Answer:

d. a large region outside Jupiter occupied by its magnetic field and filled with high-energy charged particles.

Explanation:

A magnetic field is generated by the movement of a charged particle in the space around it. For the case of Jupiter its magnetic field is created by the liquid metallic hydrogen in its core.

So the magnetosphere is just the magnetic field around a planet, which interacts with high-energy charged particles (for example: Cosmic Rays).

Magnetospheres protect planets from the extreme radiation coming from stars or another interstellar source.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

It took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.

Light propagates as electromagnetic wave in vacuum with a speed of $3x10^{8}m/s$ . Therefore, radio waves will have in vacuum the same speed.

Then, to know the time that it took for its voice, the next equation can be used:

$c = \frac{d}{t}$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

$t = \frac{d}{c}$ (2)

$t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}$

$t = 1.28s$

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Light is emitted by electrons when they drop from one energy level to a lower level. Which transition results in the emission of

natulia [17]

Answer:

Level 4 to level 2

Explanation:

Electrons in an atom are contained in specific energy levels (1, 2, 3, and so on) having different distances from the nucleus. When light is emitted by electrons from one energy level to a lower level, level 4 to level 2 has the greatest energy.

Hence, the correct option is "Level 4 to level 2".

Through which one of the following mediums is the velocity of a sound wave the greatest?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer: C. Steel

Explanation: When a sound wave travels through a solid body consisting

of an elastic material, the velocity of the wave is relatively

high. For instance, the velocity of a sound wave traveling

through steel (which is almost perfectly elastic) is about

5,060 meters per second. On the other hand, the velocity

of a sound wave traveling through an inelastic solid is

relatively low. So, for example, the velocity of a sound wave

traveling through lead (which is inelastic) is approximately

1,402 meters per second.
