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

If the result of your calculation of a quantity has si units kg•m^2/s^2•C, that quantity could be
Novosadov [1.4K]
It would be Joules.
Workdone is measured in Joules.
Workdone = Force * distance
Force = mass * acceleration
          = kg      *  ms⁻²
          = kgms⁻²

Distance = m

So, Force * distance
       kgms⁻² * m

Apply laws of indices that says
x² * x³ = x²⁺³ = x⁵

Therefore, It would be kgm²s⁻²
m¹ * m¹ = m¹⁺¹ = m²
s⁻² is also = s / 2

A 950-kg car strikes a huge spring at a speed of 22m/s (fig. 11-54), compressing the spring 5.0m. (a) what is the spring stiffne
alukav5142 [94]

(a) The spring stiffness constant of the spring is 18,392 N/m.

(b) The time the car was in contact with the spring before it bounces off in the opposite direction is 0.23 s.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the car</h3>

The kinetic energy of the car is calculated as follows;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 950 x 22²

K.E = 229,900 J

<h3>Stiffness constant of the spring</h3>

The stiffness constant of the spring is calculated as follows;

K.E =  U = ¹/₂kx²

k = 2U/x²

k = (2 x 229,900)/(5)²

k = 18,392 N/m

<h3>Force exerted on the spring</h3>

F = kx

F = 18,392 x 5

F = 91,960 N

<h3>Time of impact</h3>

F = mv/t

t = mv/F

t = (950 x 22)/(91960)

t = 0.23 s

Explain how a clinical thermometer should be sterilized and why​
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

Explain why it is not advisable to sterilise a clinical thermometer on boiling water at normal atmospheric temperature. A clinical thermometer has small temperature range. The glass will crack/burst due to excessive pressure created by expansion of mercury.
