Two of the types of ultraviolet light, uva and uvb, are both components of sunlight. their wavelengths range from 320 to 400 nm

for uva and from 290 to 320 nm for uvb. compare the energy of microwaves, uva, and uvb. rank from greatest to least energy per photon. to rank items as equivalent, overlap them.

In light energy, the higher the frequency, the greater the energy a light contain.

We know for a certain that frequency is just the reciprocal of wavelength:

frequency = 1 / wavelength

Calculating for frequencies:

f UVA = 1/320 to 1/400

f UVA = 0.0031 to 0.0025

 

f UVB = 1/290 to 1/320

f UVB = 0.0034 to 0.0031

Since UVB has higher frequency range, then it has higher energy than UVA.

Answer:

uvb > uva > microwaves

Explanation:

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is

E =\frac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

h is the Planck's constant

c is the speed of light and

\lambda is the frequency

So we can understand that the energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength

The wavelengths are

1. microwaves - 1 mm - 1m

2. uva - 320 - 400 nm

3. uvb - 290 - 320 nm

So with the smallest wavelength the uvb has the greatest energy

and the microwave has least amount of energy with the largest wavelength range

so the answer is uvb > uva > microwaves

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.

When the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle lands on the moon it comes to a stop 10m above the surface of the moon. The last 10m it fr
Scrat [10]

Answer:

i) 3.514 s, ii) 5.692 m/s

Explanation:

i) We can use Newton's second law of motion to find out how long does it take for the Eagle to touch down.

as the equation says for free-falling

h = ut +0.5gt^2

Here, h = 10 m, g = acceleration due to gravity = 1.62 m/s^2( on moon surface)

initial velocity u = 0

10 = 0.5×1.62t^2

t = 3.514 seconds

Therefore, it takes t = 3.514 seconds for the Eagle to touch down.

ii) use Newton's 1st equation of motion to calculate the velocity of the lunar module when it hits the surface of the moon

v = u + gt

v = 0+ 1.62×3.514

v= 5.692 m/s
