X-rays travel in vacuum at a higher speed than the visible light. (A) True (B) False

Physics
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

(B) False

Explanation:

The visible light and the x-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, all in the spectrum travel in the vacuum at the same speed, at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s ). If the visible light ant the x-rays are traveling inside a medium, their velocity will change due to the properties of the medium but in the vacuum, their speed is the same.

g what are the bands of electromagneitc radiation and how are they related to energy frequency and wavelength
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The details of bands is given in explanation.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves are differentiated into different bands based upon their wavelengths and frequencies. The names of different bands are as follows:

1. Radio Waves

2. Micro Waves

3. Infra-red

4. Visible light

5. Ultra Violet

6. X-rays

7. Gamma Rays

<u>The frequency of every region or rays increases from 1 through 7</u>. The <u>energy of rays also increase from 1 through 7</u>. Since, the wave length is inversely related to energy and frequency, thus the <u>wavelength of rays decrease from 1 through 7</u>.

A detailed information of the bands is provided in the picture attached.

Explain why air masses do not mix
kati45 [8]

 

Different densities have to have a reason - different pressure and/or humidity etc. If there is a different pressure, there is a mechanical force that preserves the pressure difference: think about the cyclones that have a lower pressure in the center. The cyclones rotate in the right direction and the cyclone may be preserved by the Coriolis force.

If the two air masses differ by humidity, the mixing will almost always lead to precipitation - which includes a phase transition for water etc. It's because the vapor from the more humid air mass gets condensed under the conditions of the other. You get some rain. In general, intense precipitation, thunderstorms, and other visible isolated weather events are linked to weather fronts.

At any rate, a mixing of two air masses is a nontrivial, violent process in general. That's why the boundary is called a "front". In the military jargon, a front is the contested frontier of a conflict. So your idea that the air masses could mix quickly and peacefully - whatever you exactly mean quantitatively - either neglects the inertia of the air, a relatively low diffusion coefficient, a low thermal conductivity, and/or high latent heat of water vapor. A front is something that didn't disappear within minutes so pretty much tautologically, there must be forces that make such a quick disappearance impossible.

A solid cylinder of mass 7 kg and radius 0.9 m starts from rest at the top of a 20º incline. It is released and rolls without sl
ohaa [14]

Answer:

157.8 J

Explanation:

m = mass of the cylinder = 7 kg

h = height difference in top and bottom of the incline = 2.3 m

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

TE = Total Energy at the bottom

PE = Gravitational potential energy at the top

Using conservation of energy

Total Energy at the bottom = Gravitational potential energy at the top  

TE = PE

TE = m g h

TE = (7) (9.8) (2.3)

TE = 157.8 J

Water is returned from earth’s surface to the atmosphere by
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

Evaporation is a form of mass tranfer phenomena where by water are moved from the earth surface into the atmosphere as vapours,it is path of the water cycle a decription of the path moved by land water until it turns into rain, humidity,air and temperature are factors that influence evaporation though evaporation can happen at all temperature
