Answer:

Radio Waves:

Radio waves being the lowest-energy form of light and are known to be produced by electrons spiraling around magnetic fields. These Magnetic fields are generated by stars, including our sun, and many weird celestial objects like black holes and neutron stars.

Explanation:

All electromagnetic radiation is light, but we can only see a small portion of this radiation that is the portion we call visible light. Cone-shaped cells in our eyes act as receivers tuned to the wavelengths in this narrow band of the spectrum

Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this experiment. how well did the results compar

valkas [14]

The shortening velocity refers to the speed of the contraction from the muscle shortening while lifting a load. Maximal shortening velocity is only attained with a minimal load. With a light load, the shortening velocity is at its Maximal shortening velocity. When the weight is heavy, the speed in which the muscle lifts the weight decreases in speed at a slower velocity.

A ray of light traveling through air strikes a piece of diamond at an angle of incidence equal to 56 degrees. Calculate the angu

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

The angle of separation is $\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The angle of incidence is $\theta _ i = 56^o$

The refractive index of violet light in diamond is $n_v = 2.46$

The refractive index of red light in diamond is $n_r = 2.41$

The wavelength of violet light is $\lambda _v = 400nm = 400*10^{-9}m$

The wavelength of red light is $\lambda _r = 700nm = 700*10^{-9}m$

Snell's Law can be represented mathematically as

$\frac{sin \theta_i}{sin \theta_r} = n$

Where $\theta_r$ is the angle of refraction

=> $sin \theta_r = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n}$

Now considering violet light

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_v}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.46}$

$sin \theta_r__{v}} = 0.337$

$\theta_r__{v}} = sin ^{-1} (0.337)$

$\theta_r__{v}} = 19.69^o$

Now considering red light

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin \theta_i}{n_r}$

substituting values

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = \frac{sin (56)}{2.41}$

$sin \theta_r__{R}} = 0.344$

$\theta_r__{R}} = sin ^{-1} (0.344)$

$\theta_r__{R}} = 20.12^o$

The angle of separation between the red light and the violet light is mathematically evaluated as

$\Delta \theta = \theta_r__{R}} - \theta_r__{V}}$

substituting values

$\Delta \theta =20.12 - 19.69$

$\Delta \theta = 0.93 ^o$

Find the amount of force required to move an object of 1200 kg at a velocity of 54 km/hr?

Mkey [24]

Answer:

0 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of the object does not change, it is a constant 54 km/hr. When velocity does not change, acceleration is zero. Using the formula Force = mass x acceleration, we find:

mass = 1200 kg

acceleration = 0

F = (1200)(0) = 0
