Let's see: frequency of cellular phone waves (GSM phones) is (800-1900 MHz). If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can see that this range is contained within the frequencies of the microwaves, which include waves in the range 300 MHz-300 GHz.

So, summarizing, the correct answer is "microwaves".

A spring of spring constant k is attached to a support at the bottom of a ramp that makes an angle θ with the horizontal. A bloc

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy

Energy lost by the spring, W=Kinetic energy gained, KE+Potential energy gained, PE+Work done by friction, Fr

$0.5kd^{2}=0.5mv^{2}+mgLsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta x$

$x(mgsin\theta+\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)=0.5kd^{2}$

$x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

The required distance from A to B is $x=\frac {kd^{2}}{2(mgsin\theta +\mu_{k}mgcos\theta)}$

List the following types of electromagnetic radiation in order of increasing wavelength:(i) the gamma rays produced by a radioac

Naddik [55]

Answer:

In order of increasing wavelength, the answer is:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

(v) The red light of a light emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680kHz on the dial

Explanation:

First, you have to know that the wavelength of a sinusoidal wave traveling at a constant speed is given by:

λ $= \frac{v}{f}$

Where λ is the wavelength, $v$ is the constant speed and $f$ is the wave's frequency. In the case of electromagnetic radiation in free space, the constant speed is the speed of light.

From explained above, you can conclude that there is a proportionality relationship between the wavelength and the frequency, they are inversely proportional. That means: the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength and vice-versa.

So, you have the following types:

(i) The gamma rays produced by a radioactive nuclide used in medical imaging

Frequency : Typically greater than $10^{19}$ Hz

(ii) Radiation from an FM radio station at 93.1 MHz on the dial

Frequency: 93.1 MHz

(iii) A radio signal from an AM radio station at 680 kHz on the dial

Frequency: 680 kHz

(iv) The yellow light from sodium-vapor streetlights

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 508 - 526 THz

(v) The red light of a light-emitting diode, such as in a calculator display

Frequency: Visible spectrum of approx. 400 - 484 THz

Then, you have to organize them from the highest frequency to the smallest one (decreasing frequency), and as the highest frequency will have the shortest wavelength, you are going to have it organized in an increasing wavelength mode.

Then in order of increasing wavelength, the answer will be:

(i) , (iv), (v), (ii), (iii)

Define linear expansivity

lidiya [134]

Linear expansivity is a type of thermal expansion. It is described by a fraction that represents the fractional increase in length of a thin beam of a material exposed to a temperature increase of one degree Celsius. ... Linear expansivity is used in many real world applications.
