To determine

The correct statement about the electromagnetic waves travelling through vacuum.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1OQ

Option (c) and (d).

Explanation of Solution

Electromagnetic wave is the coupled propagation of electric field and magnetic field at right angles. An EM wave is the result of oscillation of a charged article.

Write the relation between frequency, wavelength and speed of wave in vacuum.

    c=fλ

Here, c is the speed of light in vacuum, f is the frequency of light in vacuum and λ is the wavelength of light.

Conclusion:

It is correct that all electromagnetic waves travels at 3.0×108m/s in vacuum. Thus, option (c) is correct.

It is the inherent property of an electromagnetic wave is that electric field and magnetic field is at right angles and normal to direction of wave propagation. Thus, option (d) is correct.

All electromagnetic waves cannot have same wavelength. Thus, option (a) is incorrect.

All electromagnetic waves cannot have same frequency. Thus, option (b)is incorrect.

Speed of electromagnetic wave through vacuum is independent of frequency. Thus, option (e) is incorrect.

5.48 ⚫ A flat (unbanked) curve on a highway has a radius of 170.0 m. A car rounds the curve at a speed of 25.0 m/s. (a) What is the minimum coefficient of static friction that will prevent sliding? (b) Suppose that the highway is icy and the coefficient of static friction between the tires and pavement is only one-third of what you found in part (a). What should be the maximum speed of the car so that it can round the curve safely?
5.77 A block with mass m₁ is placed on an inclined plane with slope angle a and is connected to a hanging block with mass m₂ by a cord passing over a small, frictionless pulley (Fig. P5.74). The coef- ficient of static friction is μs, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is Mk. (a) Find the value of m₂ for which the block of mass m₁ moves up the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (b) Find the value of m2 for which the block of mass m₁ moves down the plane at constant speed once it is set in motion. (c) For what range of values of m₂ will the blocks remain at rest if they are released from rest?
5.78 .. DATA BIO The Flying Leap of a Flea. High-speed motion pictures (3500 frames/second) of a jumping 210 μg flea yielded the data to plot the flea's acceleration as a function of time, as shown in Fig. P5.78. (See "The Flying Leap of the Flea," by M. Rothschild et al., Scientific American, November 1973.) This flea was about 2 mm long and jumped at a nearly vertical takeoff angle. Using the graph, (a) find the initial net external force on the flea. How does it compare to the flea's weight? (b) Find the maximum net external force on this jump- ing flea. When does this maximum force occur? (c) Use the graph to find the flea's maximum speed. Figure P5.78 150 a/g 100 50 1.0 1.5 0.5 Time (ms)
