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.

A horizontal uniform bar of mass 2.7 kg and length 3.0 m is hung horizontally on two vertical strings. String 1 is attached to t
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

14.36 N

Explanation:

T_{1} = Tension in string 1

T_{2} = Tension in string 2

m_b = mass of the bar = 2.7 kg

W_b = weight of the bar

weight of the bar is given as

W_b = m_{b} g = (2.7) (9.8) = 26.46N

m_m = mass of the bar = 1.35 kg

W_m = weight of the monkey

weight of the monkey is given as

W_m = m_{m} g = (1.35) (9.8) = 13.23N

Using equilibrium of torque about left end

W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AC)\\W_{m} (AB) + W_{b} (AB) = T_{2} (AD - CD)\\(13.23) (1.5) + (26.46)(1.5) = T_{2} (3 - 0.65)\\\\T_{2} = 25.33 N

Using equilibrium of force in vertical direction

T_{1} + T_{2} = W_{b} + W_{m}\\T_{1} + 25.33 = 26.46 + 13.23\\T_{1} = 14.36 N

What can accurately be said about a resultant wave that displays both reinforcement and interference? A. The component waves hav
Tanya [424]
The answer is A. <span>The component waves have different frequencies.
The magnitudes of reinforcement usually really dependent on the number of frequencies and interference is usually caused due to the difference in frequencies. So, we can conclude that if the frequencies are different and causing interference, the reinforcement will also different

¿Qué distancia recorre un móvil que lleva una aceleración de 5m/s durante 10seg?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

250 m

Explanation:

The car in this problem is moving of uniform accelerated motion, so we can use the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

Assuming the car starts from rest,

u = 0

Also we know that

a = 5 m/s^2 (acceleration of the car)

t = 10 s

Substituting, we find the distance covered:

s=0+\frac{1}{2}(5)(10)^2=250 m

In a collision between two unequal masses, which mass receives a greater magnitude impulse?
Contact [7]
<span>The answer to this question depends upon Newton's third law of motion. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because of this law, during the collision between two unequal masses, the impulse that each mass receives will be of equal magnitude and and opposite sign.</span>
