Theo made a list of the properties of electromagnetic waves. Identify the mistake in the list. Electromagnetic Wave Properties 1
2 answers:
Answer:
Line 3 has a mistake.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to the each other. Therefore, Line 1 is correct.
Also, the fields in an electromagnetic waves oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave: therefore, they are transverse waves. So Line 2 is also correct.
Electromagnetic waves, contrary to mechanical waves, do not need a medium to propagate: so, they can also travel through a vacuum. Therefore, Line 3 is wrong.
Finally, all electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum at the same speed, called speed of light:
So, Line 4 is also correct.

Answer : Height, h = 20.4 m
Explanation :
It is given that,
Mass of an object, m = 500 g = 0.5 kg
Gravitational potential energy, PE = 100 J
The Gravitational potential energy is the energy which is possessed due to the height and gravity of an object. It is given as :
PE = m g h
where,
h is the height of the cliff.
h = 20.40 m
So, the height of the cliff is 20.4 m.
Answer:
The acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration of an object on a circular path is given by :
Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Let is distance of Abbie from the merry-go-round and
is distance of Zak's from the merry-go-round. Acceleration of Abbie is :
...... (1)
Acceleration of Zak's is :
.......(2)
Dividing equation (1) and (2) we get :
So, the acceleration of Abbie is half of the Zak's.
