All observers measure the same speed of light,
no matter how any observer is moving.

The question is kind of awkward, though.  It seems to say that
people were having a hard time accepting this postulate of relativity,
until Michelson and Morley came along and did their experiment, and
their results gave Relativity a boost.

Actually, Michelson and Morley did their famous experiment in 1887.
At the time, Einstein was only 8 years old, and Relativity was not even
a twinkle in his eye yet.

Zanzabum

Answer: find the answer in the explanation

Explanation:

When a magnet is placed at the centre of the paper, and the nails are sprinkled on the paper, what will happen to the nails is that, the nails will form a pattern on the paper according to the magnetic field of the bar magnetic pole.

Other phenomena you can observe are:

1.) The nails will align themselves and show some lines of forces which is equivalent to the magnetic field lines

2.) The direction of the line of forces

3.) The strength of the magnetic field pole.

Longer wavelengths of light, such as _______, have ________ energy than shorter wavelengths, such as _________
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.

mamaluj [8]
<span>3) Neither precise or accurate. This is because of the deviation between the measurements, they vary and are not within a good range. And they are not close to the accepted value. In order to be precise the measurements have to be relatively close to each other, and to be accurate they have to be close to the accepted value.</span>
