USB adapter

I have a 2018 Mac Air and am trying to connect it to a peripheral via a USBa. My Mac Air has a Thunderbolt/USB4 port. Will a USB C adapter work with my USB4?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

Yes. Thunderbolt/USB4 is backwards compatible with USB-C, so there shouldn't be a problem.

Will a USB-C Adaptor; fit into what Apple calls the USB 3 port on the new iMac 2021 Will a USB-C Adaptor; fit into what Apple calls the USB 3 port on the new iMac 2021? The port looks like it will only accept a USB-C. Perplexed why Apple calls it a USB 3 port if one uses a USB -C dongle.
