The electric field carries the same mount of energy as the magnetic field

The frequency of the magnetic field is the same as the frequency of the electric field.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each option in detail:

The electric and magnetic fields have equal amplitudes. --> FALSE. In fact, the amplitudes of the electric and magnetic field are related by the equation:

E=cB

where

E is the amplitude of the electric field

B is the amplitude of the magnetic field

c is the speed of light

Therefore, from the equation we see that the amplitude of the electric field is much larger than that of the magnetic field.

The electric field carries the same mount of energy as the magnetic field. --> TRUE.

The energy carried by the electric field is:

$u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 E^2$

where $\epsilon_0$ is the vacuum permittivity.

The energy carried by the magnetic field is:

$u_B = \frac{1}{2\mu_0}B^2$

where $\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability.

Given the following relationship:

$c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}$

We can write

$E=cB=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}B$

$u_E = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0 (\frac{1}{\sqrt{\epsilon_0 \mu_0}}B)^2=\frac{1}{2\mu_0}B^2$

which means u_E=u_B .

The electric field carries more energy than the magnetic field. --> FALSE, because in disagreement with the calculations above.

The frequency of the magnetic field is the same as the frequency of the electric field. --> TRUE. In an electromagnetic waves, electric field and magnetic field oscillate at the same frequency.

The frequency of the electric field is higher than the frequency of the magnetic field. --> FALSE, because in disagreement with the previous statement.

Julia would be observing a. static electricity was caused by her sweater rubbing against her shirt and transferring electrons. she didn't touch anything metal, so that would cancel out b.she most likely didn't rub her sweater against her hair either, so that cancels out c.she also didn't scoot across the carpet while trying to take her sweater off, that cancels out d.so that leaves a.a. is correct.

This is important 1. what happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form a liquid? (2 points) the molecules slow down. the molecules speed up. the molecules slow down and then speed up. the molecules speed up and then slow down. 2. how might human activities change to compensate for a decrease in water supplies? (2 points) humans might build a factory. humans might build drainage systems. humans might extract more water from the ground. human behavior does not change because of the water cycle. i'll be grateful if anyone can answer these 2 questions !
