Answer: The correct answer is "electromagnetic wave".

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves: These waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles. But the mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude.

Electromagnetic wave does not need a medium while the mechanical wave needs a medium to travel.

The electromagnetic wave travels with the speed of the light. The example of electromagnetic wave is light.

Mechanical waves are of two types: Longitudinal wave and Transverse.

Sound wave is a longitudinal wave. It consists of compression and rarefaction.

Therefore, Light travels as an electromagnetic wave.

The correct answer is electromagnetic. Lights travel as an electromagnetic wave. In fact, light is an electromagnetic radiation which has a center of the electromagnetic spectrum. Light is visible to the naked eye, and is responsible for an organism's sense of sight.

lorasvet [3.4K]
The solution for this problem:
The distance in mega parsec is equal to recession velocity / H, where h is equal to 50 mega parsec.The explanation for this is:1 parsec = 2.E+05 AU, nearly. 50 mega parsec = 1. E+13 AU, nearly. 1 mega means E+06 (million).

Which of the following statements indicates that the client is at risk for an electrical shock at home?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

“I had to cut off the third prong on the electrical plug so that it would fit in the extension cord.”

Explanation:

A good method to find the customer at greater risk of receiving an electric shock is to discard the options.

If we analyze the fourth option "I always make sure that I am standing in a dry area before operating electrical equipment.", we will see that the customer minimizes the risk of electric conduction through a fluid. This precaution also minimizes the risk of electric shock.

The third option "I always read the owner’s manual when I purchase a new electrical appliance." It tells us that the customer knows how to properly use the electrical equipment that manipulates and knows the do and do not of such devices, so the risk of electric shock is reduced.

In the second option, "My bread got stuck in my toaster this morning, and I unplugged it before trying to remove it." The customer made sure to interrupt the electric flow to the device before proceeding and try to remove the jammed bread. If there is no electric current, there will be no electric shock to the customer.

The first option "I had to cut off the third prong on the electrical plug so that it would fit in the extension cord." It tells us that the client altered the cord extension in an inappropriate manner, since the equipment is not designed to work with two prongs. Because the design conditions are not being met, it is possible that the equipment malfunctions and this malfunction could result in the customer receiving an electric shock.

I hope the explanation was clear for you. If you have any further question, I'll be happy to assist you. :D
