The three properties of electromagnetic waves are; they travel at the speed of light, they include ultraviolet waves, and they can transfer energy through empty space.
<h2>Further Explanation</h2><h3>A wave</h3>
- A wave is a transmission of a disturbance. It involves transmission of energy from one point which is the source to another point.
- Waves may be classified depending on the need for a transmission medium or based on the vibration of particles relative to the direction of wave motion.
- Waves may be either transverse or longitudinal based on the direction of wave motion relative to the vibration of particles
- Additionally waves may be classified as either electromagnetic wave or mechanical based on the need for a transmission medium.
<h3>Electromagnetic waves </h3>
- Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
- All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum are electromagnetic transverse waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
- They include; radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultra-violet, x-rays, and gamma rays.
- All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum travel with a speed of light, 3.0 x10^8 m/s.
- Additionally, electromagnetic waves possess energy that is given by; E = hf; where h is the plank's constant and f is the frequency.

Answer:
a) 23.2 e V
b) energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV
Explanation:
given,
energy at ground level = -13.6 e V
energy at first exited state = - 3.4 e V
A photon of energy ionized from ground state and electron of energy K is released.
h ν₁ - 13.6 = K
K combine with photon in first exited state giving out photon of energy
= 26.6 e V
h c = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 3 × 10⁸ = 12400 e V A°
K + ( 3.4 ) = 26.6 e V
a) energy of free electron
K = 26.6 - 3.4 = 23.2 e V
b) energy of the original photon
h ν₁ - 13.6 = K
h ν₁ = 23.2 + 13.6
= 36.8 e V
energy of the original photon is 36.8 eV
Now let’s say you’re on the Moon. If you were to drop a hammer and a feather from the same height, which would hit the ground first?
Trick Question! On the moon both objects would hit the ground at the same time. On Earth, the hammer lands first.
So yeah, the student is right. Galileo gave us this theory long ago.
But
- Hence higher the radius lower the voltage
- Lower the voltage higher the capacitance .
