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 helicopter flies 250 km on a straight path in a direction 60° south of east. The east component of the helicopter’s displaceme
GaryK [48]

Given that,

Distance in south-west direction = 250 km

Projected angle to east = 60°

East component = ?

since,

cos ∅ = base/hypotenuse

base= hyp * cos ∅

East component = 250 * cos 60°

East component = 125 km

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can
gavmur [86]

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.

A 1500 W radiant heater is constructed to operate at 115 V. (a) What will be the current in the heater? (b) What is the resistan
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a) I = 13.04 A

b)  R = 8.82 ohms

c) 1291.87 kilocalories are generated an hour.

Explanation:

let P be the power of the heater, V be the voltage of the heater, I be the current of the heater, R be the resistance.

a) we know that:

P = I×V

I = P/V

  = (1500)/(115)

  = 13.04 A

Therefore, the current of the heater is 13.04 A

b) we now have voltage and current, according to Ohm's law:

R = V/I

  = (115)/(13.04)

  = 8.82 ohms

Therefore, the resistance of the heating coil is 8.82 ohms.

c) the number of kilocalories generated in one hour by the heater is just the energy the heater produces in one hour which is given by:

E = P×t

  = (1500)(1×60×60)

  = 5400000 J

since 1 calorie = 4.81 J

1 kilocalorie = 0.001 calories

E = 5400000/4.18 ≈ 1291866.029 calories ≈1291.87 kilocalories

Therefore, 1291.87 kilocalories are produced/generated in one hour.

3. A sample of argon of mass 6.56 g occupies 18.5 dm? at 305 K. (a) Calculate the work done when the gas expands isothermally ag
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

(a) W=-19.25J

(b) W=-52.8J

Explanation:

Hello.

(a) In this case, since the initial volume is 18.5 dm³ and the final volume is 21 dm³ (18.5 +2.5), we can compute the work at constant pressure as shown below:

W=-P\Delta V=-7.7kPa*\frac{1000Pa}{1kPa} (21dm^3-18.5dm^3)*\frac{1m^3}{1000dm^3}\\ \\W=-19.25J

Which is negative as it expands against the given pressure.

(b) Moreover, of the process is carried out reversibly, the pressure can change, therefore, we need to compute the work via:

W=nRTln(\frac{V_1}{V_2} )

Whereas the moles are computed from the given mass of argon:

n=6.56g*\frac{1mol}{39.95g}=0.164mol

Thus, the work is:

W=0.164mol*8.314\frac{J}{mol*K} *305Kln(\frac{18.5dm^3}{21dm^3} )\\\\W=-52.8J

Regards.
