What is a wave in sound and light

Physics
2 answers:
frez [133]3 years ago

Answer:

Light waves are electromagnetic waves while sound waves are mechanical waves. Light waves are transverse while sound waves are longitudinal. Light waves can travel in vacuum. Sound waves require a material medium to travel, and hence, cannot travel in vacuum. The speed of light in a medium is constant. (i hope i helped youuu)

Modern space suits augment the basic pressure garment with a complex system of equipment and environmental systems designed to keep the wearer comfortable, and to minimize the effort required to bend the limbs, resisting a soft pressure garment's natural tendency to stiffen against the vacuum. A self-contained oxygen supply and environmental control system is frequently employed to allow complete freedom of movement, independent of the spacecraft.
Three types of spacesuits exist for different purposes: IVA (intravehicular activity), EVA (extravehicular activity), and IEVA (intra/extravehicular activity). IVA suits are meant to be worn inside a pressurized spacecraft, and are therefore lighter and more comfortable. IEVA suits are meant for use inside and outside the spacecraft, such as the Gemini G4C suit. They include more protection from the harsh conditions of space, such as protection from micrometeorites and extreme temperature change. EVA suits, such as the EMU, are used outside spacecraft, for either planetary exploration or spacewalks. They must protect the wearer against all conditions of space, as well as provide mobility and functionality.

Compare and contrast electric motors and generators.
Marrrta [24]
Electric motors require electricity to move the motor parts and do work (like an electric fan).

Elecgric generators actually burn diesel fuel to spin a motor around and around and around to GENERATE, or MAKE, electricity that you can then use to power your fans and lights in your house.

An electric field of intensity 3.80 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.
lakkis [162]

Answer: 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

Explanation: The electric flux, electric field intensity and area are related by the formulae below.

Φ= EAcosθ,

Where Φ= electric flux (Nm²c^-1)

E =electric field intensity (N/m²)

A = Area (m²)

θ= this is angle between the planar area and the magnetic flux

For our question E=3.80KN/c= 3800 N/c

A= 0.700 x 0.350= 0.245m²

θ= 0° ( this is because the electric field was applied along the x axis, thus the electric flux will be parallel to the area).

Hence Φ= 3800 x 0.245 x cos(0)

= 3800 x 0.245 x 1 (value of cos 0° =1)

= 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1

Thus the electric field is 1.55 x 10⁴ Nm²c^-1
