Which of the following is not a characteristic of electromagnetic waves

Complete Question:

Which of the following is not a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?

a. they can travel through a vacuum.

b. they can travel at various speeds through any one material.

c. they can be refracted.

d. they can be reflected.

Correct Option:

"They can travel at various speeds through any one material" is not a characteristic of electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

It is a form of energy generated by interference from the oscillating magnetic and electric recorded. So we may conclude that it is created by moving electric charged particles through the vacuum so matter. This is a wave in which the two vectors vibrate each other perpendicularly and in the direction of the wave. Electromagnetic waves which involve gamma-rays, x-rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared-rays, microwaves and radio-waves can be featured by:

first let us lay out the formula for potential

and kinetic energy:

pe = mgh

ke = (mv^2)/2

where: m=mass, v=velocity, g=gravitational

acceleration, h=height

calculating for mass using the known values of

pe:

340j = m (9.81 m/s^2) (50ft) (1m/3.28ft)

m = 2.27 kg

the law of conservation of energy states that

energy is neither created nor destroyed. therefore, the change in kinetic

energy from 50 ft to 35 ft would be equal to the change in potential energy

from 50 ft to 35 ft. however it would be opposite in signs since one is losing

while other is gaining.

ke(35ft) – ke(50ft) = - [ pe(35ft) – pe(50ft]

ke(50ft) = 0 since the brick is initially at rest

ke(35ft) = 340j - 2.27kg (9.81 m/s^2) (35ft)

(1m/3.28 ft)

ke(35ft)

= 102.38 j
