<h2>Right answer: infrared waves</h2>

Any body or object that has a temperature above absolute zero (0 Kelvin) emits infrared radiation (IR).

This type of radiation is not visible to the human eye, since its wavelengths are outside the visible spectrum (between 700 nm and 1 mm).

Infrared waves can be divided into:

- Near infrared or long wave infrared: it is the least sensitive to color and is easily absorbed by water.

- Medium or medium wave infrared: it is also insensitive to color and easily absorbed by water and many types of plastics and paints.

- Far infrared or short wave infrared: it is more penetrating than the long wave and is good for heating metals, these waves also can pass through clear materials.

It should be noted that infrared rays only cause an effect if they are absorbed. When this happens they become in thermal energy (heat).

IR light has many uses, including heating lamps in physiotherapy and medical treatments, heat sensing devices, among others.

What is the de Broglie wavelength for a proton with energy 50 keV? Due to the limitations of Canvas, please give the wavelength
ad-work [718]

Answer:

1.2826 x 10^-13 m

Explanation:

\lambda  = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2 m K}}

Here, k be the kinetic energy and m be the mass

K = 50 KeV = 50 x 1.6 x 10^-16 J = 80 x 10^-16 J

m = 1.67 x 10^-27 kg

\lambda  = \frac{6.63 \times  10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 1.67\times 10^{-27}\times 80\times 10^{-16}}}

λ = 1.2826 x 10^-13 m

A child swings on a playground swing. How many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the co
Karolina [17]
<h2>The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.</h2>

Explanation:

One period means time taken to complete one revolution.

In case of swings in one period time it travels the same position through two times.

Here we need to find how many times does the child swing through the swing's equilibrium position during the course of 3 period(s) of motion.

For 1 period = 2 times

For 3 periods = 3 x For 1 period

For 3 periods = 3 x 2 times

For 3 periods = 6 times

The child swing through the swing's equilibrium position 6 times during the course of 3 periods.

Eva8 [605]

When she starts out, he is (40x2.5)= 100 miles ahead of her.

She gains (65-40)= 25 miles on him every hour.

It takes her (100/25)= 4 hours to catch up to him.
