What feature best distinguishes one form of electromagnetic energy from another?

Physics
1 answer:
anastassius [24]2 years ago
3 0

The family of electromagnetic waves ranges from the Long Radio waves to the gama rays.

All of that contain electromagnetic energy and move at the speed of light.

But what distinguish one from another is their wavelengh.

Or, if you like, its counterpart: their frequency. (as can be seen in the equation c = λ . f   where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelengh and f is the frequency).

The shorter the wavelengh (the greater the frequency) more powerful (more energy it contains) is the electromagnetic wave.

From all the different kinds of electromagnetic waves of the spectrum, the less powerful (less energetic) are the Long Radio waves (λ in metres) and the more powerful ones are the gama rays (λ in 10^{-12} m).

Why does the sky change colors at sunset?
KiRa [710]

Atmospheric refraction is the deviation of light or other electromagnetic wave from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere due to the variation in air density as a function of height. ... Refraction not only affects visible light rays, but all electromagnetic radiation, although in varying degrees.

So in short, the answer is D.

What substances were found in the innermost regions (within about the inner 0.3 AUAU) of the solar system before planets began t
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hydrogen and helium compounds.

Explanation:

We know that the solar System was formed around <u>4.6 billion years ago, </u>due to the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud.

This cloud  is a type of interstellar cloud and its density and size permit the formation of molecules, most commonly molecular hydrogen.

Therefore the principal substances were found before planets began to form are hydrogen and helium compounds, besides Rocks, metals, most of them in gaseous form.

I hope it helps you!
