The magnetic field intensity in a plane wave that propagates in the negative y direction in space has two components. One has amplitude 2 A/m and is in directed in the positive x direction, the other has an amplitude 4 A/m and is directed in the negative z direction. In addition, the z-directed component, lags behind the x-directed component by 45º. Find the polarization of the wave, including its sense of rotation, if any.

Iron reacts with sulfur to form iron sulfide. if 60 grams of iron reacts with sulfur to produce 90 grams of iron sulfide, how much sulfur has been used in the chemical reaction?

Scout feels ill one day before school. her mother puts a thermometer in her mouth and the temperature begins to climb to 100°f. what is happening between the cooler thermometer and scout's body? a) scout's body is applying a force to the particles in the thermometer. b) kinetic energy is being transferred from her mouth to the thermometer. c) potential energy is being lost by the thermometer and gained by scout's body. d) the potential energy stored in foods is converted to mechanical energy to raise the mercury in the thermometer.

Light from the sun reaches the earth in 8.3 minutes. the velocity is 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. how far is earth from the sun? i know how to get to d = (3 x 10^8 m/s)(498 sec). i just don't know how to get from there to the answer being 1.5 x 10^11 m.
