-- The speed of light in air is very close to 3 x 10⁸ m/s.
Whatever the actual number is, it's equivalent to roughly
7 times around the Earth in 1 second. So for this kind of
problem, you can assume that we see things at the same time
that they happen; don't bother worrying about how long it takes
for the light to reach you.
-- For sound, it's a different story. Sound in air only travels at
about 340 m/s. It takes sound almost 5 seconds to go 1 mile.
-- Now, the lightning and thunder happen at the same time.
The light travels to you at the speed of light, so you see the
lightning pretty much when it happens. But the sound of the
thunder comes poking along at 340 m/s, and arrives AFTER
the sight of the lightning.
The length of time between the sight and the sound is about
99.9999% the result of the time it takes the sound to reach you.
If the thunder arrived at you 3 seconds after the light did, then
the sound traveled
(340 m/s) x (3 s) = 1,020 meters .
(about 0.63 of a mile)
(If you're worried about ignoring the time it takes
for the light to reach you ...
It takes light 0.0000034 second to cover the same 1,020 meters,
so including it in the calculation would not change the answer.)
What? may you explain what the problem is? also may you mark this brainiest for free pls? :)
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Let's rule out some of the options. C makes no sense because static charges will create electric fields only, so the charge has to move. D makes no sense because monopoles do not exist. We can rule out B because when a charge is moving at a constant velocity. You can use Maxwell's equations and general relativity to figure out that at a constant velocity, you can't produce an electromagnetic wave because there is no magnetic field. Therefore the answer is A. When you have an oscillating or accelerating electric charge, you will produce an EM wave.
