The electromagnetic spectrum includes a continuous spectrum of wavelengths that include:

Radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays

The wavelength decreases from radio waves to gamma rays, whereas the energy increases along the same direction.

In the given example, radio waves have a lower energy and higher wavelength than visible light. The latter can be perceived by the human eye, whereas radio waves are not visible to the human eye.

1) They have colors = visible light

2) They can travel in a vacuum = both

3) They have energy = both

4) They’re used to learn about dust and gas clouds = radio waves

5) They’re used to find the temperature of stars = visible light

6)They’re invisible = radio waves

The site from which an airplane takes off is the origin. The X axis points east, the y axis points straight up. The position and

Contact [7]

Answer:

d = 3.5*10^4 m

Explanation:

In order to calculate the displacement of the airplane you need only the information about the initial position and final position of the airplane. THe initial position is at the origin (0,0,0) and the final position is given by the following vector:

$\vec{r}=(1.21*10^3\hat{i}+3.45*10^4\hat{j})m$

The displacement of the airplane is obtained by using the general form of the Pythagoras theorem:

$d=\sqrt{(x-x_o)^2+(y-y_o)^2}$ (1)

where x any are the coordinates of the final position of the airplane and xo and yo the coordinates of the initial position. You replace the values of all variables in the equation (1):

$d=\sqrt{(1.12*10^3-0)^2+(3.45*10^4-0)^2}=3.45*10^4m$

hence, the displacement of the airplane is 3.45*10^4 m

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz

igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The energy of the electron is $E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV$

The earths magnetic field is $B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T$

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

$\= F = q (\= v * \=B)$

On the first uploaded image is an illustration of the movement of the electron

Looking at the diagram we can see that in terms of direction the magnetic force is

$\= F =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)$

$= -(- (\r i * \r k))$

generally i cross k = -j

so the equation above becomes

$\= F = -(-(- \r j))$

$= - \r j$

This show that the direction is towards the south

A circuit contains a single 270-pf capacitor hooked across a battery. it is desired to store four times as much energy in a comb

yan [13]

The energy stored by a system of capacitors is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}C_{eq} V^2$
where Ceq is the equivalent capacitance of the system, and V is the voltage applied.

In the formula, we can see there is a direct proportionality between U and C. This means that if we want to increase the energy stored by 4 times, we have to increase C by 4 times, if we keep the same voltage.

Calling $C_1 = 270 pF$ the capacitance of the original capacitor, we can solve the problem by asking that, adding a new capacitor with $C_x$ , the new equivalent capacitance of the system $C_{eq}$ must be equal to $4C_1$ . If we add the new capacitance X in parallel, the equivalent capacitance of the new system is the sum of the two capacitance
$C_{eq} = C_1 + C_x$
and since Ceq must be equal to 4 C1, we can write
$C_1+C_x = 4C_1$
from which we find
$C_x=3C_1=3 \cdot 270 pF=810 pF$
