Answer:

as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields, described by maxwell's equations, the speed of the wave is called the speed of light

c = λ f

E = E cos (kx - wt)

Angular velocity is related to frequency and period.

w = 2π f = 2π / T

Let's analyze what happens when the wave period decreases, angular velocity and frequency increase.

This increase in frequency is reflected with the Planck equation in wave energy

E = h f

Therefore the wave carries more energy and can lead to stronger interactions with matter.

In summary, as the period decreases, the frequency and energy of the wave increase

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at

Maru [420]

Well you of course have different kinetic energies with the two speeds.
Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
The vehicle's mass is the same in both cases, so we can ignore that as well as 1/2 since it's a constant.
So we have (30)^2 vs (60^2)
which is 900 vs 3600
So having 60 mph compared to 30 mph is 4 times the kinetic energy.

A baseball has a mass of 0.145 kg. A professional pitcher throws a baseball 67 mi/h, which is 30.0 m/s. What is the magnitude of

Kamila [148]

The concept of momentum tells us that it is equivalent to the product between the mass and the velocity of the object, that is to say that in general it can be written as
