Explanation:
Radiation means ‘energy that is transported from one spot to another without the need of direct contact between the two locations’, Light in each carries a different amount of energy, this is what we call electromagnetic radiation or electromagnetic waves. Gamma rays are the most energetic, and radio is the least.
<em>In order from longest to shortes wavelenghts we have:</em>
- Radio waves: they are made by various types of transmitters, given off by stars, sparks, and lightning, they have the lowest frequencies (longest wavelenghts) in the electromagnetic spectrum and are used mainly for communications.
- Microwaves: they are extremely high-frequency radio waves (Their wavelength is usually a couple of centimeters) made by various types of transmitters.
- Infra-red waves: they are just below visible red light in the electromagnetic spectrum, they're given off by hot objects.
- Visible lights is the tiny part of the electromagnetic spectrum our eyes can detect.
- Ultra-Violet: this light is given off by the Sun in large quantities. We call it "UV" for short and can also be used to kill microbes.
- X-rays: they are very high-frequency waves that carry a lot of energy. They will pass through most substances, and this makes them useful in medicine and industry to see inside things.
- Gamma rays: they are given off by stars and by some radioactive substances. They are extremely high-frequency waves (the shortest wavelength) and carry a large amount of energy. They pass through most materials.
In the image, I annexed you can see the electromagnetic spectrum with the type of radiations from the shortest to the longest wavelengths.
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
The smallest number of distinct points that can define a plane would be 3 points. Below this value, you cannot create a plane, you can only create a line or a point. A plane that has three point is called a triangle. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
The Earth rumbles and a hiss of steam issues from the top of Mt Ruapehu. Are these two events related? Is the earthquake caused by the volcano? Or is the steam caused by the earthquake?
Tectonic plates
When Alfred Wegener first proposed the idea of continental drift (the precursor idea to plate tectonic theory), it didn’t quite explain the full story. While he correctly showed that Africa and South America fitted together, his model wasn’t able to explain the violent forces that occur around the Earth’scrust.
6x+4y=13
-(3x+4y=8.5)
-------------------
3x=4.5 =x=4.5/3=1.5
It will be 1.5
