How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?

1 answer:

5 0

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.

A small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s directly upward.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad$

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

$0=v_i^2+2ah$

$h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}$

which for our values is:

$h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m$

A carbon fiber car bumper is hit by another car with the stress of 106,483 Pa. If carbon fiber has a Young's modulus of 228 x 10

hoa [83]

Answer:

Stress = 4.67 * 10^-7 N/m²

Explanation:

Young's modulus of the material = Stress/Strain

Given

Young's modulus = 228 x 10^9 Pa

Stress = 106,483 Pa

Required

Strain

From the formula;

Strain = Stress/Young modulus

Strain = 106,483 /228 x 10^9

Stress = 4.67 * 10^-7 N/m²

Which of the following changes would make a heat engine less efficient

DIA [1.3K]

A heat engine would be less efficient due to many factors
For instance, a heat engine is more efficient when it uses in cold weather because there is a greater temperature difference ( Carnot Efficient )
A heat engine could be less efficient because of friction

Starting from rest, a particle that is confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s2. Which one of

Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

$s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2$

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

$s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t$

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.
