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

Suppose an asteroid had an orbit with a semimajor axis of 4 au. how long would it take for it to orbit once around the sun?
Nitella [24]

It would take <u> 8 years </u> for the asteroid to orbit once around the sun.

What is a semimajor axis?

  • In geometry, the major axis of an ellipse is its longest diameter: a line segment that runs through the center and both foci, with ends at the two most widely separated points of the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis (major semiaxis) is the longest semidiameter or one half of the major axis, and thus runs from the centre, through a focus, and to the perimeter.
  • The semi-major axis of a hyperbola is, depending on the convention, plus or minus one half of the distance between the two branches.
  • Thus it is the distance from the center to either vertex of the hyperbola.
  • In astronomy, the semi-major axis is one of the most important orbital elements of an orbit, along with its orbital period.
  • For Solar System objects, the semi-major axis is related to the period of the orbit by Kepler's third law.

Over 4 seconds, a car's momentum decreases by 1000 kg m/s how much force did it take to make this happen?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 4s

Momentum  = 1000kgm/s

Unknown:

Force  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion;

      Ft  = Momentum

F is the force

t is the time

So;

          F x 4 = 1000kgm/s

          F  = 250N
