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 large, simple pendulum is on display in the lobby of the United Nations building. If the pendulum is 18.5 m in length, what is

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

t = 1,144 s

Explanation:

The simple pendulum consists of an inextensible string with a mass at the tip, the angular velocity of this is

w = √( L / g)

The angular velocity is related to the frequency and period

w = 2π f

f = 1 / T

w = 2π / T

Let's replace

2π / T = √ (L / g)

T = 2π √ (g / L)

Let's calculate

T = 2π √ (9.81 / 18.5)

T = 4,576 s

The definition of period in the time it takes the ball to come and go to a given point (a revolution) in our case we go from the end to the middle point that is a quarter of the path

t = T / 4

t = 4,576 / 4

t = 1,144 s

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source. If the intensity of illumination on a

emmasim [6.3K]

The intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125-foot candles.

<h3>What is the distance?</h3>

Distance is a numerical representation of the length between two objects or locations.

The intensity I of light varies inversely as the square of the distance D from the source;

I∝(1/D²)

The ratio of the intensity of the two cases;

$\rm \frac{I_1}{I_2} =(\frac{D_2}{D_1} )^2\\\\ \rm \frac{2}{I_2} =(\frac{20}{5} )^2\\\\ \frac{2}{I_2} =4^2 \\\\ I_2= \frac{2}{16} \\\\ I_2= 0.125 \ foot-candles$

Hence, the intensity on a screen 20 ft from the light will be 0.125 foot-candles
