Answer:

Infrared

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave.

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is a constant value:

$c=3.00\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Also, electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From highest to lowest frequency, we have:

gamma-rays $10^{20}-10^{24} Hz$

x-rays $10^{17}-10^{20}Hz$

ultraviolet $10^{15}-10^{17} Hz$

visible $[4-7.5]\cdot 10^{14} Hz$

infrared $10^{14} Hz$

microwaves $10^{11}-10^{13} Hz$

radio waves

Therefore, from the table we see that both infrared and visible light have higher frequency than microwaves, but lower frequency than UV (ultraviolet).

Jan ran 4 miles north in 28 minutes. What was Jan's average velocity?

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

3.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by Jan, d = 4 miles

1 mile = 1609.34 m

4 miles = 6437.38 m

Time, t = 28 minutes = 1680 s

Jan's average speed,

v = d/t

$v=\dfrac{6437.38\ \text{m}}{1680\ \text{s}}\\\\v=3.83\ \text{m/s}$

Hence, the average velocity of Jan is 3.83 m/s.

' A ' is one crest of the wave. After every wavelength, there's another one.

' B ' . . . the vertical arrow under B shows the amplitude of the wave

' C ' is one trough of the wave. After every wavelength, there's another one.

' D ' . . . the horizontal arrow over D shows the wavelength.

Liula [17]

<span>A gymnast with mass m1 = 43 kg is on a balance beam that sits on (but is not attached to) two supports. The beam has a mass m2 = 115 kg and length L = 5 m. Each support is 1/3 of the way from each end. Initially the gymnast stands at the left end of the beam.
1)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
2)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?
3)How much extra mass could the gymnast hold before the beam begins to tip?
Now the gymnast (not holding any additional mass) walks directly above the right support.

4)What is the force the left support exerts on the beam?
5)What is the force the right support exerts on the beam?</span>

A large spool in an electrician's workshop has 65 m of insulation-coated wire coiled around it. When the electrician connects a

Art [367]

Answer:

$40.34\ \text{m}$

Explanation:

$L_1$ = Length of wire = 65 m

$I_1$ = Initial current = 1.8 A

$I_2$ = Final current = 2.9 A

We know

$R\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

and

$R\propto L$

$\dfrac{V}{I}\propto L\\\Rightarrow L\propto \dfrac{1}{I}$

$\dfrac{L_2}{L_1}=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}L_1\\\Rightarrow L_2=\dfrac{1.8}{2.9}\times 65\\\Rightarrow L_2=40.34\ \text{m}$

The length of the wire remaining on the spool is $40.34\ \text{m}$ .

A capacitor is connected to an AC generator. As the generator's frequency is increased, what happens to the current in the capac

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

The current increases.

Explanation:

A capacitor can be defined as an electronic component used in electrical circuits to store charge temporarily.

A capacitor is connected to an AC generator. As the generator's frequency is increased, the current in the capacitor increases as well.

This ultimately implies that, when a capacitor is connected to an AC generator, the frequency of the circuit is directly proportional to the amount of current flowing through it.
