Topic 5: What channel is that? Electromagnetic Spectrum
• Visible light is just one range of wavelengths of electromagnetic waves that
make up the
Other waves travelling as electromagnetic radiation include radio waves,
microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays, and gamma rays

Two identical small charged spheres are a certain distance apart, and each one initially experiences an electrostatic force of magnitude f due to the other. with time, charge gradually leaks off of both spheres. when each of the spheres has lost half its initial charge, the magnitude of the electrostatic force will be

The force will determine the acceleration.

Tafari worked one summer on a ship that set weather buoys in the ocean. he watched how one of the buoys moved in the water. describe which parts of the wave would cause the buoy to bob up and down. which wave property determined how fast the buoys bobbed in the water? he observed that when the wind blew harder, the ocean waves were larger, and the buoys moved away from the ship. what effect, if any, did the waves have on how far the buoys moved? explain your answer.
