What type of wave has more energy, an ultraviolet wave or an x-ray?

Physics
1 answer:
muminat3 years ago
3 0
As the wave length increases the energy of the wave decreases as the equation that relates the c=λυ λ is the wave length and υ is the frequency (which is directly proportional to the energy).
In the wave length spectrum, x-ray has a shorter wave length, meaning that x-ray has a higher energy than ultraviolet waves.

Hope this helps.

Which requires more work, lifting a 10.0kg load a vertical distance of 2m or lifting a 5.0kg load a distance of 4m?
Minchanka [31]

For each load,  Work = (mass) x (gravity) x (distance .

Bigger load:      Work = (10 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (2 m) = 196 joules .

Smaller load:    Work = (5 kg)  x  (9.8 m/s²)  x  (4 m) = 196 joules.

The work required is equal in both cases.

The mass ratio of  2:1  is exactly balanced by
the height ratio of  1:2 .

Explain the change of frequency of the wave if the tension of the string is increased​
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

Increasing the tension on a string increases the speed of a wave, which increases the frequency (for a given length). Pressing the finger at different places changes the length of string, which changes the wavelength of standing wave, affecting the frequency.

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately.  Which  means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.  

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:
