To me the basic difference is their frequency and wavelength.

For frequency :
Infrared < visible light < ultraviolet

For wavelength :
Infrared > visible light > ultraviolet

If your chunk of gold weighed 1 N in which case would you have the largest mass of gold?
kotykmax [81]
Ah ha !  Very interesting question.
Thought-provoking, even.

You have something that weighs 1 Newton, and you want to know 
the situation in which the object would have the greatest mass.

          Weight = (mass) x (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (weight) / (local gravity)

          Mass  =  (1 Newton) / (local gravity)

"Local gravity" is the denominator of the fraction, so the fraction
has its greatest value when 'local gravity' is smallest.  This is the
clue that gives it away.

If somebody offers you 1 chunk of gold that weighs 1 Newton,
you say to him:

   "Fine !  Great !  Golly gee, that's sure generous of you.  
But before you start weighing the chunk to give me, I want you
to take your gold and your scale to Pluto, and weigh my chunk
there.   And if you don't mind, be quick about it."

The local acceleration of gravity on Pluto is  0.62 m/s² ,
but on Earth, it's 9.81 m/s.

So if he weighs 1 Newton of gold for you on Pluto, its mass will be
1.613 kilograms, and it'll weigh 15.82 Newtons here on Earth. 

That's almost 3.6 pounds of gold, worth over $57,000 !


It would be even better if you could convince him to weigh it on
Halley's Comet, or on any asteroid.  Wherever he's willing to go
that has the smallest gravity.  That's the place where the largest
mass weighs 1 Newton.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The objects outside the reference frame aren't moving. It appears this way since the vehicle you are inside is moving, but unless the objects are people, animals, or other vehicles, the objects aren't moving.

Rest and motion are relative terms why?​
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.
