Electro magnetic waves are the waves which are produced with vibration of the particles which are charged.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Electromagnetic waves are created by the vibration of charged particles. A mechanical wave is a wave that isn't equipped for transmitting its vitality through a vacuum.
Mechanical waves require a medium so as to ship their vitality starting with one area then onto the next. A sound wave is a case of a mechanical wave. Electromagnetic waves are waves that have no medium to travel whereas mechanical waves need a medium for its transmission. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum
Answer:
B. Steam burns the skin worse than hot water because the latent heat of vaporization is released as well.
Explanation:
It is given that both steam and the boiling water when in contact with the skin cools down from 100 to 34 degrees Celsius.
For any substance of mass m, the heat required to change the temperature by is (S.I. unit = Joules).
where C, the specific heat capacity is the same and a constant for both the condensed steam and the boiling water.
But, there is a "hidden" energy (heat) released by the steam called latent heat
(given by mL, L = specific latent heat) which allows the phase transition (gas to liquid). While both of them are at the same temperature, their energy (heat) is different, which is why steam causes burns worse than boiling water
We can solve the problem by using Netwon's third law:
where:
T is the orbital period of the planet
R is the average radius of the orbit (so, the average distance of the planet from the star)
M is the mass of the star.
First, we need to convert the period and the radius into SI units:
And then, re-arranging the formula and substituting the numbers we find
Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".
It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.
If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.
And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.
