Humans experience the longest visible electromagnetic waves as

Physics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Red light

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum classifies all the electromagnetic waves according to their wavelength/frequency. In order from shortest to longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All of these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the "visible light" part of the spectrum. Waves in the visible light part are perceived by human as different colors, depending on their wavelength. More specifically, they appear as follows:

Violet (380-450 nm)

Blue (450-495 nm)

Green (495-570 nm)

Yellow (570-590 nm)

Orange (590-620 nm)

Red (620-750 nm)

So we see that the longest electromagnetic wave in the visible light part of the spectrum corresponds to red light.

If you were in charge of designing a wire to carry electricity across your city, state or province, which of
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Thin, aluminium and buried underground.

Explanation:

When it comes to electrification of a state or province, some characteristics of the wire to use must be considered. This would help to minimize and avoid power loss and wire burns.

i. The wire to use should be thin, and a quite number can be twisted one against the other so as to increase the surface area for heat dissipation.

ii. Aluminium wire is more preferable for this project. It has a high melting point, and reduces energy loss.

iii. Burying the wire underground through an insulator is the best choice, though expensive but would preserve the wire from external influence.

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate
