What characteristics of EM waves did you discover?

jarptica [38.1K]

The characteristics of electromagnetic waves typically represent as follows:

There are changes in the electric and magnetic fields simultaneously so that both fields have maximum and minimum values at the same time and place.
The direction of the electric field and the magnetic field are perpendicular to each other. The direction of both is perpendicular to the direction of the wave propagation.
The shape of electromagnetic waves is transverse waves.
It has general wave characteristics like polarization, reflection, refraction, interference, and diffraction.
The amount of the electric field (E) is directly proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field, with the relationship E = cB.
The universal constant of the velocity of electromagnetic waves in a vacuum is $\boxed{ \ c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s. \ }$
The speed at which electromagnetic waves propagate depends merely on the electrical and magnetic properties of the medium that it travels on.
Because electromagnetic waves do not contain an electric charge, they do not experience any possible deviation in the electric or magnetic fields.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Two physicists who contributed significantly to developing the concept of electromagnetic waves are Faraday and Maxwell around 1831-1864.
From the observations, Faraday suggested that changes in the magnetic field cause an electric charge to flow in the loop of wire, contributing in the emergence of an electric field.
Maxwell proposed a reverse process, which is a change in the electric field will generate a magnetic field.
As follows, according to Faraday's Law, changes in sinusoidal magnetic fields generate electric fields which also change sinusoidally.
Meantime, according to Maxwell's Hypothesis, changes in sinusoidal electric fields generate magnetic fields which also change sinusoidally.
Furthermore, there is a process of combining electric and magnetic fields that propagate in all directions called electromagnetic waves.

Review 1: A plane is located x = 40 miles (horizontally) away from an airport at an altitude of h miles. Radar at the airport de

-Dominant- [34]

Explanation:

Let h is the height of the plane above ground. x is the horizontal distance between the ground and the airport. Let s(t) is the distance between the plane and the airport. So,

$s(t)^2={h^2+x^2}$ ...........(1)

Given, h = 4, x = 40 and s(t) = -20 mph

Differentiate equation (1) wrt t

$2s(t)s'(t)=2x(t)x'(t)$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{s(t)s'(t)}{x(t)}$

When x = 40, $s(t)=\sqrt{40^2+4^2}=40.19\ m$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240s(t)}{x(t)}$

$x'(t)=\dfrac{-240\times 40.19}{40}$

$x'(t)=-241.14\ m/s$

So, the speed of the airplane is 241.14 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Twin A makes a one way trip at 0.6c to a star 12 light years away while twin B stays on Earth. Each twin sends the other a signa

hram777 [196]

Answer:

8 signals received by twin A during the trip.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 12 light year

Speed = 0.6 c

Time = 1 year

We need to calculate the time by A

Using formula of time

$T=t\sqrt{\dfrac{1+\dfrac{v}{c}}{1-\dfrac{v}{c}}}$

Put the value into the formula

$T=1\sqrt{\dfrac{1+0.6}{1-0.6}}$

$T=2\ years$

Similarly,

The expression for distance cover by A

$D=d\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}$

$D=12\sqrt{1-(0.6)^2}$

$D=9.6\ ly$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{D}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{9.6}{0.6}$

$t=16\ years$

We need to calculate the signals received by twin A

Using formula for number of signals

$n=\dfrac{t}{T}$

Put the value into the formula

$n=\dfrac{16}{2}$

$n=8\ signals$

Hence, 8 signals received by twin A during the trip.
