How are electromagnetic waves different from sound or water waves?

Physics
1 answer:
Annette [7]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.

Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.

  • Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
  • But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
  • They cannot pass through a vacuum.

An empty capacitor is capable of storing 1.0 × 10-4 J of energy when connected to a certain battery. If the distance between the
dangina [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy stored in a capacitor

= 1/2 C₁V²

capacity of a capacitor

c = εK A / d

k is dielectric and d is distance between plates .

When  the distance between the plates is halved and then filled with a dielectric (κ = 4.3)

capacity becomes 4.3  x 2 times

New capacity

C₂ = 8.6 C₁

Energy of modified capacitor

1/2 C₂ V²= 1/2 x 8.6 c x V²

Energy becomes

8.6 times.

Energy stored = 8.6 x 10⁻⁴ J

What factors does not influence the rate of chemical weathering?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Exposure to the Atmosphere

Composition of Rock

Surface area of the rock

Climate

Time

Explanation:

Exposure to the Atmosphere - how much of the rock mass is exposed to the environment affects how quickly the rock will be weathered by that very environment

Composition of Rock - what kind of minerals the rock is made of, how easy it is for those minerals to disintegrate and how quickly the react with water and air.

Surface area of the rock - a rick that has a wider surface or smaller pieces is more exposed than one that is a lump. A larger surface area increases the rate of weathering

Climate - if a rock is an area where there are high temperatures or very low temperatures, the rate of weathering is likely to increase. A similar point can be made about a region that experiences a lot of rain.

Time - the longer the rock is exposed to harsh conditions, the more it will experience weathering

Which of the following account for the differences between radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays? Check all that apply
Ket [755]

Answer: A. Frequency

B. Wavelength

Explanation: Electromagnetic waves are waves which can travel through the vacuum. Electromagnetic waves have electrical and magnetic component associated with them.

Electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of increasing frequencies or decreasing wavelengths.

Radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays are all electromagnetic waves which have different wavelengths and thus have different frequencies. But they all travel with the speed of light.

\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}

The order of frequency of given waves  : gamma rays > X rays> Radio waves.

The order of wavelength of given waves  : gamma rays < X rays < Radio waves.
