Answer:

X-rays are most often used to examine bones and teeth. Magnetic resonance imaging uses radio waves and a magnetic field to create more detailed pictures of the inside of the body. This type of imaging is used to find tumors and other abnormalities in tissues that won't show up in X-rays.

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is v = 1/ κμ0ε0 , where κ is the dielectri

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given that,

The speed of an electromagnetic wave traveling in a transparent nonmagnetic substance is given by :

$v=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{k\mu_o\epsilon_o}}$

Where

k is the dielectric constant of the substance.

v is the speed of light in water

$c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{1.78\times 4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}}$

$v=2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

So, the speed of light in water is $2.24\times 10^{8}\ m/s$

Compare the strengths of UV light and microwaves (in Hz). Which type of light is more powerful and how do you know?

TEA [102]

Answer:

UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.

Explanation:

The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.

The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.

Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz

Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz

Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = ( $\frac{8\times10^{14} }{300\times10^{6} }$ to $\frac{3\times10^{16} }{300\times10^{9} }$ )

= ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:

E = hν

Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.

UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.

Describe what would happen if you rubbed a mineral with a Mohs hardness value of 7 against a mineral with a value of 5?

chubhunter [2.5K]

The mineral with Mohs hardness would be scratched because the mineral with Mohs 7 hardness is stronger than the Mohs 5 mineral. Eventually, that mineral would turn into dust if you kept rubbing it.

HELPPPPP it’s due in 10 minutes

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A.c

Explanation:

The chromosphere is above the photosphere, the visible "surface" of the Sun. It lies below the solar corona, the Sun's upper atmosphere, which extends many thousands of kilometers above the chromosphere into space. The plasma (electrically charged gas) in the chromosphere has a very low density.

In basic terms it is the 2nd one out from the core.

Heating gas to create plasma can yield A) neutrons. B) elements. C) molecules. D) free electrons.

Romashka [77]

<h2>Answer: free electrons</h2>

Plasma is known as the 4th state of matter and is itself ionized gas. In this sense, ionization consists of the production of ions, which are electrically charged atoms or molecules due to the excess or lack of electrons with respect to a neutral atom or molecule.

That is why in this process there are always free electrons. Therefore in heating gas to create plasma can yield free electrons, and the correct option is D.
