than yellow light. Which color has the higher frequency. O Blue O Yellow O They have the sam
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Blue light has the higher frequency.

Explanation:

Remember that the relation between wavelength and frequency for any electromagnetic wave in the vacuum is

f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

where c is the speed of light in the vacuum. As you can see, the relation between frequency and wavelength is inversely proportional. The higher is the wavelength, the lower is the frequency.
