In your own words, explain why light can travel with or without a medium

Physics
1 answer:
Darya [45]3 years ago
7 0
I'm not really sure if it's completely right but I was taught that light can travel without a medium because light is composed of quanta called photons, and since it is a property of photons that they don't require a medium of transmission
( sorry if that doesn't make sense )

What happens to the gravitational potential energy between two particles if the distance between them is halved? (a) It does not
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).

Explanation:

The gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction that two objects with mass experience.

The Law of Universal Gravitation enunciated by Newton says that every material particle attracts any other material particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically this is expressed as:

F=G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r the distance between them and G a universal constant that receives  the name of constant of gravitation.

If the distance between two particles is reduced by half, then, where F' is the new value of the gravitational force:

F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{(\frac{r}{2} )^{2} }

F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{2^{2} } }

F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{4} }

F'=4*G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }

F'=4*F

Arthur conducts a controlled experiment several times. The results of each test show that his hypothesis is not supported. Which
sladkih [1.3K]

Hello. You did not inform the experiment that Arthur is conducting, which makes it impossible for your question to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

The hypothesis is an assumption that is made before the experiment is carried out. This hypothesis is formed with the observation of some phenomenon of nature where the researcher believes that two or more elements interact to form a result. In this case, the experiment is carried out to determine whether the assumption, that is, the hypothesis is false or true. In the event that an experiment determines that the hypothesis is false, two things may have occurred: (a) the experiment was set up, or analyzed incorrectly, (b) the elements tested have no relation to the observed phenomenon.

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood
Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>

We divide the electromagnetic spectrum into six major categories of light, listed below. Rank these forms of light from left to
makkiz [27]

electromagnetic spectrum is consisting of many frequency range which is from gamma rays to radio waves

they are of various wavelength and different energy levels

minimum wavelength will occurs at Gamma rays

and maximum wavelength at Radio waves

the list of increasing order of wavelength is as following

Gamma rays < X rays < Ultraviolet < Visible Light < Infrared Waves < Radio Waves

so least to maximum order is

1. Gamma rays

2. X rays

3 Ultraviolet

4 Visible light

5 Infrared waves

6 Radio waves
