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.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

f_{e}  = 1.9 cm

Explanation:

The magnification of a microscope is the product of the magnification of the eyepiece by the magnifier with the objective

    M = M₀ m_{e}

Where M₀ is the magnification of the objective and  m_{e} is the magnification of the eyepiece.

The eyepiece is focused to the near vision point (d = 25 cm)

       m_{e} = 25 /  f_{e}

The objective is focused on the distances of the tube (L)

     M₀ = -L / f₀

Substituting

     M = - L/f₀    25/f_{e}  

1) Let's look for the focal length of the eyepiece (faith)

     f_{e}  = - L 25 / f₀ M

     M = 400X = -400

     f_{e}  = - 12 25 /0.40 (-400)

     f_{e}  = 1.875 cm

Let's approximate two significant figures

    f_{e}  = 1.9 cm
