Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

Scientists studying an anomalous magnetic field find that it is inducing a circular electric field in a plane perpendicular to t
yarga [219]

Answer

The rate at which the magnetic field is changing is  [\frac{dB}{dt} ] =  0.000467 T/s

Explanation

From the question we are told that

   The electric field strength is E =  3.5mV/m =  3.5 *10^{-3} \ V/m

    The radius is  r =  1.5 \ m

The rate of change of the  magnetic  field  is mathematically represented as

        \frac{d \phi }{dt}  =  \int\limits^{} {E \cdot dl}

Where dl is change of a unit length

     \frac{d \phi}{dt}  =  A *  \frac{dB}{dt}

Where A is the area which is mathematically represented as

     A = \pi r^2

    So

    E \int\limits^{} {  dl} =  ( \pi r^2) (\frac{dB}{dt} )  

  E L  =  ( \pi r^2) (\frac{dB}{dt} )  

where L is the circumference of the circle which is mathematically represented as

     L = 2 \pi r

So

     E (2 \pi r ) =  (\pi r^2 ) [\frac{dB}{dt} ]

      E  =   \frac{r}{2}  [\frac{dB}{dt} ]

       [\frac{dB}{dt} ] = \frac{E}{ \frac{r}{2} }

substituting values

      [\frac{dB}{dt} ] = \frac{3.5 *10^{-3}}{ \frac{15}{2} }

      [\frac{dB}{dt} ] =  0.000467 T/s

A vertically polarized beam of light of intensity 100 W/m2 passes through two ideal polarizers. The transmission axis of the fir
TEA [102]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the Malus Law. Malus's law indicates that the intensity of a linearly polarized beam of light, which passes through a perfect analyzer with a vertical optical axis is equivalent to:

I=I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_ {0} indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer,

I is the resulting intensity, and

\theta indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light.

Since we have two objects the law would be,

I=I_0cos^2\theta_1*cos^2(\theta_2-\theta_1)

Replacing the values,

I=100*cos^2(20)*cos^2(40-20)

I=100*cos^4(20)

I=77.91W/m^2

Therefore the intesity of the light after it has passes through both polarizers is 77.91W/m^2

A wave with a low frequency generally has a _____.
Artyom0805 [142]
Its C because if it is a low frequency it will not change much so it will be a longer wavelength and the higher the frequency the shorter the wavelength

Why do you keep moving forward when you slam on the brakes of your bike?
g100num [7]
Because the act of braking is an example of negative acceleration.
Example: if the rate of braking was say 2 meters per second^2, and the starting velocity was 10 m/s, it would take 5 seconds to come to a stop(during those 5 seconds you would still be moving).

A car is traveling at 10 m/s. 10 seconds later the car is traveling 40 m/s. What is the car’s acceleration?
ratelena [41]

Answer:

a = 3 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vi = 10 m/s

Vf = 40 m/s

t = 10 s

Plug those values into the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at

40 = 10 + 10a

---> a = 3 m/s^2
