Which statement best describes light, whether polarized or unpolarized?
2 answers:
Answer:
C. light in which the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave
Explanation:
Light is an electromagnetic wave in which electric field vector and magnetic field vector both oscillates perpendicular to each other and also these two components are perpendicular to the propagation of wave.
As we know that the direction of velocity of wave is given by the formula
so here the velocity vector must be perpendicular to vector E and vector B
so here correct answer will be
C. light in which the electric and magnetic vectors oscillate perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

A) The motion of the ball consists of two indipendent motions on the horizontal (x) and vertical (y) axis. The laws of motion in the two directions are:
where
- the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant speed
, where 
and 
- the vertical motion is an uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration
, initial position h (the height of the building) and initial vertical velocity 
(with a negative sign, since it points downwards)
The ball strikes the ground after a time t=3.00 s, so we can find the distance covered horizontally by the ball by substituting t=3.00 s into the equation of x(t):
b) To find the height from which the ball was thrown, h, we must substitute t=3.00 s into the equation of y(t), and requiring that y(3.00 s)=0 (in fact, after 3 seconds the ball reaches the ground, so its vertical position y(t) is zero). Therefore, we have:
which becomes
c) We want the ball to reach a point 10.0 meters below the level of launching, so we want to find the time t such that
If we substitute this into the equation of y(t), we have
whose solution is
(the other solution is negative, so it has no physical meaning). Therefore, the ball reaches a point 10 meters below the level of launching after 1.18 s.
