Which part of the electromagnetic spectrum have the highest level of photon energy

1 answer:

4 0

The energy carried by one photon is directly proportional to its
frequency. So the photon energy is greatest for the electromagnetic
waves with the highest frequency / shortest wavelengths.

That's why when you get past visible light and on up through ultraviolet,
X-rays, and gamma rays, the radiation becomes dangerous ==> each
photon carries enough energy to tear electrons away from their atoms,
ripping molecules apart and damaging cells.

The photon with the highest energy is a gamma-ray photon.

How can you find the mass of a tissue box?

a_sh-v [17]

Explanation:

To find the volume of a box of Tissue (also known as a rectangular prism) just multiply the area of the base (length times width) by the height. The formula is V = l• w• h.

ball A of mass 5.0 kg moving at 20 meters per second collides with ball B of unknown mass moving at 10. meters per second in the

antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

Explanation;

Mass of ball A = $M_A=5 kg$

Velocity of the ball A before collision: $U_A=20 m/s$

Velocity of ball A after collision= $V_A=10 m/s$

Mass of ball B= $M_B$

Velocity of the ball B before collision: $U_B=10 m/s$

Velocity of ball B after collision= $V_B=15 m/s$

$M_AV_A+M_BV_B=M_AU_A+M_BU_B$

$5 kg\times 10 m/s+M_B\times 15=5 kg\times 20m/s+M_B\times 10m/s$

$M_B=10kg$

The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

A book is sliding along a desk top. Because the book is in motion ,you know that the forces acting on the book are A. Balanced B

Virty [35]

Just because the book is moving doesn't tell you anything about the forces on it, or even whether there ARE any.

Just look at Newton's first law of motion, and this time, let's try and THINK about it too. It says something to the effect that any object continues in constant, uniform MOTION ..... UNLESS acted on by an external force.
