Answer:

Explanation:

Gamma-rays have the smallest wavelengths and the most energy of any other wave in the electromagnetic spectrum. Gamma-rays can kill living cells, a fact which medicine uses to its advantage, using gamma-rays to kill cancerous cells. Also, industry (sterilization and disinfection) and the nuclear industry.

What can you say about the relationship between the index of refraction and the wavelength of a color?
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

There is a dependency relationship between the refractive index of each substance and the radiation wavelength.

The refractive index in a given medium is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a color.

For example:

The rays of the red color have a wavelength greater than the rays of the blue color, therefore they have a lower refractive index and consequently a light scattering less than the blue.

Snell's law :

n₂/n₁ = v₁/v₂ =  λ₁ /λ₂

*n: (refractive index)

v: (speed of light propagation)

λ: (wavelength)

Which sentence states Newton's second law?​
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time.

Explanation:

That situation is described by Newton's Second Law of Motion. According to NASA, this law states, "Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration." This is written in mathematical form as Force = mass.
