Answer to Problem 1Q

The electrons move up and down with that wavelength.

Explanation of Solution

The wave is an electromagnetic wave and it is that wave which creates vibrations between the electric and the magnetic field. Due to the electromagnetic waves, the electrons move up and down with that wavelength.

Conclusion:

Thus, the electrons move up and down with that wavelength.

Consider the situation in the figure below; a neutral conducting ball hangs from the ceiling by an insulating string, and a charged insulating rod is going to be placed nearby. A. First, if the rod was not there, what statement best describes the charge distribution of the ball? 1)  Since it is a conductor, all the charges are on the outside of the ball. 2)  The ball is neutral, so it has no positive or negative charges anywhere. 3)  The positive and negative charges are separated from each other, but we don't know what direction the ball is polarized. 4)  The positive and negative charges are evenly distributed everywhere in the ball.  B. Now, when the rod is moved close to the ball, what happens to the charges on the ball? 1)  There is a separation of charges in the ball; the side closer to the rod becomes positively charged, and the opposite side becomes negatively charged. 2)  Negative charge is drawn from the ground (via the string), so the ball acquires a net negative charge. 3)…
