Light is an oscillating magnetic field alone. an oscillating electric field alone. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate p

arallel to each other. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicularly to each other. electric and magnetic fields that oscillate in a random direction relative to each other. Which of the statements concerning light are true? The speed of light is the same no matter what material it is traveling through. Its propagation direction is perpendicular to both the electric field and the magnetic field. Its propagation direction is parallel to both the electric field and the magnetic field. The speed of light in matter is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. It moves at a constant speed through a vacuum. The speed of light in matter is greater than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Explanation:

  • As light is an electromagnetic wave that causes sensation of sight.  
  • Every electromagnetic wave has electrical and magnetic components in it which are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of wave.  
  • The electrical and magnetic components are mutually perpendicular to each other in an electromagnetic wave.
  • The speed of light in vacuum is c=3\times 10^{8}\ m.s^{-1}, which decreases when it passes through a matter (precisely a transparent medium) which allows the passage of light through it. When the light passes through some transparent matter then its speed decreases as compared to the speed of light in vacuum.

A girl and a boy are riding on a merry-go-round that is turning at a constant rate. The girl is near the outer edge, and the boy
skad [1K]

(a) Both the girl and the boy have the same nonzero angular displacement.

Explanation:

The angular displacement of an object moving in uniform circular motion, as the boy and the girl on the merry-go-round, is given by

\theta= \omega t

where

\omega is the angular speed

t is the time interval

For a uniform object in uniform circular motion, all the points of the object have same angular speed. This means that the value of \omega is the same for the boy and the girl.

Therefore, if we consider the same time interval t, the boy and the girl will also have same nonzero angular displacement.

(b) The girl has greater linear speed.

Explanation:

The linear (tangential) speed of a point along the merry-go-round is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance of the point from the centre of the merry-go-round

In this problem, the girl is near the outer edge, while the boy is closer to the centre: since the value of \omega is the same for both, this means that the value of r is larger for the girl, so the girl will also have a greater linear speed.

. Emergency rations are to be dropped from a plane to some stranded hikers. The search and rescue plane is flying at an altitude
almond37 [142]

Answer:

35 m/s down

Explanation:

The horizontal speed of the package is 70 m/s.  So the time needed to reach the hikers is:

1000 m / (70 m/s) = 14.28 s

Taking down to be positive, the initial velocity needed is:

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

1500 m = v₀ (14.28 s) + ½ (9.8 m/s²) (14.28 s)²

v₀ = 35 m/s

The package must be launched down with an initial velocity of 35 m/s.

A light ray strikes a plane mirror at an angle of 23° to the normal. What is the angle between the reflected ray and the mirror?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:67^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given

Ray of light incident on plane making an angle of 23^{\circ} with normal

Thus incident angle i=23^{\circ}

So according to the law of incidence is equal to angle of reflection

\angle i=\angle r

thus \angle r=23^{\circ}

and angle between mirror and reflected ray =90^{\circ}-23^{\circ}

=67^{\circ}

Marcus can drive his boat 24 miles down the river in 2 hours but takes 3 hours to return upstream. Find the rate of the boat in
notsponge [240]

Answer:

speed of boat as

v_b = 10 mph

river speed is given as

v_r = 2 mph

Explanation:

When boat is moving down stream then in that case net resultant speed of the boat is given as

since the boat and river is in same direction so we will have

v_1 = v_r + v_b

Now when boat moves upstream then in that case the net speed of the boat is opposite to the speed of the river

so here we have

v_2 = v_b - v_r

as we know when boat is in downstream then in that case it covers 24 miles in 2 hours

v_1 = \frac{24}{2} = 12 mph

also when it moves in upstream then it covers same distance in 3 hours of time

v_2 = \frac{24}{3} = 8 mph

v_b + v_r = 12 mph

v_b - v_r = 8 mph

so we have speed of boat as

v_b = 10 mph

river speed is given as

v_r = 2 mph
