A device known as an optical resonator is used in lasers. An optical resonator consists of an arrangement of mirrors that reflec

t electromagnetic radiation back and forth within an empty cavity. The electromagnetic radiation within the cavity reflects off of the mirrors multiple times. The mirrors are precisely placed so that only particular frequencies can survive within the cavity via constructive interference. All other frequencies are suppressed via destructive interference. The end result is a beam of light of a certain frequency.
An optical resonator of the type described above depends on the tendency of light to
A. behave as a wave.
B. excite atoms to certain energy levels.
C. excite electrons to certain energy levels.
D. behave as a particle.

Answer:

A. The resonator behaves as a wave guide (a hollow pipe used as a transmission line). The characteristics of the pipe depend on the type of the wave to be transmitted.

How and why does breathing rate increase during exercise
kondor19780726 [428]
<span>Your heart speeds up to pump extra food and oxygen to the muscles. Breathing speeds up to get more oxygen and to get rid of more carbon dioxide. When a fit person, such as an athlete, exercises the pulse rate, breathing rate and lactic acid levels rise much less than they do in an unfit person.

An electromagnetic wave is propagating towards the west. At a certain moment the direction of the magnetic field vector associat
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

either +z direction or -z direction.

Explanation:

The direction of the electric field, in an electromagnetic wave always is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of propagation of the wave.

You assume a system of coordinates with the negative x axis as the west direction, and the y axis as the up direction

In this case, the wave is propagating toward the west (- x direction), and the magnetic field vector points up (+ y direction), then, it is mandatory that the electric field vector points either +z direction or -z direction.

Which car has the most kinetic energy? <br><br> (PLEASE HELP NEED ANSWER ASAP)
Hatshy [7]

Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

so, you will have to do it for every single one of them if you want steps.

Kinetic Energy = For A, 202500J

                           For B, 90000J

                           For C, 168750J

                           For D, 75000J

From the above we an say that kinetic energy is highest in option A.

In case, there are no steps needed, just by the values we are able to understand the answer as in Option A, eventhough the mass is the same, higher the velocity or speed, higher the kinetic energy
