Which wave has a higher frequency than microwaves but lower frequency than UV waves?

Physics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
3 0

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).

What do you know about potential energy? And how do we use it?
Liula [17]
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. There are basically two main types of energy, kinetic and potential. Potential energy is energy that is stored. There are various types of stored, or potential energy. Chemical energy from a battery is a potential form of energy, elastic energy in a stretched rubber band is a form of potential energy, but the most commonly referred to form of potential energy in physics is that of gravitational potential energy. This is energy that is stored due to an object's position. It is dependent on the mass of the object, the height of the object above the ground or Earth, and the acceleration due to gravity.

A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is ________
Oxana [17]
A silica-rich igneous rock that has large crystals and makes up much of the continental crust is called granite. These rocks are usually pink, gray or white  in color depending on the minerals found on the rock. Generally, granite would have a range of 20% to 60% by volume of quartz and a minimum of 35% feldspar. This rock is a result from  volcanic arcs and from the collision of continental masses. Due to its abundance, it has been used in a number of applications. It is used as an aggregate and filler in roading and construction industries. It is also cut and polished to be used in foyers, building facings, bench counters and tops.
