Explanation When candle is lit on earth, due to convection the byproducts out of the candle becomes hot and rises up, to fill their space fresh air rushes towards the candle, this way candle has regular supply of the oxygen. But when the candle is lit on the space station, there is negligible gravitational force, which obstructs the process of convection. When byproducts do not rise up, there is no way for the fresh supply of the oxygen to reach to the flame of candle, because of this it becomes impossible for the candle to remain lit...

Speed of light

The speed at which the light travels in a vacuum is unbiased for both the source and inertial frame of reference of the observer. This was postulated by the physicist, Albert Einstein, by observing the theory of electromagnetism of Maxwell. Also, there w…

An electromagnetic wave is traveling through vacuum in the positive x direction. Its electric field vector is given by E=E0sin⁡(kx−ωt)j^,where j^ is the unit vector in the y direction. If B0 is the amplitude of the magnetic field vector, find the complete expression for the magnetic field vector B→ of the wave. What is the Poynting vector S(x,t), that is, the power per unit area associated with the electromagnetic wave described in the problem introduction? Give your answer in terms of some or all of the variables E0, B0, k, x, ω, t, and μ0. Specify the direction of the Poynting vector using the unit vectors i^, j^, and k^ as appropriate.
