What in the world is infrared radiation

Physics
1 answer:

Infrared radiation is heat that travels from one place to another
in the form of electromagnetic waves.

It's called "infrared" because its wavelength is just past the
longest visible light ... the next category with wavelengths
longer than red light.

Infrared radiation is how heat gets here from the sun, and how
you feel the heat from a fireplace or a campfire when you stand
20 feet away from them.  When that happens, your front gets
toasty while your back stays cold, so you know it's not a matter
of any warm air around you that's warming you.  It's the infrared
electromagnetic radiation direct from the fire to your skin.

If pressure is increased from 200 kPa to 300 kPa, and the original volume of gas was 1.5 L, what is the new volume? Assume the t
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:      V2 = 1 l

Explanation:

Data

P1 = 200 kPa

P2 = 300 kPa

V1 = 1.5 l

V2 = ?

Formula

                          P1V1 = P2V2

                          V2 = (P1V1) / P2

                          V2 = (200 x 1.5) / 300

                          V2 = 1 l

Michael Faraday was one of the first scientists to experiment with motors. How did Faraday design his first motor?
Margaret [11]
The correct option is D. 
Micheal Friday devised a wire which hanged down into a glass vessel that has a bar magnet secured at the bottom. He then filled the glass vessel with Mercury and connected the apparatus to a battery. This sent electricity through the wire, thus creating a magnetic field around it. This field interacted with the field around the magnet and cause the wire to rotate clock wisely.
