<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 150 kg boy and his bike are traveling 12 m/s when he slams on his breaks and stop at his friend’s house. How much impulse is r
Nataly [62]

Answer:

J = 1800 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a boy, m = 150 kg

Initial velocity of a boy, u = 12 m/s

Finally, it stops, v = 0

We need to find the impulse is required to produce this change in momentum. We know that impulse is equal to the change in momentum. So,

J=m(v-u)\\\\=150\times (0-12)\\\\=-1800\ kg-m/s\\\\|J|=1800\ kg-m/s

So, the impulse is equal to 1800 kg-m/s

Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy<br> True or False
Simora [160]

The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.
