What color of light has the shortest wavelength

Physics
1 answer:
Elina [12.6K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Violet

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consists of oscillating electric and magnetic fields that vibrate in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (for this reason, these waves are also called transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves are generally invisible to human eye, apart from a very small portion of it, called visible light.

Waves in the visible part of the spectrum appear to us as a different color, depending on their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:

Violet (380-450 nm)

Blue (450-495 nm)

Green (495-570 nm)

Yellow (570-590 nm)

Orange (590-620 nm)

Red (620-750 nm)

So we see that violet is the color with shortest wavelength.

7. A 1.0 kg metal head of a geology hammer strikes a solid rock with a velocity of 5.0 m/s. Assuming all the energy is retained
marta [7]

The increase in temperature of the metal hammer is 0.028 ⁰C.

The given parameters:

  • <em>mass of the metal hammer, m = 1.0 kg</em>
  • <em>speed of the hammer, v = 5.0 m/s</em>
  • <em>specific heat capacity of iron, 450 J/kg⁰C</em>

The increase in temperature of the metal hammer is calculated as follows;

Q = K.E\\\\mc \Delta T = \frac{1}{2}  mv^2\\\\\Delta T = \frac{v^2}{2 c}

where;

<em>c is the </em><em>specific heat capacity</em><em> of the metal hammer</em>

<em />

Assuming the metal hammer is iron, c = 450 J/kg⁰C

\Delta T = \frac{5^2}{2 \times 450} \\\\\Delta T = 0.028 \ ^0C

Thus, the increase in temperature of the metal hammer is 0.028 ⁰C.

A 15g bullet is shot into a 5085g wooden block standing on a frictionless surface. The block, with the bullet in it, acquires a
kaheart [24]

To develop this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. For this purpose, the initial momentum will be equivalent to the initial momentum of the two objects when they have the same speed. Mathematically this can be expressed as,

m_bv_b + m_wv_w = (m_b+m_w)v

Where,

m_b = Mass of bullet

v_b= Velocity of bullet

m_w= Mass of wooden block

v_w =Velocity of Wooden block

Inititally v_w = 0 then we have that the expression can be rearrange to find the velocity of the bullet,

v_b = \frac{(m_b+m_w)v}{m_b}

Replacing with our values

v_b = \frac{(15+5085)(0.94)}{15}

v_b = 319.6m/s

Therefore the velocity of the bullet before striking the block is 319.6m/s

A car drives at a constant speed of 21 m/s around a circle of radius 100 m.
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Option D. 4.4 m/s²

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Velocity (v) = 21 m/s

Radius (r) = 100 m

Centripetal acceleration (a) =.?

The centripetal acceleration of the car can be obtained as follow:

Centripetal acceleration (a) = Velocity square (v²) / radius (r)

a = v²/r

a = 21²/100

a = 441/100

a = 4.41 ≈ 4.4 m/s²

Therefore, the centripetal acceleration of the car is 4.4 m/s².

Should the kinetic coefficient of friction and the static coefficient change with a different mass
dusya [7]

Explanation:

No. Surface contact area also no. The main issue is the types of materials in contact. Surface roughness somewhat matters. Certain surfaces such as ice are special in that pressure melts the ice.
