 wave b has the shortest wave length
lilavasa [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer : Wave B.

Explanation :

Given that, the waves A, B, C, and D each represent a different wave of the electromagnetic spectrum.  

The energy of a wave is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where,

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of the light

\lambda is the wavelength of light.

The wavelength of a wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

The energy of the wave is inversely proportional to its wavelength.

So, the wave that is energetic enough to damage  living human cells is wave B because its wavelength is small as compared to other waves.

<em>Hence, the correct option is (B) " Wave B because it has the shortest wavelength, and therefore carries the most energy ".  </em>

i hate this question.

Conservation of momentum - is when the total momentum before and after collision is equal.

Here is the formula darling,

Which is a diatomic molecule? <br> A. Ar <br> B. CO <br> C. CO2 <br> D. NaCl
snow_tiger [21]

Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).  

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element (O_{2}) and Carbon monoxide (CO) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride NaCl is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?
denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>
