Answer:
All electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed in a vacuum
Explanation:
All the wave listed in the question are electromagnetic waves. The speed of electromagnetic waves (collectively called light) in a vacuum is fixed. Its value is 3×10^8 ms^-1. This is a constant for all electromagnetic waves irrespective of their frequency.
Hence for any electromagnetic wave, its speed is 3×10^8 ms^-1, this will be the common velocity of all the electromagnetic waves listed in the question in a vacuum thus we can not rank them according to speed.
If Earth's axis was "straight up and down" instead of tilted, then ...
<span>-- There would be no seasons.
-- The climate at any one place would be the same all year around.
-- The days would be the same length, everywhere,
and all year around.
-- So would the nights.
-- The sun would be up a little more than 12 hours every day.
It would be down a little less than 12 hours every day.
-- At the middle of the day, the sun would be at the same height
in the sky all year around, not higher in some months and lower
in others.
-- The equator would be the only place on Earth where the sun
could ever be directly over your head.
-- If you were at the north pole or the south pole, the sun would be
down on the horizon, and it would just go around and around you
every day. It would never rise or set, and it would never get any
higher or lower.

Answer:
Sound waves need to travel through a medium such as solids, liquids and gases. The sound waves move through each of these mediums by vibrating the molecules in the matter. The molecules in solids are packed very tightly. ... Sound travels about four times faster and farther in water than it does in air
Answer:
The required heat energy is .
Explanation:
The heat energy 'Q' required to raise the temperature of water is given by
where 'M' is the mass of water, 's' is the specific heat capacity of water and '' is the change of temperature.
Given, and we know that the specific heat capacity of water is .
Substituting the values in the above expression, the required heat energy is
