How does the speed of visible light compare with the speed of gamma rays

Physics
1 answer:
DochEvi [55]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

They are the same

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of perpendicular oscillations of electric and magnetic field, which oscillate perpendicularly to the direction of motion of the wave (transverse wave). One property of the electromagnetic waves is that they travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, called speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types according to their frequency; from highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

We see that both visible light and gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, so they both travel in a vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light.

A wagon has a mass of 100 grams and an
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Net force on the wagon is 200 N

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's II law that net force on the system of mass is given as product of mass and acceleration

Here we know that

mass = 100 kg

a = 2 m/s/s

now we have

F = ma

F = (100)(2)

F = 200 N

Suppose our experimenter repeats his experiment on a planet more massive than Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is g
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ massive planet be a = 30 m/s^2

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ earth be g = 30 m/s^2

Solution:

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration a on massive planet is:

                                 t = v / a

                                 t = v / 30

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration g on earth is:

                                 t = v / g

                                 t = v / 9.81

- Hence, we can see the average time taken by the ball on massive planet is less than that on earth to reach back to its initial position. Hence, option C

A 0.400-kg object is swung in a circular path and in a vertical plane on a 0.500-m-length string. If the angular speed at the bo
Talja [164]

Answer:

T = 16.72 N

Explanation:

When the object is swung in a circular path, and in a vertical plane, there are two forces external to the object acting on it at any time: the gravity (which is always downward) and the tension in the string (which always points towards the center of the circle).

At the bottom of the circle, the tension is directly upward, so these two forces, are opposite each other, and the difference between them is the centripetal force , which at this point, keeps the object swinging in a circle.

This is the point of the trajectory where T is maximum.

We can apply Newton's 2nd Law, choosing an axis vertical (y-axis) being the upward direction the positive one, as follows:

T- m*g = m*a

The acceleration, at the bottom of the circle, is only normal (as there are no forces in the horizontal direction) , and is equal to the centripetal acceleration, as follows:

ac =  v² / r = ω²*r⇒ T- m*g = m*ω²*r

Replacing by the givens, we can solve for T as follows:

T = m* (ω²*r+g) = 0.4 kg*((8.00)² rad/sec²*0.5m)+9.8 m/s²) = 16.72 N
