Textbook Question
Chapter 37, Problem 19A
How do the wave speeds compare for high-frequency and low-frequency
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To compare: the wave speed of high - frequency and low -frequency electromagnetic waves.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Electromagnetic waves travel at
Speed of electromagnetic waves does not depend on frequency. It depends on the medium through which it is travelling.
Conclusion:
Speed of high-frequency and low -frequency electromagnetic waves is equal.

Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion?
