What has particles that vibrates at right angles to the direction of the wave?

Photons oscillate (vibrate) along an axis that is perpendicular to the direction of the photon's travel. Photons are responsible for all electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, invisible light (infrared and ultraviolet), X-rays, radio waves, and magnetic waves. . When all photons in a beam of light oscillate in same direction, that is called polarized light.


How does the cleavage of feldspar differ from the cleavage of mica?

Biotite (black mica) and muscovite (white mica) are both minerals that have perfect basal cleavage--one direction. It cleaves into thin sheets. Feldspars (albite, oligoclase, andesine, labradorite, bytownite, anorthite) have good cleavage in two directions at nearly right angles, poor in a third direction.


What is the motor effect?

When the current passes at right angles through a magnetic field, it experiences a force. The direction of the force is determined by Flemmings "Left Hand Motor Rule" This mechanical motion results from the interaction of the magnetic field which is known as the Motor Effect.


Flemmings left Hand Rule?

Fleming's left hand rule for motors is a visual depiction used to determine direction of rotation in a motor. Extend your thumb, index finger and middle finger of your left hand at right angles to each other. The thumb represents direction of relative motion. The index finger represents direction of flux (magnetic field). The middle finger represents direction of current flow. A simple way of remembering what each digit represent is the phrase: "Martha's Fresh Cookies." M being motion, F being flux and C being current. Fleming's Right hand rule for generators is the same except you use your right hand and it applies to direction of rotation of generators.


How can a electromagnetic wave transmit location?

Direction finding depends on a process of triangulation. Ship's navigators used to do this by sighting three points on the shore and plotting the angles on a chart. Then this method was adapted by using radio transmitters, and with a receiver that has a sharply defined angle of acceptance, you can do the same thing. Nowadays with satellites the system of GPS (Global Positioning System) has evolved. The receiver detects the angles of three satellites and works out the position automatically.

What characterizes constant velocity motion on a position time graph?

A straight line with a constant slope. But the reverse is not true. A straight line with a constant slope only means constant speed in the radial direction. The velocity may have components at right angles to the radial direction that are changing.


What are negative quadrant angles?

using protactor, we use to draw angles in anticlockwise direction and that angles are called positive quadrant angles. and angles in clockwise direction, these angles are called negative quadrant angles.


Is it possible for an object to have an acceleration when the speed of the object is constant?

Yes, if apply at the right angles the acceleration can change the object's current direction without effecting its speed.

What kind of angles are congruent angles formed by intersecting lines?

congruent angles are simply two angles that are identical in degrees although they may not necessarily be pointing the same direction
