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.

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.

You are a crane operator using a wrecking ball to demolish an old building. You can choose to use a 100-kg ball or a 150-kg ball
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The two balls, although of different masses, could be made to have the same demolishing force by setting the velocity of the 100 kg ball to 1.5 times the velocity of the 150 kg ball.

That is if V₁ is the velocity of the 150 kg ball and  V₂ is the velocity of the 100 kg ball then V₂  = 1.5×V₁ for the demolishing effect of the two balls to be equal.

Explanation:

To answer the we are required to explain the meaning of momentum and state its properties

Momentum is a physical property of an object in motion. It indicates the amount of motion inherent in the object.  An object in motion is said to have momentum

The types of momentum possessed by an object can be classified into either

1, Linear momentum or

2. Angular momentum

An object moving with a velocity, v has linear momentum while a spinning object has an angular momentum

The momentum is given by the formula

P = m × V

Where m = mass and

V = velocity

Newtons second law of motion states that, the force acting on an object is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum produced and acting in the direction of the force

Properties of momentum

From the above statements it means that the two balls can be made equivalent by having the appropriate amount of speed. That iis the two balls can have the same momentum thus for equal momentum effect, we have

150 kg × V₁ = 100 kg × V₂

or V₂ = 1.5×V₁
