List the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum from longest wavelength to shortest wavelength

1 answer:

6 0

The rays of the electromagnetic spectrum from shortest to longest wavelength are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared rays, optical rays, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma-rays.

EDIT: He has these backwards, the shortest wavelength is created by Gamma-Rays and the longest is Radiowaves.

 Remember- high energy = short wavelength.

Which statement best explains why sound waves cannot travel through space

Naddika [18.5K]

The vacuum of outer space has essentially zero air. Because sound is just vibrating air, space has no air to vibrate and therefore no sound. If you are sitting in a space ship and another space ship explodes, you would hear nothing. So, in order for sound to travel, there has to be something with molecules for it to travel through. On Earth, sound travels to your ears by vibrating air molecules. In deep space, the large empty areas between stars and planets, there are no molecules to vibrate. There is no sound there.

. Water is flowing at 12m/s in a horizontal pipe under a pressure of 600kpa radius 2cm. a. What is the speed of the water on the

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Outlet Velocity = 192 m/s

Outlet Pressure = 510 kPa

Explanation:

Givens:

Inlet Velocity, V₁ = 12 m/s

Inlet Pressure, P₁ = 600 kPa = 600,000 Pa

Inlet Radius r₁ = 0.5 cm

Outlet Velocity, V₂ = not given (we are asked to find this)

Outlet Pressure, P₂ = not given (we are asked to find this)

Outlet Radius, r₂ = 0.5 cm

From these, we can find the following:

Inlet Area, A₁ = π (r₁)² = π(2)² = 4π cm²

Outlet Area, A₂ = π (r₂)² = π(0.5)² = 0.25π cm²

Part A :

Assuming that water is incompressible, we can reason that within the same given time, the amount of volume of water entering the inlet must equal the volume of water exiting the outlet. Hence by the continuity equation (i.e. conservation of mass)

Inlet Volume flow rate = Outlet Volume flow rate

(recall that Volume flow rate in a pipe is given by Velocity x Cross Section Area), Hence the equation becomes

V₁ x A₁ = V₂ x A₂ (substituting the values that we know from above)

12 x 4π = V₂ x 0.25π (we don't have to change all to SI units because the conversion factors on the left will cancel out the conversion factors on the right).

V₂ = (12 x 4π) / (0.25π)

V₂ = 192 m/s (Answer)

Part B:

For Part B, if we assume a closed ideal system (control volume method), we can simply apply the energy equation (i.e Bernoulli's equation)

P₁ + (1/2)ρV₁ + ρgh₁ = P₂ + (1/2)ρV₂ + ρgh₂

Because the pipe is horizontal, there is no difference between h₁ and h₂, hence we can neglet this term:

P₁ + (1/2)ρV₁ = P₂ + (1/2)ρV₂ (rearranging)

P₂ = P₁ + (1/2)ρV₁ - (1/2)ρV₂

= P₁ + (1/2)ρ (V₁-V₂)

Assuming that the density of water is approx, ρ = 1000 kg/m³

P₂ = 600,000 + (1/2)(1000) (12-192)

= 600,000 + ( -90,000)

= 510,000 Pa

= 510 kPa (Answer)

What kind of electromagnetic radiation could be used to see molecules

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

X ray

Explanation:

To see an object the light used must have the same or smaller wavelength than the object. The size of an atom is about $10^{10}$ m, smaller than the wavelength, therefore we'll need radiation with a shorter wavelength since X-ray wavelengths are about the same size as atoms this characteristic makes it ideal to use.

I hope you find this information useful nd interesting! Good luck!

You are pushing a box up a ramp with 70 N of force. If the ramp is made steeper and shorter, what needs to happen to the box for

Elenna [48]

Answer:

A larger force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving

Explanation:

A ramp is an inclined plane surface that is tilted to form a slope on its opposite sides

A ramp provides mechanical advantage or force amplification, by allowing less force to lift heavier load from having to move through a longer distance to reach a particular elevation when the slope of the ramp is gentle

Therefore, when the slope is steeper, and shorter, more force than 70 N will be required for the box to continue moving.

The Fitness Log is:

Molodets [167]

Answer:

D. A record of all the physical activity you complete in one week.

Explanation:

A "Fitness Log" allows you to keep track of your workout or exercise. Therefore, it is a record of the different workout you've managed to complete within a time frame. It gives you several information such as the type of workout you've completed, its duration and the time of the day it was performed. This makes a person motivated to exercise because he can see his progress. He may also include his mood before and after workout in order to become more mindful in exercising and many other things.
