The correct answer to the question is : C) By their wavelength

EXPLANATION:

Before going to answer this question, first we have to understand the electromagnetic spectrum.

An electromagnetic wave is the transverse wave which contains time varying electric field and magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.

There are various electromagnetic waves which are named as gamma ray, X-ray, U.V ray, visible light, infrared wave, micro wave and radio waves respectively. Out of these waves, only visible light can be visualized by human eye.

Every electromagnetic wave is characterized by its wavelength. Different waves have different range of wavelength.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the the arrangement of electromagnetic waves either in ascending order of wavelength or in descending order.

The gamma ray has the minimum wavelength in the spectrum, and radio wave has the maximum wavelength.

The energy carried by electromagnetic waves having wavelength \lambda is calculated as-

                  Energy = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

Here, c is the velocity of light and h is the Planck' s constant.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is wavelength which will signify the energy of different types of electromagnetic waves.

The energy associated with the electromagnetic spectrum is given by the wavelength of the spectrum.

Further Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves are the waves which travel through the space and do not require any medium for their propagation. The Electromagnetic waves are the waves which are transverse in nature.

There are several waves of various wavelength and frequency present in the Electromagnetic spectrum. The different waves present in the electromagnetic spectrum are:

  • Gamma rays.
  • X-rays.
  • Ultraviolet rays.
  • Visible rays.
  • Infrared rays.
  • Micro waves.
  • Radio waves.

The wavelength and the frequency of the electromagnetic waves are the key properties of the wave which describe several other parameters of the waves like intensity, power, energy of the wave etc.

The energy associated with the electromagnetic radiation is given by:

  E=\frac{{hc}}{\lambda}

Here, E  is the energy of the radiation, h  is the plank’s constant, c  is the speed of the light and \lambda  is the wavelength of the radiation.

Therefore, the above expression shows that the energy of the electromagnetic spectrum depends on the wavelength of the spectrum.

Thus, Option (d) is correct. The energy of the electromagnetic spectrum is defined by their wavelength.

Cloud [144]

Answer: The hottest star is Archenar( blue) and the coolest star is Betelgeuse

Explanation:

Objects emit radiation that depends exclusively on their temperature. At an ambient temperature, the radiation emitted by an object is in the infrared spectrum (we could only see it with a special camera). If we heat it we will see that it first turns red (whose state we call “red hot”) because it is the lowest and least energetic wavelength of all.

If we continue to heat it, the wavelength that it emits to one with more energy will continue to increase and we will see that it turns yellow and then white. This is a signal that is emitting at all frequencies (but mainly in blue).

If we continue to warm a body that is "white hot", it would emit in the ultraviolet spectrum, with what would become ... black! then we would not see it emits light in the visible spectrum (well, we would see a very faint bluish light corresponding to the tail of the distribution of the spectrum it emits, but the peak of that spectrum would be in the ultraviolet).

12. The diameter of a circle is 2.42m. Calculate its<br>area in proper significant figure​
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

A = 4.6 [m²]

Explanation:

The area of a circle can be calculated by means of the following equation.

A=\frac{\pi }{4} *D^{2}

where:

A = area [m²]

D = diameter = 2.42 [m]

Now replacing:

A=\frac{\pi }{4} *(2.42)^{2} \\A = 4.6 [m^{2} ]

Although planets orbit the Sun in ellipses, all the planetary orbits are fairly close to circular and not very eccentric.
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in this same, right-hand-rule direction. All planetary orbits lie in nearly the same plane. All planetary orbits are nearly circular (eccentricity near zero).
