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.

PLLEEEASE HELP!!! How does archimedes' principle explain how much fluid is displaced by an object?
Crank

The concept of Archimedes' principle is that an object immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The fluid displaced has a weight W = mg, where g is acceleration due to gravity. Therefore, the weight of the displaced fluid can be expressed as W = ρVg.

What is nuclear energy​
suter [353]

Answer:

Nuclear energy, also called atomic energy, energy that is released in significant amounts in processes that affect atomic nuclei, the dense cores of atoms. It is distinct from the energy of other atomic phenomena such as ordinary chemical reactions, which involve only the orbital electrons of atoms.

What is the current in a wire of radius R = 2.02 mm if the magnitude of the current density is given by (a) Ja = J0r/R and (b) J
Sloan [31]

Explanation:

For this problem we have to take into account the expression

J = I/area = I/(π*r^(2))

By taking I we have

I = π*r^(2)*J

(a)

For Ja = J0r/R the current is not constant in the wire. Hence

I(r) = \pi r^{2} J(r) = \pi r^{2} J_{0}r/R = \pi r^{3} (3.74*10^{4}A/m^{2})/(2.02*10^{-3}m)

and on the surface the current is

I(R) = \pi r^{2} J(R) = \pi r^{2} J_{0}R/R = \pi(2.02*10^{-3})^{2} (3.74*10^{4}) = 0.47 A

(b)

For Jb = J0(1 - r/R)

I(r)=\pi r^{2}J(r) =\pi r^{2} J_{0}(1 - r/R)=\pi r^{2}J_{0}(1-\frac{r}{2.02*10^{-3}} )

and on the surface

I(R)=\pi r^{2}J_{0}(1-R/R)=\pi r^{2}J_{0}(1-1)= 0

(c)

Ja maximizes the current density near the wire's surface

Additional point

The total current in the wire is obtained by integrating

I_{T}=\pi\int\limits^R_0 {r^{2}Ja(r)} \, dr = \pi \frac{J_{0}}{R}\int\limits^R_0 {r^{3}} \ dr =\pi  \frac{J_{0}R^{4}}{4R}=\frac{1}{4}\pi J_{0}R^{3}=2.42*10^{-4} A

and in a simmilar way for Jb

I_{T}=\pi J_{0} \int\limits^R_0 {r^{2}(1-r/R)} \, dr = \pi   J_{0}[\frac{R^{3}}{3}-\frac{R^{2}}{2R}]=\pi J_{0}[\frac{R^{3}}{3}-\frac{R^{2}}{2}]

And it is only necessary to replace J0 and R.

I hope this is useful for you

regards

What is the answer? Explain best and I will mark brainliest!
iVinArrow [24]
I would say B because it is near the ocean which can cause a tsunami but also because of the wind coming from the ocean (it might cause hurricanes and lots of storms) I’m not sure though but that’s what I think makes sense. Good Luck!
