Based on your knowledge of the electromagnetic spectrum, why are radio waves considered harmless while ultraviolet waves and x-r

ays considered harmful?
A) Radio waves have longer wavelengths, lower frequency, and lower energy than ultraviolet waves and x-rays.
B) Lower energy and higher frequency ultraviolet waves and x-rays is enough to break bonds and damage cells.
C) High frequency and energy of radio waves mean that they penetrate much farther through matter than uv or x-rays.
D) The energy of the lower frequency ultraviolet waves and x-rays is high enough to be considered ionizing radiation.

This is a very poorly written question.  The more you try to
discuss it, the more confusing and misleading it becomes.

The answer it's fishing for is 'A', and I think I'll leave it right there.

The correct answer of this question is : A) Radio waves have longer wavelengths, lower frequency, and lower energy than ultraviolet waves and x-rays.

EXPLANATION :

Before going to answer this question, first we have to know the electromagnetic spectrum.

Electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of electromagnetic waves in the ascending order of frequency or descending order of wavelength.

When the waves are arranged in the ascending order of their frequency, then perfect order is given below as such -

Radio wave < Micro wave <  Infrared wave <   Visible light < U.V ray<  X-ray < Gamma ray .

Hence, we see that radio wave has the least frequency, and gamma ray has the most frequency.

We know that wavelength and frequency are inversely are inversely proportional to each other. Hence, radio wave has more wavelength and less frequency.

The wave having more frequency is more energetic. Hence, gamma is more energetic and radio wave is less energetic .

The planet of an item will remain constant across the planet, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant.

<h3 /><h3>What is the difference between mass and weight?</h3>

The mass of the body is defined as the amount of matter a body has. It is denoted by m and its unit is kg. Mass is the quantity on which a lot of physical quantity depends.

Weight is defined as the amount of force an object exerts on the surface. It is given as the product of mass and the gravitational pull.

Mass is an independent quantity it never depends on the other. While weight is a dependent quantity that depends upon the gravitational pull.

The value of gravitational pull is different in the different parts of the universe. For example, on the earth, the value of gravitational acceleration is 9.81 m/sec².While on the moon it is g/6.

Weight is change according to the place or surrounding while the mass of the body is constant everywhere.

The planet of an item will remain constant across the cosmos, but if you give it more mass, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration of gravity remains constant.

If a planet's gravity weakens, the weight of that planet will likewise be altered. With an increase in mass, weight also rises.

Hence, the gravitational force increases while the acceleration due to gravity remains constant for the given case.

Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as:Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

What is the magnetic force on a proton that is moving at 4.5 x 10^7 m/s to the right through a magnetic field that is 1.6 T and
Agata [3.3K]
The magnetic force on a charged particle is given as: F = qvBsinФ
B is the magnetic field.
q is the charge on the particle.
v is the velocity of the charged particle.
 Ф is the angle between magnetic field (B) & the velocity of charge (v).


⇒ F = qvb sin Ф

Here, Ф = 90 degree.
and sin 90 = 1
Putting the values in the equation, we get,

F = 1.6 x 10^-19 C × 4.5 × 10^7 m/s × 1.6 T
= 11.52 × 10^-12N
= 1.2 x 10^-11 N up

A beam of light strikes a sheet of glass at an angle of 56.6° with the normal in air. You observe that red light makes an angle
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a). Index of refraction are n_{red} = 1.344 & n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). The velocity of red light in the glass v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

The velocity of violet light in the glass v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

We know that

Law of reflection is

n_1 \sin\theta_{1} = n_2 \sin\theta_{2}

Here

\theta_1 = angle of incidence

\theta_2 = angle of refraction

(a). For red light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{red} × \sin 38.4

n_{red} = 1.344

For violet light

1 × \sin 56.6 = n_{violet} × \sin 36.4

n_{violet} = 1.406

(b). Index of refraction is given by

n = \frac{c}{v}

n_{red} = 1.344

v_{red} = \frac{c}{n_{red} }

v_{red} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.344}

v_{red} = 2.23 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of red light in the glass.

The velocity of violet light in the glass is given by

v_{violet} = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{1.406}

v_{violet} =2.13 ×10^{8} \ \frac{m}{s}

This is the velocity of violet light in the glass.

An electric heater supplies 5kw of power to atank of water assume all the energy supplied is converted into heat energy and the
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

<em>8hours 45minutes</em>

Explanation:

Amount of heat energy used up by the electric substance = heat gained by the water.

Amount of heat energy used up by the electric substance = Power * Time

heat gained by the water. = mcΔt

m is the mass of the water in kg

c is the specific heat capacity

Δt is the change in temperature

Given parameters

Power = 5kW = 5000W

mass of water m = 500kg

c = 4200J/kgC

Δt = 100°C - 25°C = 75°C

Required

Time taken

Substituting the given parameters into the formula

Pt = mcΔt

5000t = 500*4200*75

5000t = 157,500,000

Divide both sides by 5000

t =  157,500,000/5000

t = 31,500 secs

t = (31,500/3600)hrs

t = 8.75hours

t = 8hours 45minutes

<em>Hence it takes 8hours 45minutes to heat 500 kg of water in the tank from 25c to 100c</em>
