Name two things radio waves have in common with visible light

1 answer:

8 0

Radio waves and visible light, as we perceive it, are both part of the EM spectrum. The only difference between them in terms of our perception is that we don't have receptors to 'see' radio waves. That's where radio receivers come into the picture*, to convert radio waves into sound impulses that we can hear.

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

$A = \pi r^{2}$ (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

$d = 2r$

$r = \frac{d}{2}$ (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

$A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}$ (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

$A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}$

$A_{mirror1} = 55.41m$

For the second mirror will be the same value

$A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}$

$A = 55.41m+55.41m$

$A= 110.82m$

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 78.53m$

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 66.47m$

Case for Subaru telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 54.10m$

Case for Gemini North telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 50.26m$

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

$A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}$

$A = 33.18m$

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.

The distance from one Crest to the next Crest is the blank

Luda [366]

The distance from one crest to the next crest in a set of waves is called the wavelength. The distance from the crest of one wave to the equilibrium point is called frequency.
Hope that helped! =)

Can someone please explain number 8?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer: Ax=(Vx-Vox)/(T)

Vx=Vox+Ax*T

Solving for Ax in terms of Vx, Vox, T

Vx-Vox=Ax*t

Ax=(Vx-Vox)/(T)

This is saying the acceleration in the x-direction can be found by taking the difference between the finial and initial Velocity in x-direction and dividing it by the Total Time.

Any questions please feel free to ask. Thanks
