ll the electron move?
A. It will bob up and down with the crests and troughs
B. It'll be pushed entirely along the direction the wave is moving (perpendicular to the crests and troughs)

Answer:

D) True. Explain the oscillation and movement in the direction of the wave

Explanation:

To review the possible answers, let's look at the characteristics of the electromagnetic wave.

The wave has a fluctuating electric field and magnetic field, perpendicular to its direction of movement, these fields interact with the electron by measuring the electric force

The speed of the wave is perpendicular to the fluctuating fields (transverse wave). This wave exerts a radiation pressure on the particles that it finds, in its path, since it carries energy, this pressure is a force that pushes the direction electron The wave is traveling.

Let's check the answers

A) False. The electron will oscillate with the frequency of the wave, but the movement does not explain the direction of the wave

B) False. It is pushed by the radiation pressure, but does not explain the oscillation of the electron

C) False. Does it move

D) True. Explain the oscillation and movement in the direction of the wave

the electron are accelrated to a speed of 2.40*10^7 in 1.8*10^-9, the force experinced by an electron ?
dalvyx [7]
Force = mass × acceleration

To find acceleration, we can divide the speed by the time it took:

acceleration = 2.40×10^7 / 1.8×10^-9

acceleration = 1.33×10^16

the mass is equal to the mass of an electron

force = (9.11×10^-31)(1.33×10^16)

force = 1.21×10^-14 N

How can you determine the amount of work done on an object? (joules, work, power...etc.)
Novay_Z [31]
Work done is equal to force by distance; so you take the force exerted, in newtons, and multiply that by the direction it's moved (from the starting point in a line, not along the path it's taken.)

The higher the amplitude of the wave, the greater its intensity and the greater its loudness.

When atoms are split, they release energy. this concept applies to
balu736 [363]
This applies to nuclear reactions, specifically nuclear fission.

This huge release of energy has been used in atomic bombs and in the nuclear reactors that generate electricity.
