From largest to shortest wavelength:

Radio waves, Microwaves, Infrared radiation, Red visible, Orange visible, Yellow visible, Green visible, Blue visible, Violet visible, Ultraviolet, X-rays, Gamma rays

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum, and in a vacuum they always at the same speed, the speed of light, equal to:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From slongest to shortest wavelength, they are ranked as follows:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Visible light

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

Visible light is the only part of the spectrum that the human eye is able to see. Depending on the wavelength of the visible light, we perceive the radiation as a different color. In order from longest to shortest wavelength, colors are:

Red

Orange

Yellow

Green

Blue

Indigo

Violet

Therefore, the correct order from largest to shortest wavelength in the given list is:

Radio waves

Microwaves

Infrared radiation

Red visible

Orange visible

Yellow visible

Green visible

Blue visible

Violet visible

Ultraviolet

X-rays

Gamma rays

3.Three resistors of 25.0Ω, 30.0Ω, and 40.0Ω are in a series circuit with a 6.0-volt battery. What is the current in the circuit

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Current = 0.063 Amperes

Explanation:

Let the three resistors be R1, R2, and R3 respectively.

Given the following data;

R1 = 25.0Ω,

R2 = 30.0Ω

R3 = 40.0Ω

Voltage = 6 Volts

First of all, we would determine the equivalent or total resistance;

Total resistance (in series) = R1 + R2 + R3

Total resistance = 25.0Ω + 30.0Ω + 40.0Ω

Total resistance = 95 Ω

Next, we find the current flowing through the circuit;

Voltage = current * resistance

Substituting into the formula, we have;

6 = current * 95

Current = 6/95

Current = 0.063 Amperes

The actual depth of a shallow pool 1.00 m deep is not the same as the apparent depth seen when you look straight down at the poo

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

d' = 75.1 cm

Explanation:

It is given that,

The actual depth of a shallow pool is, d = 1 m

We need to find the apparent depth of the water in the pool. Let it is equal to d'.

We know that the refractive index is also defined as the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth. Let the refractive index of water is 1.33. So,

$n=\dfrac{d}{d'}\\\\d'=\dfrac{d}{n}\\\\d'=\dfrac{1\ m}{1.33}\\\\d'=0.751\ m$

d' = 75.1 cm

So, the apparent depth is 75.1 cm.

Two electrons in a vacuum exert force of F = 3.8E-09 N on each other. They are then moved such that they are separated by x = 8.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

d = 1.20682E-31 m

Explanation:

F = 3.8E-09 N

where

m = Mass of electron = 9.109E−31 kilograms

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 m³/kgs²

x = Distance between them

$F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow 3.8E-09=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}$

For $F_n$

$F_n=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{(8.2x)^2}\\\Rightarrow F_n=G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}$

Dividing the above equations we get

$\frac{F}{F_n}=\frac{G\frac{m^2}{x^2}}{G\frac{m^2}{67.24x^2}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F}{F_n}=67.24\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{F}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=\frac{3.8E-09}{67.24}\\\Rightarrow F_n=5.65E-11\ N$

F_n = 5.65E-11 N

$F=G\frac{m^2}{x^2}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{Gm^2}{F}}\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{G}{F}}m\\\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{\frac{6.67E-11}{3.8E-09}}9.109E-31\\\Rightarrow x=1.20682E-31\ m$

d = 1.20682E-31 m

Formulating a Hypothesis: Part I Since the investigative question has two variables, you need to focus on each one separately. T

Westkost [7]

Answer : The kinetic energy depends directly on the mass of a particle.

Explanation :

We know that the kinetic energy of any particle is given by :

$KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Where,

m is the mass of an object.

v is the velocity with which it is moving

Kinetic energy is due to the motion of the particle.

So, the kinetic energy of a particle is directly proportional to its mass.

Hence, the conclusion of the question is if the mass of a particle is increases then its kinetic energy also increase.

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes

Iteru [2.4K]

In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.
