Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy True or False

Physics
1 answer:
Simora [160]3 years ago
7 0

The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.

According to Ohm's law, which is stated as I = V + R, which two sentences are true?
Novay_Z [31]

So, If the resistance decreases, then the current increases. Assume voltage is constant.

If the voltage increases, then the current increases. Assume resistance is constant.

Explanation:

According to the ohm's law; I = V/R;

  • If the resistance decreases the current increases assuming that the voltage is constant
  • if the voltage increases, then the current increases assuming that the resistance is constant.

Based on Ohm's law, we know that the current through a metallic conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across the ends.

From the relationship;

                 I = \frac{V}{R}

        we see that  V = IR

These equations affirms that

  • If the resistance decreases the current increases assuming that the voltage is constant based on the second equation

  • if the voltage increases, then the current increases assuming that the resistance is constant based on the first equation.

5. A bicyclist is finishing her repair of a flat tire when a friend rides by at a constant velocity of
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

a) t = 3.6 s

b) d = 23 m

c) v = 13 m/s

Explanation:

Let t be the time the accelerating rider rides

the distance she travels is

d = ½3.6t²

the distance for the other cyclist is

d =3.5(t + 3)

½3.6t² = 3.5(t + 3)

1.8t² - 3.5t - 10.5 = 0

quadratic formula, positive answer

t = (3.5 + √(3.5² - 4(1.8)(-10.5))) / (2(1.8))

t = 3.575786...

d = ½(3.6)(3.575786²) = 23.015...

v = 3.6(3.575786) = 12.8728...

Calculate the wavelength of a radio wave whose frequency is 900 kHz. (v = 3.00 · 108 m/s.)
Alik [6]
     Just use the Fundamental Equation of Periodic Waves:

v=\lambda f \\ \lambda= \frac{3\times 10^8}{900\times 10^3}  \\ \lambda = \boxed {\frac{10^3}{3}~m}

Use Wien’s Law to calculate the peak wavelength of Betelgeuse, based on the temperature found in Question #8. Note: 1 nanometer
kodGreya [7K]

The peak wavelength of Betelgeuse is 828 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between surface temperature and peak wavelength of a star is given by Wien's displacement law:

\lambda=\frac{b}{T}

where

\lambda is the peak wavelength

T is the surface temperature

b=2.898\cdot 10^{-3} m\cdot K is Wien's constant

For Betelgeuse, the surface temperature is approximately

T = 3500 K

Therefore, its peak wavelength is:

\lambda=\frac{2.898\cdot 10^{-3}}{3500}=8.28\cdot 10^{-7} m = 828 nm
