Answer: The answer is "C"

Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves are arranged in the increasing wavelength and energy by the following order;

Radio waves has the lowest energy and wavelength but of the highest frequency.

The Infra-red rays follows the visible light follows, the ultraviolet ray follows, the X-ray follows and then the Gamma-ray has the highest energy and wavelength but the lowest frequency.

Therefore the answer is C, radio, infra, visible, ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma.

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are categorized in terms of their wavelengths and frequency. This categorization is known as the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

When they are arranged in terms of increasing frequency, their wavelengths are decreasing. This is because wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional.

Since energy and frequency are directly proportional, increasing frequency would mean increasing energy.

In terms of increasing energy, the correct order is:

Radio waves

Infrared

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X rays

Gamma rays

A 65.0 kg skier slides down a 37.20 slope with mu = 0.107.<br><br>What is the friction force?
zmey [24]

Answer:

54.3N

Explanation:

The normal force is perpendicular to the slope, so:

Normal Force = cos(37.2)(9.8*65).......507.39N

F(friction)=mu*F(normal)

F(friction)=(0.107)(507.39)

F(friction)=54.3N

A series circuit contains a 9-volt battery, a 3-ohm resistor and a 2-ohm resistor. What is the voltage drop across the 2-ohm res
BARSIC [14]
Since everything in the circuit is in series .. .

-- The total resistance is  (3 + 2) = 5 ohms.

-- The voltage across the 3-ohm resistor is 3/5 of the total voltage.

-- The voltage across the 2-ohm resistor is 2/5 of the total voltage.

                  (2/5) of (9 volts)  =  18/5  =  3.6 volts .

determine the maximum angle theta for which the light rays incident on the end of the optical fiber of radius 1 mm are subhect t
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the critical angle be C .

sinC = 1 / μ where μ is index of refraction .

sinC = 1 /1.2

= .833

C = 56°

Then angle of refraction r = 90 - 56 = 34 ( see the image in attached file )

sin i / sinr = 1.2 , i is angle of incidence

sini = 1.2 x sinr = 1.2 x sin 34 = .67

i = 42°.
