Electromagnetic waves need no matter to travel - they can travel through empty space (a vacuum). In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at approximately 3 x 108 m/s - which is the fastest speed possible. ...
Light traveling value through an optical Fibre is, 2 x 108 m/s. Hope that helps.

Answer:

0.453 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the handle has diameter of 0.4 m while inner part diameter is 0.1 m then the circumference of outer part is \pi d_h where d is diameter and subscript h denote handle. By substituting 0.4 for the handle's diameter then cirxumference of outer part is \pi\times 0.4\approx 1.256 m

The rate of rotation will then be 1.81/1.256=1.441 rev/s

Similarly, circumference of inner part will be \pi d_i where subscript i represent inner. Substituting 0.1 for inner diameter then

\pi\times 0.1\approx 0.3142 m

The rate of rotation found for outer handle applies for inner hence speed will be 0.3142*1.441=0.453 m/s

A pure sound wave, generated by a tuning fork, is considered a periodic wave. Which statement is true for this tuning fork sound
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer : Every wave has the same wave pattern.

Explanation : A pure sound wave has a single frequency and its generated by a tuning fork . The sound wave is a  simple periodic wave.

When an object such as a guitar push and pull on the around it. When it pushes on the air, then the pressure increases and when it pull on the air,  then the pressure decreases and sound waves are formed.

Hence, sound wave has the same wave pattern.

Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?
Doss [256]

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).
