Ans: C) 300,000 kilometers per second

Electromagnetic waves are created by the movement of charges. This results in the generation of electric and magnetic fields which oscillate in a direction perpendicular to each other.

Electromagnetic waves carry a certain wavelength, frequency and speed. The speed of such waves as they travel through space is equal to the speed of light (c) = 3*10⁸ m/s

since 1 km = 10³ m

speed, c = 1 km * 3*10⁸ ms-1/10³ m

= 300, 000 km/s

A(n) 82.7 kg boxer has his first match in the Canal Zone with gravitational acceleration 9.782 m/s 2 and his second match at the

Annette [7]

Answer:

82.7 kg

Explanation:

the mass of the boxer remains unchanged, this is because mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object irrespective of its location and the gravitational force acting at its location. this means mass is independent of the gravitational acceleration hence it remains the same 82.7 kg. its unit is in kilograms (Kg).

What is the greatest distance an image can be located behind a convex spherical mirror?

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Maximum distance of image from mirror is equal to focal length of the mirror

Explanation:

As we know by the equation of mirror we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we know for convex mirror

object position is always negative as it will be placed behind the mirror always

while the focal length of the convex mirror is always taken positive

So here we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{-d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{f}$

so here maximum value of image distance is equal to focal length of the mirror

What is the definition of reflection of light?

Savatey [412]

Answer: Reflection is the change in direction of a wavefront at an interface between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.
