Answer:

100nm-280nm

Explanation:

Ultraviolet rays (UV) are part of the electromagnetic spectrum. It goes from 10nm to 400nm wavelengths, they are shorter than visible light, thus it's impossible to see by a human eye, and larger than X-rays (used in many medical applications and harmful when long-exposed).

According to its wavelengths, UV can be divided in different types:

UVA: long wave UV (315nm-400nm)

UVB: medium-wave UV (280nm-315nm)

UVC: short wave UV (100nm-280nm)

Therefore, UVC comprises wavelengths between 10nm and 280nm.

A solid object has a mass of 104 kg and a volume of 1,278 m3. What is its density?
MrMuchimi
The density is 81.4 g/m3. Before you start plugging numbers into the density formula (D=M/V), you should convert 104 kg to grams, which ends up being 104,000 grams. Then you can plug in the 104,000 grams and 1,278 m3 into the formula. When you divide the mass by the volume, you get a really long decimal, which you can round to 81.4 g/m3, or whatever place your teacher wants you to round to.

Sound waves with a constant frequency of 250 hertz are traveling through air at stp. what is the wavelength of the sound waves
Deffense [45]

Answer:

wave length is 1.2m

Explanation:

since formula of wave length is v/f

v(speed of sound in air at stp is 300ms^-1)

f(frequency 250hertz)

then wave length is 300÷250 which give 1.2m
