Answer:

Gamma rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays is at the end of the electromagnetic spectrum, and has the highest energy. It propagates through space at 3x10^8 m/s and has the smallest wavelength and the highest frequency. It is given off by atoms of element as they undergo nuclear disintegration.

Answer:

Gamma radiation carries the most energy since it has the highest frequency.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are waves which do not require material medium for their propagation and they are arranged in electromagnetic spectrum according to their increasing frequency and decreasing wavelength or decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength.

Examples of Electromagnetic radiations, in terms of decreasing frequency and increasing wavelength:

Gamma rays > x-ray > ultraviolet ray > visible light > infrared > micro waves > radio waves

Energy of wave is related to frequency using the following formula:

E = hf

where:

h is Planck's constant and

f is frequency of the wave

From the illustration above, gamma radiation carries the most energy since it has the highest frequency.

A 1250 kg car, driving 7.39 m/s, runs into the back of a stationary 5380 kg truck. After the collision, the truck moves forward

Leno4ka [110]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m₁ = 1250 kg

Initial speed of the car, u₁ = 7.39 m/s

Mass of the truck, m₂ = 5380 kg

It is stationary, u₂ = 0

Final speed of the truck, v₂ = 2.3 m/s

Let v₁ is the final velocity of the car. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$1250\times 7.39+5380\times 0=1250\times v_1+5380\times 2.3$

$v_1=-2.5\ m/s$

So, the final velocity of the car is 2.5 m/s but in opposite direction. Hence, this is the required solution.

"Compared to infrared radiation, does ultraviolet radiation have longer or shorter wavelengths? Does ultraviolet radiation have

balu736 [363]

Answer:Ultraviolet radiation has shorter wavelengths and higher energy than infrared radiation.

Explanation: Electromagnetic radiation radiations which have both electrical and magnetic properties,they can be transmitted through space or through a medium.

It includes Gamma radiation, infra-red, visible light, Ultraviolet radiation etc they occur with different wavelength, the lower the wavelength the higher the Energy dissipated per photon. According to their order of decreasing wavelength and increased energy they are classified as follows.

RADIO WAVE, MICRO WAVE, INFRA-RED, VISIBLE LIGHT, ULTRAVIOLET RAY, X-RAY, GAMMA RAYS.
