Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?
1 answer:
Explanation:
As we know that relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.
E =
This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. So, more is the energy of an electromagnetic radiation less will be its wavelength.
Also, f =
Hence, less will be the wavelength more will frequency of a radiation.
Gamma rays are the rays that have highest energy, small wavelength and highest frequency.
Thus, we can conclude that gamma rays are the electromagnetic radiation which has the highest frequency.

Answer:
(a) 0.942 m
(b) 18.84 m/s
(c) 2366.3 m/s²
(d) 0.05 s
Explanation:
(a) In one revolution, it travels through one circumference, 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 0.15 m = 0.942 m.
(b) Its frequency, f, is 1200 rev/min = rev/s = 20 rev/s.
Its angular frequency, ω = 2πf = 2π × 20 = 40π
The speed is given by
v = ωr = 40π × 0.15 = 6π = 18.84 m/s
(c) Its acceleration is given by, a = ω²r = (40π)² × 0.15 = 2366.3 m/s²
(d) The period is the inverse of the frequency because it is the time taken to complete one revolution.
T = 1/20 = 0.05 s
