How are gamma rays and microwaves similar
1 answer:
They are both electromagnetic waves
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields. The fields oscillate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave, so they are transverse waves.
Electromagnetic waves are the only type of waves able to travel in a vacuum. All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, known as the speed of light, equal to:
Electromagnetic waves are divided into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength and frequency. From the shortest to the longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency, since frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
So as we can see, both gamma rays and microwaves are types of electromagnetic waves. The difference between them is their different wavelength/frequency: in fact, the wavelength of gamma rays is extremently short (), while microwaves have longer wavelengths (at the order of the centimeter).

Answer:
Rectangular path
Solution:
As per the question:
Length, a = 4 km
Height, h = 2 km
In order to minimize the cost let us denote the side of the square bottom be 'a'
Thus the area of the bottom of the square, A =
Let the height of the bin be 'h'
Therefore the total area,
The cost is:
C = 2sh
Volume of the box, V = (1)
Total cost, (2)
From eqn (1):
Using the above value in eqn (1):
Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t 'a':
For the required solution equating the above eqn to zero:
a = 4
Also
The path in order to minimize the cost must be a rectangle.
Answer:
option (a) 0.61 s
Explanation:
Given;
Time taken by the ball to reach the ground = 0.50 s
Let us first calculate the distance through which the ball falls on the ground
from the Newton's equation of motion, we have
where,
s is the distance
a is the acceleration
t is the time
here it is the case of free fall
thus, a = g = acceleration due to gravity
u = initial speed of the ball = 0
on substituting the values, we get
or
s = 1.225 m
Now,
when the elevator is moving up with speed of 1.0 m/s
the initial speed of the ball = -1.0 m/s (as the elevator is moving in upward direction)
thus , we have
or
or
4.9t^2 - t - 1.225 = 0
or
t = 0.612 s
hence, the correct answer is option (a) 0.61 s
