<span>UV waves are higher frequency and carry more energy causing exposure to UV waves in sunlight to skin cancer. This is a type of electromagnetic radiation similar to the waves of the radio, infrared, x-rays and gamma. All of which comes from the sun however cannot be seen by a human eye. People use these rays for tanning however if it is overdone, it may cause skin problems.</span>

The correct answer is
<span>B) UV waves are higher frequency and carry more energy. 

In fact, UV waves have higher frequency than visible light. For comparison, visible light has frequency in the range 430-770 THz (</span>10^{12} Hz)<span>, while ultraviolets (UV) have frequency higher than these values (at the order of 1 PHz, </span>1\cdot 10^{15}Hz).

The energy of electromagnetic radiation is proportional to its frequency, according to the equation
E=hf
where h is the Planck constant and f is the frequency. We see that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy, so UV waves carry more energy than visible light.

A ‘thermal tap’ used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which
abruzzese [7]

Correct question is;

A thermal tap used in a certain apparatus consists of a silica rod which fits tightly inside an aluminium tube whose internal diameter is 8mm at 0°C.When the temperature is raised ,the fits is no longer exact. Calculate what change in temperature is necessary to produce a channel whose cross-sectional is equal to that of the tube of 1mm. (linear expansivity of silica = 8 × 10^(-6) /K and linear expansivity of aluminium = 26 × 10^(-6) /K).

Answer:

ΔT = 268.67K

Explanation:

We are given;

d1 = 8mm

d2 = 1mm

At standard temperature and pressure conditions, the temperature is 273K.

Thus; Initial temperature; T1 = 273K,

Using the combined gas law, we have;

P1×V1/T1 = P2×V2/T2

The pressure is constant and so P1 = P2. They will cancel out in the combined gas law to give:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Now, volume of the tube is given by the formula;V = Area × height = Ah

Thus;

V1 = (πd1²/4)h

V2 = (π(d2)²/4)h

Thus;

(πd1²/4)h/T1 = (π(d2)²/4)h/T2

π, h and 4 will cancel out to give;

d1²/T1 = (d2)²/T2

T2 = ((d2)² × T1)/d1²

T2 = (1² × T1)/8²

T2 = 273/64

T2 = 4.23K

Therefore, Change in temperature is; ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT = 273 - 4.23

ΔT = 268.67K

Thus, the temperature decreased to 268.67K

What happens if two black holes collide
blagie [28]

When two black holes spiral around each other and ultimately collide, they send out gravitational waves - ripples in space and time that can be detected with extremely sensitive instruments on Earth. ... If confirmed, it would be the first known light flare from a pair of colliding black holes.

What are possible formulas for impulse? Check all that apply. J = Fdeltat J = StartFraction force over change in time EndFractio
Alex

<u>The possible formulas for impulse are as follows:</u>

J = FΔt

J = mΔv

J = Δp

Answer: Option  A, E and F

<u>Explanation:</u>

The quantity which explains the consequences of a overall force acting on an object (moving force) is known as impulse. It is symbolised as J. When the average overall force acting on an object than such products are formed and in given duration than the start fraction force over change in time end fraction J = FΔt.

The impulse-momentum theorem explains that the variation in momentum of an object is same as the impulse applied to it: J = Δp J = mΔv if mass is constant J = m dv + v dm if mass changes. Logically, the impulse-momentum theorem is equivalent to Newton second laws of motion which is also called as force law.
