Why do waves with frequencies higher than visible light hurt while those with lower frequencies do not affect us?
STALIN [3.7K]
Lower frequency waves have less strength to penetrate. How bad a wave is all depends on how well it penetrates our bodies. Visible light doesn't penetrate ur skin, but UV rays (higher than visible) can go through our skin, making it <span>bad" for us. High frequency waves have more energy and move faster</span>

A wire of Nichrome (a nickel-chromium-iron alloy commonly used in heating elements) is 1.3 m long and 1.6 mm2 in cross-sectional
fredd [130]

Answer: 1.3 *10^6 Ω*m

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the following expression for the resistence:

R=L/(σ*A) where L and A are the length and teh area for the wire, respectively. σ is the conductivity of teh Nichrome.

Then, from mteh OHM law we have V=R*I so R=V/I=2/3.2=0.625 Ω

Finally we have:

σ=L/(R*A)=1.3/(0.625*1.6*10^-6)=1.3*10^6 Ω*m

What is the correct definition of a fracture?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The correct definition of a fracture is break in the bone

<u>Explanation:</u>

When nay injury results in the breaking or causing any cracking in the bones of any parts then this will lead to fracture. When the injury caused is near the ligament or tissue in which the bone is connected or attached then it will lead to an avulsion fractures. Thus this will lead to the pulling of bone form the original position thereby leading more pain in the spot associated with the fracture.

Sports people are the victims of this type of fracture. Fracture may occur anywhere mostly legs,hands,ankle,hip and elbow. sometimes it may be in finger, shoulder,knee,etc. The main symptoms that are associated with fracture includes, selling, inability in moving the fractured part or pain associated when trying to move that part, Loss of the affected part's function,etc.

Two competing models attempt to explain the motions and changing brightness of the planets: Ptolemy's geocentric model and Coper
AlekseyPX

Answer:

A. Geocentric: This model is Earth Centered . Retrograde motion is explained by epicycles .

B. Heliocentric: This model is Sun centered.  Retrograde motion is explained by the orbital speeds of planets

C. Both geocentric and heliocentric: Epicycles and deferents help explain planetary motion . Planets move in circular orbits and with uniform motion . The brightness of a planet increases when the planet is closest to Earth.

Explanation:

The principle of the Ptolemy's geocentric model was developed on the assumption that the center of the universe is the Earth. On the other hand, the principle of the Copernicus' heliocentric model was based on the assumption that the center of the universe is the sun. However, both models have a common ideology on uniform circular motion and epicycles.
