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

I dont get why its c i dont under the graph for the vertical component in option c
jek_recluse [69]
The vertical component grows at an increasing rate because
gravity is ACCELERATING the object vertically.  So its speed
keeps growing.  Speed is the slope of the displacement graph.

What are the five basic postulates of kinetic-molecular theory?
lesantik [10]

Explanation:

The five basic postulate of kinetic molecular theory includes:

1) All gases consist of large amount and numbers of tiny particles that are far apart from each other and also relative to their size.

2) The collisions between gas particles and gas particles against container walls is refer to as  elastic collision.

3) All gas particles are in a continuous random and rapid motion. They possess kinetic energy which is energy of motion.

4) There are no attractive force between gas particles.

5) The temperature of a gas depends on the average kinetic energy of the gas particle.
