Answer : Cat will reach tree first.

Explanation :

It is given that,

Total distance between dog and tree is 30 yards. The cat has 10 yards lead. So, the distance between cat and tree is 20 yards.

Speed of cat  is 6 Yards/ sec.

Speed of dog is 8 Yards/sec.

speed of cat is, S_c=\dfrac{distance\ covered\ by\ cat}{time\ taken}

6\ Yards/sec=\dfrac{20\ Yards}{t_c}

t_c=3.33\ sec

Now, speed of dog is, S_d=\dfrac{distance\ covered\ by\ dog}{time\ taken}

8\ Yards/sec=\dfrac{30\ yards}{t_d \ sec}

t_d=3.75\ sec

It is clear that, cat is taking less time as compared with dog. So, the cat will reach tree first.

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?
klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.

PLEASE HELP ASAP 36. The Doppler Effect applies to light in addition to sound. What do you call the phenomenon that causes dista
skad [1K]

Answer:

It's probably the Redshift and Blueshift

Explanation:

The light shifting towards shorter or longer wavelengths as objects in space (stars or galaxies) move closer or farther away from us. This phenomenon is known as the Redshifts and Blueshifts. The concept indicates us that the Universe is expanding.

Hope this helps you!

Answer:

Perform a simple test of the material in the pan to assess whether it is real gold. Raw gold appears brassy yellow and bright. If you think it is gold, place your hand between it and the sun to create shade over the gold. If it still appears bright in the pan, chances are that it is real gold.
