Q: Compare and contrast the different parts of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. Evaluate the usefulness of each part and decide whi

ch part is most useful, or most important, to you and society as a whole. You must provide two reliable sources to back up your opinion. Recall that reliable sources include scientific sites or publications, education sites or publications, and government sites or publications.
The purpose of this assignment is to debate and consider different opinions on this topic. There is no right or wrong answer. However, this discussion should represent varying opinions. You will need to do some research and back up your opinions with facts. Remember to cite your sources!

A: The different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are ultraviolet lights, infrared lights, x-rays, gamma rays, and radio waves. All of these colors are called the electromagnetic spectrum. Each of these parts have different energy levels, wavelengths, and frequencies. According to scied.ucar,edu, Gamma rays have the highest energies and radio waves have the lowest. As imagine.gsfc.nasa.gov states, a comparison of all of the parts is that their radiations are defined by the amount of energy found in the photons. They will still have different energies but they all use photons. Usefulness for Radio: It captures radio waves emitted by radio station which makes our favorite tunes. Microwave: cooks popcorn in a few mins. Infrared: night vision goggles use this light. Helps us map dust between stars. Visible: Our eyes detect visible light. Fireflies, light bulbs, and stars all emit visible light. Ultraviolet:Emitted by sun and reason why skin tans and burns. X-ray:Dentist uses to view teeth, airport security to see through your bag, used to see inside things. Gamma ray: Doctors use it to image inside your body. I think the most important would be the visible ones because those are the ones everyone uses no matter what. If there was no light we wouldn't see. We can see light with our vision.

The infrared and ultraviolet parts of the electromagnetic spectrum can be used in the field of chemical analysis.

The sections of the EM spectrum are named in order of increasing energy gamma rays X-rays ultraviolet-visible light infrared, and radio waves. Microwaves used in microwave ovens are a subsection of the radio segment of the EM spectrum.

Electromagnetic energy travels in waves and covers a wide spectrum from very long radio waves to very short gamma rays. The human eye can only see a small portion of this spectrum known as visible light. The electromagnetic spectrum includes all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that carry energy and travel through space in the form of waves. Low frequencies and long wavelengths make up the radio spectrum.

Why does it take mars over 500 days to orbit the sun?
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Mar's orbital path is more than that of Earth, thus it takes more number of days to orbit around the sun.

Explanation:

Mars takes over 500 days to orbit all the way around the sun than Earth because its distance from the sun (228 million kilometers) is greater than that of Earth (150 million kilometers) which takes it 365 days.

Planets that orbit closer to the sun take shorter time to orbit around the sun because the cover a shorter orbital distance and orbit faster than those planets further from the sun.

<u>For example</u>

Using Earth's distance from the sun, 150 million kilometers and the number of days taken to orbits the sun ,365 days and the distance Mars is from the Earth, 228 million kilometers, you can approximate the time Mar takes to orbit the sun as:

Earth 150 million kilometers  = 365 days

Mars  228 million kilometers= ?

Cross product ; (228 *365) /150 =555 -----(a value closer to that in the question)

Acceleration is always measured in meters per second squared. Why is acceleration not measured in meters per second like speed?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration.

Explanation:

Because 'distance per second' is a velocity, not an acceleration. For example, at 1 m/s an object is travelling a distance of 1 metre every second. But a rate of acceleration is a steady increase in velocity. So at 1 m/s^2, an object's velocity is increasing by 1 m/s every second.

A 12000 kg boat is moving 4.25 m/s. Its engine pushes 9200 N forward, but the current pushes back at 12,500 N. How much times do
Verizon [17]

Answer:

15.5 seconds

Explanation:

Apply Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

-12500 + 9200 = (12000) a

a = -0.275 m/s²

v = at + v₀

0 = (-0.275) t + 4.25

t = 15.5 s

It takes the boat 15.5 seconds to stop.
