What color of light has the shortest wavelength

Physics

1 answer:

Elina [12.6K]3 years ago

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.

A ball rolls for 8 seconds and travels 24 meters. How fast was it traveling?

belka [17]

Answer:

The speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The time period of the ball, t = 8 s

The distance the ball rolled, d = 24 m

The velocity of an object is defined as the object's displacement to the time taken. The formula for the velocity is,

v = d / t m/s

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

v = 24 / 8

= 3 m/s

Hence, the speed of the ball was, v = 3 m/s

What is the highest temperature ever recorded on earth

Llana [10]

Therefore the world's record high temperature of 134.0°F (56.7°C) is held by Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley, California. That global high temperature was attained on July 10, 1913.

Two planets A and B, where B has twice the mass of A, orbit the Sun in elliptical orbits. The semi-major axis of the elliptical

lozanna [386]

Answer:

2.83

Explanation:

Kepler's discovered that the square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit, that is called Kepler's third law of planet motion and can be expressed as:

$T=\frac{2\pi a^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\sqrt{GM}}$ (1)

with T the orbital period, M the mass of the sun, G the Cavendish constant and a the semi major axis of the elliptical orbit of the planet. By (1) we can see that orbital period is independent of the mass of the planet and depends of the semi major axis, rearranging (1):

$\frac{T}{a^{\frac{3}{2}}}=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{GM}}$

$\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}=(\frac{2\pi }{\sqrt{GM}})^2$ (2)

Because in the right side of the equation (2) we have only constant quantities, that implies the ratio $\frac{T^{2}}{a^{3}}$ is constant for all the planets orbiting the same sun, so we can said that:

$\frac{T_{A}^{2}}{a_{A}^{3}}=\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{a_{B}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}^{2}}{T_{A}^{2}}=\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{a_{B}^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}=\sqrt{\frac{(2a_{A})^{3}}{a_{A}^{3}}}$

$\frac{T_{B}}{T_{A}}=\sqrt{\frac{2^3}{1}}=2.83$

A 0.60 kg rubber ball has a speed of 2.0 m/s at point A, and kinetic energy of 7.5 J at point

aliina [53]

<span>Let's first off calculate the kinetic energy using the formula 1/2MV^2. Where the mass, M, is 0.6Kg. And speed, V, is 2. Hence we have 1/2 * 0.6 * 2^2 = 1.2J. Since kinetic energy is energy due to motion; hence at point B the rubber has a KE of 1.2J and not 7.5J. So I would say that only the Mass and speed is actually true; While it's kinetic energy is not true.</span>
