First of all, the question is vague as you haven't mentioned the medium of propagation of the wave, which is extremely crucial.

For example light travels at <span>299,792</span> km/second in vacuum, but in certain semiconductors, it travels as slow as 9 km/second. Sound, ocean and seismic waves don't exist in vacuum at all.

If you mean the maximum possible speed any of these options can attain in any medium of choice for the different options, then the answer would be 
b. radio waves, which travel exactly at the speed of light in vacuum (299,792 km/second) and with an almost similar(slightly less) speed in air. (Radio waves are nothing but electromagnetic waves with low frequency)

An 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 8.5 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign
Temka [501]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of radio signal is

f = 800kHz = 800,000 Hz.

Distance from transmitter

d = 8.5km = 8500m

Electric field amplitude

E = 0.9 V/m

The average energy density can be calculated using

U_E = ½•ϵo•E²

Where ϵo = 8.85 × 10^-12 F/m

Then,

U_E = ½ × 8.85 × 10^-12 × 0.9²

U_E = 3.58 × 10^-12 J/m²

The average electromagnetic energy density is 3.58 × 10^-12 J/m²

What problem do refractor telescopes have that reflectors don't? Group of answer choices bad seeing light loss from secondary el
Paul [167]

chromatic aberration problem do refractor telescopes have that reflectors don't

<u>Explanation:</u>

Chromatic aberration is a phenom in which light rays crossing through a lens focus at various points, depending on their wavelength. Chromatic aberration is a dilemma in which lens or refracting, telescopes undergo from. The various image distances for the respective colors affect various image sizes for them.

This involves the creation of disturbing color fringes in the image. Chromatic aberration can be pretty well adjusted by the use of an achromatic doublet. Here, a positive biconvex lens is coupled with a negative lens placed backward with greater dispersion. Thus partly compensates for the chromatic aberration.

What is the unit for electrical power?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The answer is Watt

Explanation:

Electricity is measured in Watts and kilowatts

Electricity is measured in units of power called Watts, named to honor James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. A Watt is the unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under the pressure of one volt. One Watt is a small amount of power.

The sum of the charges on both plates of a capacitor is zero. What does a capacitor store?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Current is the overall flow of electrons through a conductor and can be defined as the speed of the flow of electrons. Resistance is defined as the opposition to current flow. Circuits must have resistance  to convert electrical energy into light, heat, or motion. Resistance is called the directional movement of electrons that form an electric current. It is also known that  electrons do not move freely in the crystal structure of a conductor. Resistance is the inherent opposition to the flow of electrons present in a conductor. Inductance is the property of any circuit to resist any change in current while capacitance is the property of the circuit to resist any change in voltage.

<h3>What is capacitor?</h3>

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores an electrical charge. Capacitors consist of two close conductors (usually plates) separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate an electrical charge when connected to a power source. The main purpose of a capacitor is to store electrostatic energy in an electric field and, if possible, to supply this energy to an electrical circuit.

To avoid dangerous circuit failure, they allow alternating current to flow but block direct current. Capacitors are widely used as circuit elements in many common electrical devices. Commercial capacitors are made of interwoven metal foils with paraffin or Mylar-impregnated paper as the dielectric.
