Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?
2 answers:
Answer:
They have a dual wave-particle nature.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).
Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option
They have a dual wave-particle nature.
is correct.
Other options are wrong because:
They are all invisible. --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible
They can only travel without a medium. --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum
They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, , while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)

Answer:
Q = 7272 Kilojoules.
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass = 2.0*101kg = 202kg
Initial temperature, T1 = 10°C
Final temperature, T2 = 90°C
We know that the specific heat capacity of iron = 450J/kg°C
*To find the quantity of heat*
Heat capacity is given by the formula;
Where;
- Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.
- m represents the mass of an object.
- c represents the specific heat capacity of water.
- dt represents the change in temperature.
dt = T2 - T1
dt = 90 - 10
dt = 80°C
Substituting the values into the equation, we have;
Q = 7272KJ or 7272000 Joules.
Answer:
(A). The flux is 0.336 N.m²/C
(B). The flux is zero.
Explanation:
Given that,
Length = 4.2 cm
Width = 4.0 cm
Electric field
Area vector is perpendicular to xy plane
(A). We need to calculate the flux
Using formula of flux
Where, E = electric field
A = area
Put the value into the formula
(B). Given electric field
We need to calculate the flux
Using formula of flux
Put the value into the formula
Here, The component of k is not given
So, the flux is
Hence, (A). The flux is -0.336 N.m²/C
(B). The flux is zero.
