What is the speed of all forms of electromagnetic radiation in a vacuum

Physics
1 answer:
marysya [2.9K]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

3.0 \cdot 10^8 m/s (speed of light)

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field that occur in a plane perpendicular to the direction of travelling of the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the same speed, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

And this value is called speed of light.

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, depending on their wavelength/frequency. From highest to lowest frequency, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet  radiation

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Explanation:

The spoon is a curved metallic object, when we see ourselves from the back we have a convex mirror, in this type of mirror when the law of reflection is applied the rays diverge therefore the eye-brain system forms the image with the prolongation of the rays, therefore the image is straight and smaller than the object.

When we look through the deep side of the spoon, we have a concave mirror and as the object (we) is further away than the distance, the rays converge to a point, so the image is real, inverted smaller than the object.

In summary.

a) The back spoon gives a right image (upright)

b) the front gives an inverted image

Variations in the reactive properties of different organic molecules are most closely associated with _____.
azamat

Answer:

the presence or absence of functional groups

Explanation:

The functional group is the group of atoms that characterize a chemical function and that have well-defined characteristic properties.

In organic chemistry, the functional group is a set of submolecular structures, characterized by a specific elementary connectivity and composition that confers specific chemical reactivity to the molecule that contains them. These structures replace the hydrogen atoms lost by saturated hydrocarbon chains. Aliphatic, or open chain, groups are usually represented generically by R (alkyl radicals), while aromatic ones, or derivatives of benzene, are represented by Ar (aryl radicals).

What is the kinetic energy of a 0.135 kg baseball thrown at 40 m/s
Ronch [10]
KE = 1/2 * m * v^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 40^2
KE = 1/2 * 0.135 * 1600
KE = 108 J
