Radio waves infrared rays, visible light, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays are all types of electromagnetic radiation. Radio waves have the longest wavelength, and gamma rays have the shortest wavelength.
Light travels at precisely <span>299,792,458 metres every second (abbreviated to 3 x 10^8 metres every second but let's be precise)
There are 60 seconds in every minute (</span><span>299 792 458 x 60 = 17,987,547,480m)
60 minutes in every hour (17,987,547,480 x 60 = 1,079,252,849,000m)
96 hours in 4 days (</span><span>1,079,252,849,000 x 96 = 10,360,827,350,000m)
</span><span>Now let's convert to km to make this number (slightly) more manageable
(</span>10,360,827,350,000 / 1000 = <span>103,608,273,500km)
</span>Light travels <span>103,608,273,500km in 4 days - that's the equivalent of going around the equator of the earth 813,124 times!</span><span>

Hi!
The generic equation showing how a weak base ionizes water is the following:
B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ BH⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)
A base is described as weak when its dissociation is difficult and isn't complete. Weak Bases are chemical compounds that accept protons from water, to form the conjugate acid and the OH⁻ ion. The pH of the solution of a weak base is higher than 7. Some weak bases include ammonia (NH₃), Aluminum Hydroxide (Al(OH)₃) and Sodium Acetate (CH₃COONa).
Have a nice day!
