Answer: Gamma rays

Explanation: The given waves belong to the electromagnetic spectrum which consists of different electromagnetic radiations arranged in terms of increasing wavelengths or decreasing frequencies.

$E= h\times \nu$

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

Thus $E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}$

E= energy

$\nu$ = frequency

c = speed of light

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Thus frequency and wavelength are inversely related. The waves having high energies ave high frequencies and have shorter wavelengths.

Thus gamma rays having highest energy have highest frequency and shortest wavelength.

Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

Marat540 [252]

A spring scale measures weight because It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a spring is proportional to the distance that spring is extended from its rest position. Therefore, the scale markings on the spring balance are equally spaced. A spring scale cannot measure mass, only weight. hope that helped

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi

Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0 =$ Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

$\theta$ = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

$I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}$

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta$

$I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)$

$I_2 = 0.125I_0$

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

$\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30$

Then,

$I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3$

$I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)$

$I_3 = 0.09375I_0$

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.

Which of the following brain imaging techniques produce the most detailed picture of brain structure? (2 points)

Inga [223]

Answer:

MRI

Explanation:

Magnetic Resonance Imaging, furnishes the most detailed picture of brain structure. MRI produces the most point by point picture of the cerebrum. MRI examines by using attractive fields and radio waves to create PC produced pictures that recognize the structures inside the mind. It gives the most point by point and a detailed image of the brain structure.
