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 ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ ).

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.

To qualify to run in the 2005 Boston Marathon, a distance of 26.2 miles, an 18-year-old woman had to have completed another mara

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

7,14545 mph and 3,1936 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is calculated by dividing the displacement over time, then it is 26,2 miles/(3 2/3 hours), here 3 (2/3) hours is a mixed number, that represents 11/3 hours or 3,66 hours. Then the average speed is 7,14545 mph, now to turn this into meters per second, we notice as mentioned that 1 mile =1609 meters and 1 hour=3600 seconds. Then 7,14545 miles/hour* (1 hour/3600 seconds) * (1609 meters/1 mile)=3,1936 m/s

Design an experimental set up to show that white light is made up of different colours of light

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Issac Newton was the first to use a glass prism to obtain the spectrum of sunlight. He tried to split the colours of the spectrum of white light further by using another similar prism. However, he could not get any more colours. He then placed a second identical prism in an inverted position with respect to the first as shown.

This allowed all the colours of the spectrum to pass through the second prism. He found a beam of white light emerging from the other side of the second prism. This observation gave Newton the idea that the sunlight is made-up of seven colours.

Most of our Solar system is composed of___

Bond [772]

Answer:

empty space

Explanation:

Our solar system comprises of the sun as the star, the planets, the dwarf planets, various moons, and plenty of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. However, the majority part of the solar system consists of a void or empty space. These empty spaces basically composed of planetary dust and gas.

Hence, it can be concluded that Most of our Solar system is composed of "Empty Spaces."
