Answer:

gamma rays , X rays,  ultraviolet , visible light , infrared,  radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the set of electromagnetic radiations distributed in their different frequencies or wavelengths, which in turn are related to their energy.   If we go from the smallest wavelengths known up to now (because according to physics the electromagnetic spectrum is infinite and continuous) to the longest, the electromagnetic spectrum covers the following radiations:  

Gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet, visible light (all the colors we are able to see), infrared, radio waves and microwaves.  

Let's make a brief of them:

-Gamma rays: With a wavelength in the order of 10^{-12}m, is a type of ionizing radiation capable of penetrating matter quite deeply and is able to cause serious damage to the nucleus of the cells. Inaddiito, these rays are used to sterilize medical equipment and food.

-X rays: With a wavelength between 1m and 10km. It is invisible to the human eye, capable of crossing opaque bodies and of being an ionizing radiation.

-Ultraviolet light: Whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

-Visible light: This part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light (380 nm - 780 nm).  It should be noted, the fact the only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

-Infrared: This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).  

These waves can be divided into:  

<u>- Near infrared</u> or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.  

<u>- Medium or medium wave infrared:</u> it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.  

-<u> Far infrared or short wave infrared: </u>it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.  

This light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

-Radio waves: These are a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths between 10 m to 10,000 m. This type of electromagnetic waves is very well reflected in the ionosphere, the layer of the atmosphere through which they travel directly or using repeaters.  In addition, they are very useful to transport information, being important in telecommunications. They are used not only for conventional radio transmissions but also in mobile telephony and TV.

How is energy transferred during the water cycle? Question 1 options: Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it duri
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere

Explanation:

In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.

In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.

In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.

Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.

If a train travels 80 miles north, 60 miles east, what’s the magnitude of its total displacement? Find the solution by drawing a
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

100 miles North East.

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, X represents the magnitude of the total displacement of the train.

Thus, we can obtain the value of X by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

X² = 80² + 60²

X² = 6400 + 3600

X² = 10000

Take the square root of both side

X = √10000

X = 100 miles.

Therefore, the magnitude of the total displacement of the train is 100 miles North East.
