The shortest wavelength of visible light = violet light

Energy that can be felt as heat but not seen = infrared

Short, invisible rays that can cause eye damage = ultraviolet

Visible light with the longest wavelength = red light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, occurring in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

They are the only type of waves able to travel without a medium, and they are transverse in nature.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which value is:

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

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different classes, depending on their wavelength/frequency, and they have different properties. From shortest to longest wavelength (and from highest to lowest frequency), they are:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Moreover, the visible light of the spectrum is further divided into different colors, according to how our eye perceive them; from shortest to longest wavelength:

violet

blue

green

yellow

orange

red

Therefore, we have:

The shortest wavelength of visible light is violet light, which has wavelength between 380 and 450 nm
The longest wavelength of visible light is red light, which has wavelenght between 620 and 750 nm
Infrared radiation is a type of radiation that is felt as heat by our body, however it cannot be seen because it falls outside the spectrum of visible light
Ultraviolet radiation is also invisible to human eye; it has shorter wavelength than visible light and therefore it has more frequency (and more energy), therefore it can cause damage, especially to the eye

Identify evidence that supports the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. put responses in the correct input to ans

GenaCL600 [577]

The evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics includes different fossils, the same rocks and the shapes of continents that fit together.

<h3>What is continental drift?</h3>

Continental drift is a theory that states continents once were part of one big landmass known as Pangea.

Nowadays, the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener has been replaced by plate tectonics.

In conclusion, the evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics includes fossils, the same rocks and the shapes of continents that fit together.

You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

lana [24]

Answer:

<em>The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv</em>

Explanation:

<u>Change of Momentum</u>

Assume an object has a momentum p1 and after some interaction it now has a momentum p2, the change of momentum is

$\Delta p=p_2-p_1$

The momentum is computed as

$p=mv$

Where m is the mass of the object and v its speed. Now let's analyze the situation of both the ball and the clay.

The clay has an initial speed v and a mass m, thus its initial momentum is

$p_1=mv$

When it hits the wall, it sticks, thus its final speed is 0 and

$p_2=0$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=0-mv=-mv$

The absolute change is mv

Now for the ball, the initial condition is the same as it was for the clay, but the ball hits back at the same speed, thus its final momentum is

$p_2=-mv$

The change of momentum is

$\Delta p=-mv-mv=-2mv$

The absolute change is 2mv

The fifth option is the correct answer: mv; 2 mv

6. What is the change in temperature of a metal rod that is 55.0 cm long, decreases length by 0.20 cm, and that has a coefficien

MrMuchimi

Explanation:

We have,

Length of a metal rod is 55 cm or 0.55 m

Change in length is 0.2 cm or 0.002 m

It is required to find the change in temperature of a metal rod. The coefficient of linear expansion is given by :

$\alpha =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\Delta T}$

$\Delta T$ is the change in temperature

$\Delta T =\dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0\alpha }\\\\\Delta T =\dfrac{0.002}{0.55\times 12\times 10^{-6}}\\\\\Delta T= 303.03^{\circ} C$

So, the change in temperature is 303.03 degrees Celsius.

What happens to density when you change temperature of an object?

solong [7]

Most of the substances have higher density in solid state. When we heated solids it change its state to liquid. After a few minutes the liquid will boil and after that it will change to gas. Gaseous state of matter has the lowest density. From this we can conclude that density decreases with increase in temperature.

Note the point: Water has higher density in 4℃, at its liquid state
