Explanation:

Visible light is a very part of electromagnetic spectrum. We can see the visible region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The frequency and the wavelength has an inverse relationship.

For example, the red light has large wavelength and low frequency. Violet has a short wavelength and higher frequency.

The frequency range of visible region is from 400 nm to 700 nm.

The wavelength of the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum lies between $\boxed{400\,{\text{nm}} - 700\,{\text{nm}}}$ .

Further Explanation:

The Electromagnetic spectrum is the complete range of the electromagnetic radiation which expresses all the radiation starting from the Gamma rays to the radio waves. The electromagnetic spectrum is the detailed spectrum that explains all the electromagnetic radiations.

The electromagnetic radiations are the transverse waves which do not require any medium for their propagation. The electromagnetic waves can easily travel through space. All the electromagnetic radiations travel at the speed of light.

The different radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum are as follows:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet rays

Infrared rays

Micro waves

Radio waves

The wavelength and the frequency ranges for the different electromagnetic radiations is as shown in figure attached.

Therefore, the wavelength of the visible range of the light in the electromagnetic spectrum is $\boxed{400\,{\text{nm}} - 700\,{\text{nm}}}$ .

If a 400-mm diameter pipe with a pipe roughness coefficient of 100 flows full of pressurized water with a head loss of 0.4 ft pe

RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Q = 913.9 gpm

Explanation:

The Hazen Williams equation can be written as follows:

$P = \frac{4.52\ Q^{1.85}}{C^{1.85}d^{4.87}}$

where,

P = Friction Loss per foot of pipe = $\frac{0.4}{1000\ ft}$ = 4 x 10⁻⁴

Q = Flow Rate in gallon/min (gpm) = ?

d = pipe diameter in inches = (400 mm)(0.0393701 in/1 mm) = 15.75 in

C = roughness coefficient = 100

Therefore,

$4\ x \ 10^{-4} = \frac{4.52\ Q^{1.85}}{(100)^{1.85}(15.75)^{4.87}}\\\\Q^{1.85} = \frac{4\ x \ 10^{-4}}{1.33\ x\ 10^{-9}} \\\\Q = (300384.75)^\frac{1}{1.85}$

Q = 913.9 gpm

Why are household wall sockets alternating current (AC) instead of direct current (DC)? Select all that apply.

Bond [772]

Answer:

It is easier to scale the voltage of AC from high to low and low to high than with DC

Explanation:

typically power is used far away from the place where it's generated so to ensure that transmission losses( copper losses) are minimized voltage has to be stepped up during transmission..but due to the fact that most house hold equipment requires low voltage levels it has to be stepped down once it reaches a household/ domestic load...it's easier to do this for Ac than for DC.

The image formed by a plane mirror is _____.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual, upright and the same size with the actual object. The upright image of an object in a plane mirror is can be found on the other side of the mirror which is why it is also virtual.

An object is hanging by a string from the ceiling of an elevator. The elevator is moving upward with a constant speed. What is t

xeze [42]

Answer:

The magnitude of the tension in he string is equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.

Explanation:

According to the Newton's 1st law, An object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

In here, the elevator is moving with a constant speed. So the object must have the equal constant speed. Which means, it has a uniform motion. According to Newton's 1st law, the total unbalanced force on the object must be zero . As we know, there are only two forces are on the object and they are,

The tension in string(T) , The weight of the object(W) .

∴ F = 0

T - W = 0

So to balanced those forces, the magnitude of the tension in the string must be equal to the magnitude of the weight of the object.
