Which of electromagnetic radiation has the shortest wavelength?

Physics
1 answer:
9966 [12]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength are gamma rays.

Explanation:

Photons are the particles that constitute light and its kwnow that lights propagates as electromagnetic waves.

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.        

The energy given for each wavelength can be found by means of the following equation.

E = h\nu  (1)

but c = \lambda \cdot \nu

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}   (2)

Where E is the energy, h is the planck's constant and \lambda is the wavelength.

                   

So, it can be see in equation 2 that when the wavelength increases the energy decreases (inversely proportional).

Hence, the electromagnetic radiation with the shortest wavelength are gamma rays.

A jet airliner moving initially at 889 mph
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1500 mph

Explanation:

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

The x component of the velocity is:

vₓ = 889 cos 0° + 830 cos 59°

vₓ = 1316.5 mph

The y component of the velocity is:

vᵧ = 889 sin 0° + 830 sin 59°

vᵧ = 711.4 mph

The speed is found with Pythagorean theorem:

v² = vₓ² + vᵧ²

v² = (1316.5 mph)² + (711.4 mph)²

v = 1496 mph

Rounded to two significant figures, the jet's speed relative to the ground is 1500 mph.

Energy energy can be transferred from one form to another we use many Indrajeet Converse in our daily life observe carefully to
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Find the list below.

Explanation:

Energy conversion imply the transformation of energy from one form to another. Examples of these conversions in my home include the following:

1. Chemical energy stored in food is converted to mechanical energy used in working(example sweeping)

2. Chemical energy stored in batteries are used to produce sound energy from the radio.

3. Electrical energy flowing through the wires are used to provide heat energy from the heating device.

4. Electric energy stored in the fan is converted to kinetic energy.

5. Chemical energy stored in petrol is converted to mechanical and electrical energies in the generator.

6. Electric energy supplied by the electric gas cooker is used to generate thermal energy after heating water.

7. Electrical energy flowing through the wires supply light energy in the bulbs.

8. Electric energy is converted to light and sound energy in the televisions.

9. Light energy from the sun is converted to chemical energy in the plants at the garden.

10. Electric energy is converted to sound and light energy in the kitchen blender.

A car can accelerate from rest to 28 m/s and travels 280meters. How long does this acceleration take?
Reika [66]

Answer:

a=1.4m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Velocity v=28m/s

Distance d=280

Generally the Newtons equation for motion is mathematically given as

Acceleration

v^2=2as

a=\frac{V^2}{2s}

a=\frac{28^2}{2*280}

a=1.4m/s^2
