Answer:
UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.
Explanation:
The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.
The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.
Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz
Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz
Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (
to 
)
= ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )
Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:
E = hν
Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.
UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.
Answer:
Recall that Earth’s radius is 6.38 × 106 m and Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg.
Explanation:
Answer:
a = 0.55 m / s²
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration is given by the relation
a = v² / r
angular and linear velocities are related
v = w r
we substitute
a = w² r
In the exercise they indicate the angular velocity w = 1 rev/min, let's reduce to the SI system
w = 1 rev / min (2pi rad / 1rev) (1min / 60s) = 0.105 rad/ s
let's calculate
a = 0.105² 50.0
a = 0.55 m / s²
Answer:
(a) T = 10 s
(b) f = 0.1 Hz
(c) λ = 32 m
(d) v = 3.2 m/s
(e) Insufficient data
Explanation:
(a)
Time period is defined as the time interval required for one wave to pass. Therefore, the time period can be given as:
T = Period = Time Taken/No. of Waves
T = 50 s/5
<u>T = 10 s</u>
<u></u>
(b)
Frequency is the reciprocal of time period:
f = frequency = 1/T
f = 1/10 s
<u>f = 0.1 Hz</u>
<u></u>
(c)
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs:
<u>λ = Wavelength = 32 m</u>
<u></u>
(d)
Speed of wave is given by the following formula:
Speed = v = fλ
v = (0.1 Hz)(32 m)
v = 3.2 m/s
(e)
Amplitude cannot be found with given data.
