Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating through a region of empty space. How is the energy density of the wave partitioned

between the electric and magnetic fields?
1. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is 25% in the magnetic field and 75% in the electric field.
2. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is equally divided between the magnetic and electric fields.
3. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is entirely in the magnetic field.
4. The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is 25% in the electric field and 75% in the magnetic field.

Answer:

Option (2) is correct.

The energy density of an electromagnetic wave is equally divided between the magnetic and electric fields.

Explanation:

An electromagnetic waves are the waves which are produced when the oscillating electric and magnetic field are interact each other perpendicular to each other. The direction of propagation of electro magnetic waves is perpendicular to each electric and magnetic fields.

The energy associated with the electromagnetic waves is equally distributed in form of electric and magnetic fields.

So, the correct option is (2).

Explanation:

m=27

density=2700

density=mass/volume

2700=27/volume

A 1,600 kg train car rolling freely on level track at 16 m/s bumps into a 1.0 × 103 kg train car moving at 10.0 m/s in the same

This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

Alnilam is the brightest star

Absolute brightness is how bright the star actually is. Apparent brightness is how bright the star looks.

Factors that influence how bright a star looks is distance. The fact that Alnilam has the same apparent brightness of the other two stars even though it is farther away, means that it is brighter.
