Assume you charge a comb by running it through your hair and then hold the comb next to a bar magnet. Do the electric and magnetic fields produced constitute an electromagnetic wave?
  1.Yes they do, necessarily.
  2.Yes they do, because charged particles are moving inside the bar magnet.
  3.They can, but only if the electric field of the comb and the magnetic field of the magnet are perpendicular.
  4.They can, but only if both the comb and the magnet are moving.
  5.They can, if either the comb or the magnet or both are accelerating.

Question 2

A student working with a transmitting apparatus like Heinrich Hertzs wishes to adjust the electrodes to generate electromagnetic waves with a frequency half as large as before. After she makes the required adjustment, what will the wavelength of the transmitted wave be?
  1.four times larger than before
  2.two times larger than before
  3.one-half as large as before
  4.one-fourth as large as before
  5.none of those answers

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Did you know?

As many as 20% of Americans have been infected by the fungus known as Histoplasmosis. While most people are asymptomatic or only have slight symptoms, infection can progress to a rapid and potentially fatal superinfection.

Critical care patients are twice as likely to receive the wrong medication. Of these errors, 20% are life-threatening, and 42% require additional life-sustaining treatments.

IgA antibodies protect body surfaces exposed to outside foreign substances. IgG antibodies are found in all body fluids. IgM antibodies are the first type of antibody made in response to an infection. IgE antibody levels are often high in people with allergies. IgD antibodies are found in tissues lining the abdomen and chest.
