Answer:

"Electromagnetic radiation travels or propagates through space in the form of a wave but can interact with matter as a particle of energy called a photon. This dual nature is referred to as" <u>Wave particle duality</u>  (answer)

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation is created when an atomic particle, such as an electron, is accelerated by an electric field, causing it to move, and it is a form of energy that spreads as both magnetic and electrical waves that travels in vessels of energy called photons.

All types of electromagnetic radiation travel at the speed of light, radiation can be also described in terms of particles of energy, called photons. Electromagnetic radiation is generated when an electrical charge is accelerated. The acceleration produces oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Electromagnetic radiation ranges from gamma rays with very short wavelength to long radio waves. Electromagnetic radiation has the dual nature: its exhibits wave properties and photon properties.

Waves are characterized by frequency, wavelength, speed and phase, where as, a photon is the basic unit of all light. Wave particle duality can be explained as when an entity exhibits a wavelike and a particlelike properties though these properties never appear simultaneously.

jekas [21]

Answer:

2.2 m/s

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

To calculate change in stored energy at desired extension

ΔU = 1/2*k*(δx)^2

     = 1/2*3700*(0.37^2-0.180^2)

     = 201 N.m

use work energy theorem

ΔU = ΔK = 1/2*m*v^2 = 201

              = 2.2 m/s

<u>note:</u>

calculation maybe wrong but method is correct.

Tammy leaves the office, drives 34 km due north, then turns onto a second highway and continues in a direction of 35◦ north of e
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The total displacement is 102 km 51^o north of east.

Explanation:

We can treat this problem as a trigonometric one, so we need to calculate the total displacement on the north and east.

d_n=34km+79km*sin(35^o)=79km

and

d_e=79*cos(35^o)=65km

The total displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{(79km)^2+(65km)^2}=102km

with an agle of:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{79km}{65km})=51^o

A rocket, which is in deep space and initially at rest relative to an inertial reference frame, has a mass of 50.2 × 105 kg, of
AysviL [449]

Answer:

165.2762 m/sec

Explanation:

The initial mass of the rocket and the fuel

M₀ = 5.02e6 kg

The initial mass of the fuel

Mf₀ = 1.25e6 kg

The rate of fuel consumption

dm/dt = 370 kg/sec

The duration of the rocket burn

Δt = 450 sec

The rocket exhaust speed

Ve = 4900 m/sec

The thrust, T

T = Ve (dm/dt) = 1813000 kg m/sec²

The mass of the expended propellant, ΔM

ΔM = Δt (dm/dt) = 166500 kg

The rocket's mass after the burn

M₁ = M₀ − ΔM = 4853500 kg

The speed of the rocket after the burn

Δv = Ve ln(M₀/M₁) = 165.2762 m/sec

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 0.39 m and a speed
gogolik [260]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option B</h3>

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave can be found by using the formula

f =  \frac{c}{ \lambda}  \\

where

c is the velocity

From the question

wavelength = 0.39 m

c = 86 m/s

We have

f =  \frac{86}{0.39}  \\  = 220.512820...

We have the final answer as

<h3>200 Hz</h3>

Hope this helps you
