Kepler's first law - sometimes referred to as the law of ellipses - explains that planets are orbiting the sun in a path described as an ellipse. An ellipse can easily be constructed using a pencil, two tacks, a string, a sheet of paper and a piece of cardboard. Tack the sheet of paper to the cardboard using the two tacks. Then tie the string into a loop and wrap the loop around the two tacks. Take your pencil and pull the string until the pencil and two tacks make a triangle (see diagram at the right). Then begin to trace out a path with the pencil, keeping the string wrapped tightly around the tacks. The resulting shape will be an ellipse. An ellipse is a special curve in which the sum of the distances from every point on the curve to two other points is a constant. The two other points (represented here by the tack locations) are known as the foci of the ellipse. The closer together that these points are, the more closely that the ellipse resembles the shape of a circle. In fact, a circle is the special case of an ellipse in which the two foci are at the same location. Kepler's first law is rather simple - all planets orbit the sun in a path that resembles an ellipse, with the sun being located at one of the foci of that ellipse.

An EM wave has a wave length of 956 m, What type of electromagnetic waves is this wave
Assoli18 [71]

The electromagnetic spectrum allows finding the result for the question of type of electromagnetic wave has a wavelength of 956 nm

  • The wave is in the near infrared range.

The electromagnetic wave is an oscillation of electric fields and magnets field that sustain each other, this wave time has the characteristics that it can travel without a material medium, for which they are of extreme importance.

Consequently the spectrum of electromagnetic waves to each part has been given a different name second to its use, for example

Range                        Name  

Ultraviolet light          200 to 400 nm

Visible light               400 to 700 nm

Infrared light (heat  ) 700 nm to 1 mm

The latter is subdivided into:

 Near infrared          700 nm to 1000 nm (1 μm)

 Medium infrared        1 μm  to 30 μm

 Far infrared             50 μm to 1000 μm

It indicates that the wavelength of the measured radiation is 956 nm, therefore it is in the near infrared range.

1. What are the units of : pressure, force , area
White raven [17]

Pressure- Pascal(N/m^2)

Force- Newton

Area-m^2(Square metre)

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Pressure is force continuous force applied to an object. The applied force is always perpendicular to the surface of the object.
  • Force is a push or pulls on an object by an external body where it changes its state from rest to motion.
  • Force is said to have both magnitude and direction.
  • Area is the portion that shows the scale of a 2D form or configuration in the level. The covering area is its analog on the 2D surface of a 3D object.

If the amplitude of a wave is 4 feet, what is the Wave Height?
Alexus [3.1K]

A wave is a disturbance that moves along a medium from one end to the other. If one watches an ocean wave moving along the medium (the ocean water), one can observe that the crest of the wave is moving from one location to another over a given interval of time. The crest is observed to cover distance. The speed of an object refers to how fast an object is moving and is usually expressed as the distance traveled per time of travel. In the case of a wave, the speed is the distance traveled by a given point on the wave (such as a crest) in a given interval of time. In equation form,
