The longest wavelength is of the wave shown in figure B.

The greatest energy is of the wave shown in figure C.

The greatest frequency is of the wave shown in figure C.

The lowest amplitude is of the wave shown in figure A.

Further Explanation:

The electromagnetic waves have three basic properties and these basic properties of the electromagnetic waves determine its other properties like energy, strength etc.

Part 1:

Wavelength:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is the length of the one full oscillation of the wave about its equilibrium position.

Therefore, the above shown diagrams, the wave in the figure B has the maximum wavelength as it covers the maximum distance in completing its one oscillation about the equilibrium position.

Thus, the longest wavelength is of the wave shown in figure B.

Part 2:

Energy:

The energy associated with an electromagnetic wave is determined by the amplitude of oscillation of the wave about its equilibrium position.

The wave having higher amplitude of oscillation is considered to have higher energy and vice versa.

Thus, the greatest energy is of the wave shown in figure C.

Part 3: 

Frequency:

The frequency of an electromagnetic wave is the number of oscillations performed by the wave in one second while propagating through the medium.

The frequency of a wave is higher if it completes the more number of oscillations in the same time as compared to the other wave.

Thus, the greatest frequency is of the wave shown in figure C.

Part 4:

Amplitude:

The amplitude of oscillation of an electromagnetic wave is the maximum distance covered by the wave on one side of its equilibrium position.

In the above shown figure, the wave in the option A covers the minimum distance along the vertical axis about its equilibrium position.

Thus, the lowest amplitude is of the wave shown in figure A.

Explanation :

(1) Wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

In this case, the distance between two consecutive crests is maximum in B.

(2) The energy of the wave depends on its amplitude. In this case, C shows maximum amplitude. So, it will have greatest energy.

(3) number of cycles per unit time is called frequency of the wave. In this case, C will have maximum frequency.

(4) The amplitude of the wave is the maximum displacement of the particle. In this case, wave A have the lowest amplitude.

Hence, this is the required solution.

How do you do this problem?

kvasek [131]

Explanation:

First, find the velocity of the projectile needed to reach a height h when fired straight up.

Given:

Δy = h

v = 0

a = -g

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = v₀² + 2(-g)(h)

v₀ = √(2gh)

Now find the height reached if the projectile is launched at a 45° angle.

Given:

v₀ = √(2gh) sin 45° = √(2gh) / √2 = √(gh)

v = 0

a = -g

Find: Δy

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0)² = √(gh)² + 2(-g)Δy

2gΔy = gh

Δy = h/2

First, you will investigate purely vertical motion. The kinematics equation for vertical motion (ignoring air resistance) is giv

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

2.85 s .

Explanation:

y(t) = y(0) + v₀t + 1/2 gt²

y(t) is vertical displacement , y(0) is initial position , v₀ is initial velocity and t is time required to make vertical displacement and g is acceleration due to gravity.

Here y(0) is zero , v₀ = 14 m/s , g = 9.8 m s⁻² , y(t ) = 0 , as the pumpkin after time t comes back to its initial position, that is ground .

We shall take v₀ as negative as it is in upward direction and g as positive as it acts in downward direction

Put the values in the equation above,

0 = 0 - 14t + 1/2 x 9.8 t²

14 t = 1/2 x 9.8 t²

t = 28 / 9.8

t = 2.85 s .

Suppose you wanted to start a fire using sunlight and a mirror. Which of the following statements is most accurate? A) It would

Maru [420]

<h2>Answer: B) It would be best to use a concave mirror, with the object to be ignited positioned halfway between the mirror and its center of curvature. </h2>

Explanation:

To start a fire it is more optimal to use a concave mirror than a plane mirror. This is because the concave mirror allows concentrating sunlight at a point (the focal point) on an object that acts as fuel and ignite the fire there.

For this it is necessary the object to be positioned between the center of curvature of the mirror and the mirror (its focus). Thus the rays of the Sun, when converging on the focus, will heat the object and make it burn.

Hence, the correct option is B.

Why do astronomers use the astronomical unit to measure distance of the solar system?

Ivahew [28]

An astronomical unit is the measure of the center of the Earth to the center of the sun.

Because our solar system is so vast, using mere miles is ridiculous, because they are too small to be helpful and the numbers will be in the billions. Astronomical units make it easier to think in small amounts.

Hope this helps :)
