Answer:

Relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Let us take a look at the electromagnetic spectrum

Radio waves

Wavelength = $10^3\ m$

Microwaves

Wavelength = $10^{-2}\ m$

Infrared waves

Wavelength = $10^{-5}\ m$

Visible waves

Wavelength = $0.5\times 10^{-6}\ m$

Radio waves

Wavelength = $10^3\ m$

Ultraviolet waves

Wavelength = $10^{-8}\ m$

X ray waves

Wavelength = $10^{-10}\ m$

Gamma ray waves

Wavelength = $10^{-12}\ m$

So, it can be seen that the visible light makes up a relatively small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

What happens to light waves from a star as the star moves toward Earth?

Musya8 [376]

This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the blue end of the spectrum. If the star is moving away from us, it’s waves are effectively stretched out when they reach earth, increasing their wavelength. This shifts the star’s spectral lines toward the red end of the spectrum.

Importance of choke coil?

Verdich [7]

Answer:The choke coil works because it can act as an inductor. When the current pass through will change as AC currents creates a magnetic field in the coil that works against that current. This is known as inductance and blocks most of the AC current from passing through.

GETTING TIMED PLS HELP! Do the runners in the picture above represent kinetic or potential energy? you need to explain why.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

They represent kinetic energy

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy

A body can do work due to some of its attributes or states. For example, its mass can do work if used to provide energy, if the object is at a certain height respect to some reference level, it can do work when going downwards (potential energy), if the object moves at a certain speed, it can do work when transferring part of its speed to other objects. It's called kinetic energy and is given by

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Both runners are moving in a horizontal path, thus they have kinetic energy, given by the above equation. If they could jump below ground level, then they will also have potential energy
