Answer:

b. able to travel through a vacuum.

Explanation:

The most distinguishing factor of an electromagnetic waves is that they are able to travel through a vacuum.

These waves do not require materials in a medium for propagation.

Electromagnetic waves are formed by the propagation of the electric and magnetic fields.
They vibrate at an angle of 90° .
They are unlike like mechanical waves that requires that requires materials in medium for their propagation.

*please refer to photo* An electric field of magnitude 5.25 ✕ 10^5N/C points due south at a certain location. Find the magnitude

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

Approximately $3.86\; {\rm N}$ (given that the magnitude of this charge is $-7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ .)

Explanation:

If a charge of magnitude $q$ is placed in an electric field of magnitude $E$ , the magnitude of the electrostatic force on that charge would be $F = E\, q$ .

The magnitude of this charge is $q = 7.35\; {\rm \mu C}$ . Apply the unit conversion $1\; {\rm \mu C} = 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}$ :

$\begin{aligned} q &= 7.35\; {\mu C} \times \frac{10^{-6}\; {\rm C}}{1\; {\mu C}} = 7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}\end{aligned}$ .

An electric field of magnitude $E = 5.25\times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}}$ would exert on this charge a force with a magnitude of:

$\begin{aligned}F &= E\, q \\ &= 5.25 \times 10^{5}\; {\rm N \cdot C^{-1}} \times (-7.35\times 10^{-6}\; {\rm C}) \\ &\approx 3.86\; {\rm N}\end{aligned}$ .

Note that the electric charge in this question is negative. Hence, electrostatic force on this charge would be opposite in direction to the the electric field. Since the electric field points due south, the electrostatic force on this charge would point due north.

Sound travels through water at a speed of 1500 m/s. If the frequency of a sound is 1000 Hz, what is the wavelength?

ratelena [41]

Answer:

1.5m

Explanation:

Velocity=1500m/s

Frequency=1000hz

Wavelength =velocity ➗ frequency

wavelength =1500 ➗ 1000

Wavelength=1.5m
