Answer: short wavelength, high frequency

Explanation:

Gamma rays are highly energetic electromagnetic waves. High energy implies high frequency.

E = h ν

h is the Planck's constant, ν is the frequency.

For electromagnetic radiation, frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Thus, gamma rays have high frequency but short wavelength.

The frequency of gamma rays is greater than 10¹⁹ Hz and wavelength is less 10⁻¹² m.

A town requiring 2.0 m3/s of drinking water has two sources, a local well with 15 g/m3 nitrate (as N) and a distant reservoir wi

kati45 [8]

Explanation:

Drinking water requirement in town 2.0 m^3/s of water per second

nitrate in local well nitrate per 15 $\mathrm{m}^{3}$ of water

nitrate in distant reservoir $=5 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

Let the flow rate of well

flow rate of reservoir $=y m^{3} / s$

Drinking water requirement is $45 \mathrm{ppm}$ or $45 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{m}^{3}$

therefore, the total flow of drinking water

Help with 5 and the question below. BRAINLIEST FOR THE CORRECT ANSWER! Urgent Physics help!

Sound level at distance of 15 m is given as 20 dB

so intensity at this distance is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$20 = 10 Log{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_1 = 10^{-10}W/m^2$

now if we move closer to some some distance the sound level is now 50 dB

now the intensity is given as

$L = 10 Log\frac{I}{I_0}$

$50 = 10Log\frac{I}{10^{-12}}$

$I_2 = 10^{-7}W/m^2$

now we know that

$\frac{I_1}{I_2} = \frac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}$

$\frac{10^{-10}}{10^{-7}} = \frac{r_2^2}{15^2}$

$r_2 = 47 cm$

so now the distance from friend must be 47 cm

State two places where thermal conduction takes place.

Crank

Answer:

two places where thermal conduction takes place are gases and liquids, conduction is due to collisions of molecules during their random motion. Hence, the correct option is (C). Note: Though, the particle distances between gases are much more in comparison to solids and liquids, conduction slowly occurs in gases also
