What do radio waves and gamma rays have in common?
2 answers:
Answer:
A - They are both electromagnetic waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, that vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (for this reason, they are said to be "transverse waves").
Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, can travel through a vacuum, and do not need a medium to propagate. Their speed in a vacuum is a constant and it is called speed of light ().
Electromagnetic waves are classified, depending on their wavelength and frequency, into 7 different types - together they form the electromagnetic spectrum. The 7 types, listed from shortest to longest wavelength, are:
gamma rays
X-rays
ultraviolet radiation
visible light
infrared radiation
microwaves
radio waves
All these waves, despite having different properties, are all electromagnetic waves -so we see that both radio waves and gamma rays belong to this type of waves.

Answer:
The observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
Explanation:
Given;
frequency of the source, Fs = 400 Hz
speed of the car as it approaches the stationary observer, Vs = 20 m/s
Based on Doppler effect, as the car the approaches the stationary observer, the observed frequency will be higher than the transmitted (source) frequency because of decrease in distance between the car and the observer.
The observed frequency is calculated as;
where;
F₀ is the observed frequency
v is the speed of sound in air = 340 m/s
F₀ ≅ 424 Hz.
Therefore, the observed frequency by the pedestrian is 424 Hz.
