Why is the electromagnetic spectrum called a spectrum?

Physics
1 answer:
Doss [256]3 years ago
6 0

Answer & Explanation:

Scientists call them all electromagnetic radiation. The waves of energy are called electromagnetic (EM) because they have oscillating electric and magnetic fields. Scientists classify them by their frequency or wavelength, going from high to low frequency (short to long wavelength).

A 12.0 kg rock slides off the edge of a bridge and falls into the water 25.0 meters below. what is the kinetic energy of the roc
Pavel [41]
During the fall, all the initial potential energy of the rock 
U=mgh
has converted into kinetic energy of motion
K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2
where h is the initial height of the rock, m its mass, and v its velocity just before hitting the water. So, for energy conservation, we have
U=K
and so we can find the value of K, the kinetic energy of the rock just before hitting the ground:
K=U=mgh = (12.0 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(25.0 m)=2943 J

A steady device in each cycle converts 155 J of work to thermal energy that is released into a reservoir at 340 K. Part A Calcul
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

change in entropy is 3.3034 × 10^{22}  

Explanation:

give data

thermal energy Q  = 155 J

temperature T = 340 K

to find out

change in entropy

solution

we know change in entropy formula that is

change in entropy = Q / ( K×T )   ..............1

here K is boltzmann constant that is 1.38 × 10^{-23} kg-m²/s²

put these value in equation 1 we get

change in entropy = Q / ( K × T )

change in entropy = 155 / (  1.38 × 10^{-23}  × 340 )

change in entropy = 3.3034 × 10^{22}  

so change in entropy is 3.3034 × 10^{22}

A man can row a boat at 4kmhr in still water. He rows the boat 2km upstream and 2 km back to his starting place in 2 hours. How
Softa [21]

Answer:

2.83km/hr

Explanation:

Let stream flowing at the rat x km/hr

In still water

Speed of boat=4km/hr

Upstream speed=4-x

Downstream speed=4+x

Total time=2 hr

Time=Distance/speed

According to question

\frac{2}{4+x}+\frac{2}{4-x}=2

\frac{8-2x+8+2x}{(4+x)(4-x)}=2

\frac{16}{4^2-x^2}=2

Using the formula

(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2

4^2-x^2=\frac{16}{2}

16-x^2=8

16-8=x^2

8=x^2

x=\sqrt{8}=2.83km/hr

Hence, the stream  is flowing at 2.83km/hr
