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.

Answer:

The length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

Explanation:

The ray of light hitting the ground forms a right angled triangle of height H, which is the height of the building and width, D which is the distance of the tip of the shadow from the building.

Also, the height of the man, h which is parallel to H forms a right-angled triangle of width, L which is the length of the shadow.

By similar triangles,

H/D = h/L

L = hD/H

Also, when the man is 4 m from the building, the length of his shadow is L = D - 4

So, D - 4 = hD/H

H(D - 4) = hD

H = hD/(D - 4)

Since h = 2 m and D = 12 m,

H = 2 m × 12 m/(12 m - 4 m)

H = 24 m²/8 m

H = 3 m

Since L = hD/H

and h and H are constant, differentiating L with respect to time, we have

dL/dt = d(hD/H)/dt

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

Now dD/dt = velocity(speed) of man = -1.7 m/s ( negative since he is moving towards the building in the negative x - direction)

Since h = 2 m and H = 3 m,

dL/dt = h(dD/dt)/H

dL/dt = 2 m(-1.7 m/s)/3 m

dL/dt = -3.4/3 m/s

dL/dt = -1.13 m/s

So, the length of his shadow is decreasing at a rate of 1.13 m/s

QveST [7]

Answer:

To create an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor.

Explanation:

For current to flow, there must exist an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor. This PD is provided by the electromotive force stored within the battery. Unless there is a connection between the terminals no PD will exist between the terminals.

jenyasd209 [6]

The correct answer is C. Velocity is a vector and requires a direction.

Explanation:

In physics both speed and velocity are used to study the motion of a body; however, they are slightly different. In the case of speed, this describes the rate of change in position based on distance and time, because of this, speed is based on a magnitude or quantity. On the other hand, velocity is a vector because it does not only includes a change of position but the direction of motion usually based on a specific location reference.

Considering this, it can be concluded the difference between speed and velocity is that "velocity is a vector and requires a direction" because velocity includes both the distance and time (speed) along with the direction while speed focuses only on time and distance.
