In the simple case, yes. When there are lenses involved the answer is far more complicated.

Does a magnetic field strengthen on weekend as you move away from the eletromagnet?

The magnetic field becomes weaker as you move away from the electromagnetic source.


Is gravity stronger or weaker than electromagnetic forces?

stronger


Why can it be said that 'magnetism has no limits'?

This is because out of the four fundamental forces (strong, weak, electromagnetic, gravity) magnetism comes under the electromagnetic force. This has an infinite range so for this reason i think it is said to be without limits. Although the range is infinite, the further you are from the force, the weaker it is. It follows something called the inverse square law. so, if you move twice as far from the source, its intensity will be a quarter of what it was before.


Non polar substance are stronger or weaker?

they are weaker because the ions of substance have low electromagnetic which have covalent character to be low.


What is the main type of electromagnetic that makes up the solar radiation that reaches earth?

Well techinichally it is just a radiation that comes from the sun and the readiation is a electromagnetic field


Why does an earthquake get weaker as you move further away from the epicentre?

This is because the waves fade as they get further away from the epicentre.


Why can you jumper further on the moon than the earth?

Because of the weaker on the moon.


Is there any place on the earth without or the least level of radio frequency- electromagnteic waves to live healthier where is this place in Europe?

No, there's no place on earth with no radio frequency (RF) radiation whatsoever. And if there were it would not be in Europe. Anywhere with dense population is likely to have more electromagnetic energy around. But avoiding radio waves won't make you healthier. The energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency, and the photons of RF radiation are billions of times weaker (more harmless) than those of the infrared radiation that any warm object (such as a human being) gives off, and they're trillions of times weaker than ordinary sunlight, not even counting the ultra-violet, which is really the first part of the spectrum that poses a danger to your health.


How position relates to gravity?

The distance between two masses is directly proportional to the gravitational force between them. For example, the further you are from Earth's surface, the weaker Earth's gravitational force is on you. Source: high school physics


What happens to the pull of the gravity on the rocket as it get further from earth?

As any two masses move further apart, the gravitational forcesbetween them get weaker.


Why is gravity slightly weaker on the continents than over the oceans?

The Continents are further from the center of the earth, leaving the oceans to be closer which means gravity is slightly weaker


What happens to the strength of this gravitational field as an objects moves further away from Earth?

The further away from the Earth's surface you travel - the weaker the gravitational pull is.
