A sinusoidal electromagnetic wave is propagating in a vacuum in the +z-direction.

Lostsunrise [7]3 years ago

Answer:

a) 1.13 10-8 T.  b) +y direction

Explanation:

a)

For an electromagnetic wave propagating in a vacuum, the wave speed is c = 3. 108 m/s.

At a long distance from the source, the components of the wave (electric and magnetic fields) can be considered as plane waves, so the equations for them can be written as follows:

E(z,t) = Emax cos (kz-ωt-φ) +x

B(z,t) = Bmax cos (kz-ωt-φ) +y

In an electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field and the electric field, at any time, and at any point in space, as the perturbation is propagating at a speed equal to c (light speed in vacuum), are related by this expression:

Bmax = Emax/c

So, solving for Bmax:

Bmax = 3.4 V/m / 3 108 m/s = 1.13 10-8 T.

b) As we have already said, in an electromagnetic wave, the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular each other and to the propagation direction, so in this case, the magnetic field propagates in the +y direction.

Naomi is taking a train from DC to New York which is 360km apart. If the train is traveling at an average speed of 32 meters per
rodikova [14]

Answer:

11250 seconds or 187.5 mins

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is that of speed.

Speed (in m/s) = distance (meter) ÷ time (secs)

The speed provided is 32 meters per second

The distance provided will have to be converted to meters; 360 km = 360 × 1000 = 360000 meters

Thus,

32 = 360000 ÷ time

time = 360000 ÷ 32

time = 11250 seconds or 187.5 mins

It will take Naomi 11250 seconds to get to New York

What type of mirror can produce both<br> converging and diverging rays?
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

A convex mirror is a diverging mirror (f is negative) and forms only one type of image. It is a case 3 image—one that is upright and smaller than the object, just as for diverging lenses.

Explanation:

hope this helps have a good night :)

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ

Nresistors, each having resistance equal to 1 2, are arranged in a circuit first in series and then in parallel. What is the rat
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

option (b)

Explanation:

Let the resistance of each resistor is R.

In series combination,

The effective resistance is Rs.

rs = r + R + R + .... + n times = NR

Let V be the source of potential difference.

Power in series

Ps = v^2 / Rs = V^2 / NR ..... (1)

In parallel combination

the effective resistance is Rp

1 / Rp = 1 / R + 1 / R + .... + N times

1 / Rp = N / R

Rp = R / N

Power is parallel

Rp = v^2 / Rp = N V^2 / R    ..... (2)

Divide equation (1) by equation (2) we get

Ps / Pp = 1 / N^2
