TEA [102]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.

Explanation:

The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.

The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.

Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz

Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz

Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = (\frac{8\times10^{14} }{300\times10^{6} } to \frac{3\times10^{16} }{300\times10^{9} } )

                                                     = ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:

E = hν

Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.

UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.

Thermodynamic Processes: An ideal gas is compressed isothermally to one-third of its initial volume. The resulting pressure will
djyliett [7]

Answer:

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

Explanation:

The equation of state for ideal gases is described below:

P\cdot V = n \cdot R_{u}\cdot T (1)

Where:

P - Pressure.

V - Volume.

n - Molar quantity, in moles.

R_{u} - Ideal gas constant.

T - Temperature.

Given that ideal gas is compressed isothermally, this is, temperature remains constant, pressure is increased and volume is decreased, then we can simplify (1) into the following relationship:

P_{1}\cdot V_{1} = P_{2}\cdot V_{2} (2)

If we know that \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{3}, then the resulting pressure of the system is:

P_{2} = P_{1}\cdot \left(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}} \right)

P_{2} = 3\cdot P_{1}

The resulting pressure is 3 times the initial pressure.

When an electron moves 2.5 m in the direction of an electric field, the change in electrical potential energy of the electron is
anygoal [31]
In the field of electromagnetism, when two charged plates that are situated opposite to each other by a certain distance, it forms an energy called the electric field. This energy is due to the difference in potential energy with respect to distance. Thus,

E = V/d

However, the voltage in volts is energy per coulomb. Thus,
V = (8x10-17 J/electron)*(1electron/1.60218x10^-19 C)
V = 499.32 volts

Therefore,

E = 499.32 volts /2.5 m
E = 199.73 N/C

The electric field that caused the change in potential energy is equal to 199.73 Newtons per Coulomb.
