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).

A 4 kg mass is in free fall. What is the velocity of the mass after 11 seconds

Ksju [112]

Velocity of the mass after 11 seconds = ( value of the gravitational acceleration) * ( time )
velocity = ( 9.81 m / s^2 ) ( 11)
velocity = 107.91 meters per second

Why are the poles and slightly lower latitudes so cold in the summertime when they receive almost 24 hours of daylight? I know t

castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.

When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.

Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

$ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}$

$ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}$

At the same time we have that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}$

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

What happens when a mechanical wave travels through a medium?

Blizzard [7]

A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.[1] While waves can move over long distances, the movement of the medium of transmission—the material—is limited. Therefore, oscillating material does not move far from its initial equilibrium position. Mechanical waves transport energy. This energy propagates in the same direction as the wave. Any kind of wave (mechanical or electromagnetic) has a certain energy. Mechanical waves can be produced only in media which possess elasticity and inertia.
