How do you know that waves sent from the sun to earth are not mechanical waves? Explain

Mechanical waves require matter to travel medium. If there is no substance or matter to travel through, mechanical waves cannot propagate.

Since space is mostly vacuum, there is no medium for waves to travel through: waves sent by the sun (electromagnetic waves) are not mechanical waves

Write equations for both the electric and magnetic fields for an electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum th
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The peak magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum is 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T.

<h3>Relationship between electric and magnetic field</h3>

The relationship between electric and magnetic field at a given peak electric field is given as;

c = (E₀) / (B₀)

where;

  • c is speed of light
  • E₀ is the peak electric field
  • B₀ is the peak magnetic field

B₀ = E₀ / c

B₀ = (2.9) / (3 x 10⁹)

B₀ = 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T

Thus, the peak magnetic field of the electromagnetic wave in the red part of the visible spectrum is 9.67 x 10⁻¹⁰ T.

What is the acceleration of a 7 kg mass if the force of 70 N is used to move it toward the Earth?
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

m is the mass

f is the force

From the question we have

a =  \frac{70}{7}  = 10 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
