Electromagnetic Waves

Electromagnetic waves are waves that consist of magnetic field and electric field components perpendicular to each other. These field components are also perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

µ = 0.002 00 kg/m) that passes over a light pulley. The string is connected to a vibrator (of constant
frequency f), and the length of the string between point P and the pulley is L = 2.00 m. When the mass m of
the object is either 16.0 kg or 25.0 kg, standing waves are observed; no standing waves are observed with
any mass between these values, however.

(a) What is the frequency of the vibrator? Note: The greater the tension in the string, the smaller the
number of nodes in the standing wave.
(b) What is the largest object mass for which standing waves could be observed?

A space craft studying the faint rings of Jupiter is struck and crashes into one of Jupiter's moons. The ship is badly damaged and it is not clear which moon the craft smashed into. One of the micro-cameras, hanging from part of the wreckage transmits some data before going dark. The camera is found to be swinging from a thin piece of wire thought to be 6.8 cm in length and the footage indicates that it was swinging with an oscillation frequency of 0.751 Hz. NASA scientists realize that they can use this data to identify the moon upon which the craft has landed by estimating the gravitational constant of the moon. a) What is the period of oscillation? b) Estimate the gravitational acceleration, "g" of this moon.
