There is a force of gravity acting downward on the object,
and no force acting upward on it. 

Since the vertical forces on it are unbalanced, it accelerates
in the direction of the net vertical force, which is downward.

Yellow light with wavelength 600 nm is travelling to the left (in the negative x direction) in vacuum. The light is polarized al
kiruha [24]

Answer: (a) and (b) => check attached file.

(c). Picture (a) and (b) will both remain the same.

Explanation:

IMPORTANT: The solution to the question (a) and (b) that is  (a) Draw a neat snapshot mode labeled vector picture of the wave. (b) Draw a neat movie mode labeled vector picture of the wave is there in the ATTACHED FILE/PICTURE.

It is also worthy of note to know that in anything Electromagnetic wave, the magnetic field, the Electric Field and their direction of propagation are perpendicular to each other.

Therefore, knowing the fact above we can say that in yellow light, the magnetic field is in the y-direction and the Electric Field is in the z-direction.

Hence, the solution to option C is given below;

(C).If the wave were to represent blue light instead of yellow light, picture (a) will remain the same because both light are Electromagnetic wave, although the wavelength will have to change. Picture (b) will also remain the same because they are both Electromagnetic waves and possess similar properties.
