<h2>Answer: Ultraviolet Light </h2>

Ultraviolet light, whose wavelength is approximately between 100 nm and 380 nm; is a type of electromagnetic radiation that is not visible to the human eye.

This light is used for many purposes, among which is the identification of fluerescent minerals.

In this sense, fluorescence is a property that certain materials have in which they absorb energy in the form of short wavelength not visible electromagnetic radiation (the ultraviolet, for example) and then emit some of that energy in the form of longer wavelength electromagnetic radiation (in the visible spectrum). This is also called luminiscence.

Hence, the correct option is a.

How speed and position affect the energy possess by an object?

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

more speed means that an object has more energy, now if an object's place is something such as a hill, the potential energy will increase meaning an object will have more speed and acceleration. this is because you have the earth's gravity helping you out when the object goes downhill, giving it the higher potential energy

imagine riding a single-speed bicycle. why do you have to push harders on the pedals to start the bicycle moving than to keep it

Flura [38]

A large force is required to accelerate the mass of the bicycle and rider. Once the desired constant velocity is reached, a much smaller force is sufficient to overcome the ever-present frictional forces.
