Answer:

Radio Wave

Micro Wave

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves composed by the perpendicular oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

EM waves have both Electrical and magnetic features.

they travel in the velocity of light (3*10⁸ ms⁻¹)

Electromagnetic spectrum is obtained according to their wave length and the frequency. Due to wave length range it's categorized. Here is the decreasing  order of wave length and increasing order  of different wave types in electromagnetic spectrum

  • Radio Wave
  • Micro Wave
  • IR wave
  • Light Wave
  • UV rays
  • X rays
  • Gamma rays
  • Cosmic rays

The moon has a diameter of 3.48 x 106 m and is a distance of 3.85 x 108 m from the earth. The sun has a diameter of 1.39 x 109 m
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.00903 rad

0.00926 rad

6.268\times 10^{-6}

Explanation:

s = Diameter of the object

r = Distance between the Earth and the object

Angle subtended is given by

\theta=\frac{s}{r}

For the Moon

\theta_m=\dfrac{3.48\times 10^6}{3.85\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \theta_m=0.00903\ rad

The angle subtended by the Moon is 0.00903 rad

For the Sun

\theta_s=\dfrac{1.39\times 10^9}{1.5\times 10^{11}}\\\Rightarrow \theta_s=0.00926\ rad

The angle subtended by the Sun is 0.00926 rad

Area ratio is given by

\frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{\pi r_m^2}{\pi r_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{d_m^2}{d_s^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=\dfrac{(3.48\times 10^{6})^2}{(1.39\times 10^9)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{A_m}{A_s}=6.268\times 10^{-6}

The area ratio is 6.268\times 10^{-6}

Star A and Star B have different apparent brightnesses but identical luminosities. Star A is 10 light years away from earth and
STALIN [3.7K]

intensity of a star is inversely depends on the square of the distance from the star

we can say it is given as

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

here we know that

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = 36 times

also we know that

r_1 = 10 Ly

now we will have

\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

36 = \frac{r_2^2}{10^2}

r_2 = 60 Ly

so other star is at distance 60 Light years
