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.

How can you increase the intensity of sound waves
VladimirAG [237]

Answer

The intensity of a sound wave depends on the pressure of the wave,density of the medium and speed of sound in the medium. Higher density and higher sound speed both give a lower intensity. and may be it is because that sound wave is more characterize by wavelength than frequency..explanation

Explanation:

As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater. Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.

A Person whose weight is 5.20 x 10^2 N is being pulledup
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of Person W=5.20\times 10^{2} N

Cave is h=35.1 m deep

Breaking stress T=569 N

Net Force on Person

F_{net}=569-520=49 N

a_{net}=\frac{F_{net}}{\frac{W}{g}}

a_{net}=\frac{49}{\frac{520}{9.8}}

a_{net}=0.923 m/s^2

The shortest time such that the person can be taken out of cave

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

h=distance moved

t=time

a=acceleration

35.1=0+\frac{1}{2}(0.923)(t)^2

t^2=76.05

t=\sqrt{76.05}

t=8.72\ s
