X-rays are electromagnetic waves. Like any other electromagnetic waves, they are transverse waves, and travel at the speed of light.

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

Semmy [17]

Answer:

The ball will reach the ground in 0.8s

Option C

Explanation:

Given:

- Takes t = 0.8 s for ball to reach ground when thrown horizontal from top of a building.

Find:

If it had been thrown with twice the speed in the same direction, it would have hit the ground in how many second.

Solution:

- We know that the amount of time taken to hit the ground is determined by the vertical distance i.e height at which it is thrown. The displacement of ball from top is given by:

                                    S_y = S_o + V_i,y*t + 0.5*g*t^2

- We know that the S_o = height of the building.

 We also know that the ball os thrown horizontally; hence, y-component of initial velocity is zero. V_y,i = 0

                                    0 = h + 0 + 0.5*g*t^2

- Hence, the time taken t is:

                                    t = sqrt ( 2h / g)

- The time taken to reach the ground is independent of the initial speed. Hence, the ball will reach the ground in 0.8s .

What is population inversion and what is laser inversion?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Population inversion, in physics, the redistribution of atomic energy levels that takes place in a system so that laser action can occur. Although absorption and emission of energy is a continuous process, the statistical distribution (population) of atoms in the various energy states is constant. ...

laser inversion is photon that can stimulate the production of other photons of exactly the same wavelength because of stimulated emission of radiation.
