What do electric and magnetic fields have in common?

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

Magnetic field are a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. Everything is made up of atoms, and each atom has a nucleus made of neutrons and protons with electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Since the orbiting electrons are tiny moving charges, a small magnetic field is created around each atom.

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like pole repel unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge.

Shrill sound is of -------------- *

Leona [35]

Answer:

Higher frequency.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases. A student could verify this statement by measuring the time required for sound to travel a set distance through a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

Mathematically, the speed of a sound is given by the formula:

$Speed = wavelength * frequency$

Generally, the frequency of a sound wave determines the pitch of the sound that would be heard.

A shrill sound refers to a type of sound that is typically sharp, high pitched and as such has higher frequency.

Hence, shrill sound is of higher frequency.

Light propagate faster through medium “a” than medium “b”

dangina [55]

1) Medium "b" has more optical density

2) Light must hit the interface between the two mediums perpendicularly

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when light propagates from a medium into a second medium.

The optical density of a medium is given by its index of refraction, which is defined as:

$n=\frac{c}{v}$

where

c is the speed of light in a vacuum

v is the speed of light in a medium

Higher index of refraction means higher optical density, and light propagater slower into a medium with higher optical density.

In this problem, light propagates faster through medium "a" than medium "b": this means that medium "a" has lower refractive index of medium "b", and so "b" has more optical density.

We can answer this part by referring to Snell's law, which gives the relationship between the direction of the incident ray and of the refracted ray when light passes through the interface between two media:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where

$n_1, n_2$ are the index of refraction of the two mediums

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ are the angle of incidence and of refraction (the angle that light makes with the normal to the surface in medium 1 and medium 2)
