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

A wheel of radius R, mass M, and moment of inertia I is mounted on a frictionless, horizontal axles. A light cord wrapped around

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$\alpha =\frac{m*g*R}{I-m*R^2}$

$a = \frac{m*g*R^2}{I-m*R^2}$

$T=\frac{I*m*g}{I-m*R^2}$

Explanation:

By analyzing the torque on the wheel we get:

$T*R=I*\alpha$ Solving for T: $T=I/R*\alpha$

On the object:

$T-m*g = -m*a$ Replacing our previous value for T:

$I/R*\alpha-m*g = -m*a$

The relation between angular and linear acceleration is:

$a=\alpha*R$

So,

$I/R*\alpha-m*g = -m*\alpha*R$

Solving for α:

$\alpha =\frac{R*m*g}{I+m*R^2}$

The linear acceleration will be:

$a =\frac{R^2*m*g}{I+m*R^2}$

And finally, the tension will be:

$T =\frac{I*m*g}{I+m*R^2}$

These are the values of all the variables: α, a, T

Answer:

it will be d) 14.4W

Explanation:

potential difference (v) = 12 volts

resistance (r) = 10 ohms

now, we know

=》

$power = \frac{v {}^{2} }{r}$

=》

$power \: = \frac{12 {}^{2} }{10}$

=》

$power = \frac{144}{10}$

erica [24]

Answer:

Fuel oil is mixed with a proper portion of compressed air

Explanation:

A gas turbine has three main part, which are

combustion chamber
air compressor
power turbine

The combustion chamber is responsible for mixing fuel with a proper portion of compressed air.

The air compressor supplies air in sufficient quantity to satisfy the requirements of the combustion chamber

The power turbine produces the power to drive the air compressor.

Experiments using "optical tweezers" measure the elasticity of individual DNA molecules. For small enough changes in length, the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Spring constant, k = 0.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on DNA molecule, $F=1.5\ nN=1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N$

The molecule got stretched by 5 nm, $x=5\times 10^{-9}\ m$

Let k is the spring constant of that DNA molecule. It can be calculated using the Hooke's law. It says that the force acting on the spring is directly proportional to the distance as :

$F=-kx$

$k=\dfrac{F}{x}$

$k=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^{-9}\ N}{5\times 10^{-9}\ m}$

k = 0.3 N/m

So, the spring constant of the DNA molecule is 0.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.
