That's false. Mechanical waves (like sound and ocean waves) do
need a medium to travel in, but electromagnetic waves (like radio
and light) don't.

That is false because electromagnetic waves can travel without a medium.

hope this helps :)

Volume of an block is 5 cm3. If the density of the block is 250 g/cm3, what is the mass of the block ?

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

The mass of the block is 1250g.

Explanation:

Given that the formula for density is ρ = mass/volume. Then you have to substitute the values into the formula :

$ρ = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Let density = 250,

Let volume = 5,

$250 = \frac{m}{5}$

$m = 250 \times 5$

$m = 1250g$

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.
