Explanation The vibrating electric field and magnetic field created each other and this will constitute an electromagnetic radiation . The electromagnetic radiations can be classified according to the frequency of the radiation. The speed of the electromagnetic radiation is the speed of light . No. the speed of the emerging light after it passing through a glass will be the same as the speed of the light strikes the glass. In the case of bullet, when the bullet strikes the board and pass through it, the speed of the bullet will reduce and the speed of the bullet emerging out of the board will be less than the speed of the bullet which strikes the board. Unlike the bullet, when the light strikes on the glass, the photons will be interacted with the atoms and molecules and intern re-emit photons...

Students have asked these similar questions

Suppose the inteference pattern shown in the figure below is produced by monochromatic light passing through a diffraction grating, that has 260 lines/mm, and onto a screen 1.40m away. What is the wavelength of light if the distance between the dashed lines is 180cm? nm

How many (whole) dark fringes will produced on on an infinitely large screen if red light (2)=700 nm) is incident on two slits that are 20.0 μm apart?

Can someone help me with this physics 2 problem thank you.
