Answer:

Visible light

X rays

ultraviolet radiation

gamma rays

microwave radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillating electric and magnetic fields which vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). Electromagnetic waves have all same speed in a vacuum (c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s, known as speed of light) and are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency and wavelength. This classification is called electromagnetic spectrum.

From lowest to highest wavelength, the 7 types are:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Sound waves, on the contrary, do not belong to the electromagnetic spectrum, since they are another type of wave called mechanical waves (which consist of vibrations of the particles in a medium).

If the amplitude of a sound wave is increased by a factor of four,how does the energy carry by the sound wave in each time inter
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The energy will be increased by a factor 16

Explanation:

Mathematically, we have it that the energy carried by the sound wave is directly proportional to the square of the amplitude

So we have it that;

E = k * A^2

where E is the wave energy

K is the constant value

A is the amplitude value

So;

If E1 = k * (A1)^2

E2 = k * (A2)^2

But A2 = 4A1

E2 = k * (4A1)^2

E2 = k * 16(A1)^2

Divide E2 by E1

E2/E1 = k/k * 16(A1)^2/(A1)^2

E2/E1 = 16

E2 = 16 * E1

so simply, the energy will be increased by a factor of 16

The primary coil of a transformer has 200 turns and the secondary coil has 800 turns. The power supplied to the primary coil is
Arisa [49]

Answer:

400 Watts

Explanation:

The main function of a voltage transformer is to change alternating current (ac) voltage from one voltage level to another. The relationship between the primary coil and secondary coil of a transformer is a function of ratio of the voltage or current and number of turns or loop. The ratio of the voltages between the two coils is equal to the ratio of number of loops in the two coils.

                  \frac{V_{out} }{V_{in}} = \frac{V_{s}}{p}

Varying the number of winding in the primary and secondary coils allows the transformer to step-up or step-down voltages while power is neither increased nor decreased in the primary or secondary except for some minor losses such as iron losses, copper losses, hysteresis losses, eddy current losses, stray loss, and dielectric losses. Therefore, the power in the primary and secondary are the same. The power supplied to the 20-ohm resistor terminal in the secondary coil will be 400 Watts.

Define second class lever​
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

Please find detailed explanation of second class levers below

Explanation:

Levers are one of the classes of machine that possesses three levels namely: first class, second class and third claas. A second class lever is the level of levers in which the load (L) is in between the pivot (F) and the effort (E).

Examples of second class levers include; wheelbarrow, a bottle opener etc. In the bottle opener for example, the bottle lid (load) is in between the pivot of the opener and the hand opening it (effort).
