What are some wave facts about science

Physics
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]3 years ago
7 0


waves are emitted by all objects but not visible to humans

the hotter the object, the more it emits

wave speed=frequency x wavelength

the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength.

the larger the amplitude, the greater the energy of the wave.

diffraction is when waves pass through a gap and spread out.

the longer the wavelength, the greater the diffraction.

electromagnetic waves transfer energy. examples are :gamma, x-ray, UV, visible light, infrared radiation, microwave and radio.


got these facts out of my physics book, hope they help :)

How much energy must be transferred out of the system as heat q to lower its temperature to 0∘c? express your answer numerically
serg [7]

Answer:

Incomplete question:

Refer to the temperature versus time graph when answering the questions in Parts C through F. A system consists of 250 of water. The system, originally at = 21.0 , is placed in a freezer, where energy is removed from it in the form of heat at a constant rate. The figure shows how the temperature of the system takes to drop to, after which the water freezes. Once the freezing is complete, the temperature of the resulting ice continues to drop, reaching temperature after an hour. The following specific heat and latent heat values for water may be helpful.

specific heat of ice (at ) = 2.10 J/g K

latent heat of fusion (ice to water phase change at ) = 333.7 J/g

specific heat of water (at ) = 4.186 J/g K

latent heat of vaporization (water to steam phase change at ) = 2256 J/g

specific heat of steam (at ) = 2.01 J/g K

Answers:

Qtotal = 237775 J

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to know that if the system is a single phase in which there is a temperature change or if it is a phase change at a single temperature. In the first case, the following formula would be used to calculate the amount of heat:

Q₁ = mCpΔT

Here

m is the mass = 250 g

Cp is the specific heat of ice = 2.1 J/g K

ΔT = 21 - 0 = 21°C = 294 K

In this case the amount of energy is

Q₁ = 250*2.1*294 = 154350 J

In the second case, where there is a phase change at a single temperature, the amount of heat is:

Q₂ = mLf

Here

Lf = latent heat of fusion (ice to water phase change) = 333.7 J/g

Substituting:

Q₂ = 250*333.7 = 83425 J

The total heat is:

Qtotal = 154350+83425=237775 J

PLEASE HELP! Explain how energy travels outward from the core and is emitted from the Sun. Include what happens in each layer of
xxMikexx [17]
Fusion occurs in the Sun's core, releasing energy that is transferred outward. Once in the radiative zone, gamma rays are transferred by radiation. They are converted to other types of photons, which move into the convective zone, where they are transferred by convection. Finally, energy is emitted from the photosphere.

An atom undergoes nuclear decay, but its atomic number is not changed.
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A. Gamma decay

Explanation:

A form of nuclear decay in which the atomic number is unchanged is a gamma decay.

The atom has undergone a gamma decay.

In a gamma decay, no changes occur to the mass and atomic number of the substance.

  • Gamma rays have zero atomic and mass numbers.
  • When they cause decay, they cause no change to the mass and atomic numbers.
  • They simply produce gamma rays during such reactions and these rays are very energetic.

If this atom has a balanced charged, how many protons would you expect to find in this atom?
avanturin [10]
The answer would be C because there is six electrons and so there will be six protons because the amount of protons and electrons have to be the same otherwise it would be an unbalanced particle and you wouldn't be able to touch the object it is in without worrying about something happening
