Which of the following electromagnetic waves has the shortest wavelength?

1 answer:

5 0

The human eye sees radio waves with a very short wavelength, which is another way of saying high-frequency waves. The word "ultra" should queue you in that ultraviolet waves are higher frequency than just violet waves. Violet is sorta purplish or blueish, which is the highest frequency or "color" that our eyes can see. So ultraviolet is higher frequency than visible light, which is the same thing as "color." On the other hand, red is the lowest frequency or highest wavelength that our eyes can see. And "Infra" means lower than red, so, infrared waves are "colors" or frequencies, smaller than visible light. To determine where microwaves fall under look up "Electromagnetic Spectrum." Good luck!

Two samples of water are mixed together.

Anon25 [30]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A.75°C

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Let the change in temp of cold water be x degrees,

while that of hot water be 100 - x degrees.

Heat exchange = mcΔt

Ice

Δt = x

m = 0.50 kg

c = 4.18 kJ/kg*°C

Hot water

Δt = 100 - x

m = 1.5 kg

c = 4.18

But;

Heat lost = heat gained

0.50 * c * x = 1.5 * c * (100 - x)

0.50 *x = 1.5*(100 - x)

0.5x = 150 - 1.5x

0.5x + 1.5x = 150 - 1.5x + 1.5x

2x = 150

x = <u>75° C</u>

Hence; the equilbrium temperature will be 75° C

CHAPTER 6: KINETICS OF A PARTICLE

vekshin1

Explanation:

Work done by winch = kinetic energy of car

∫ T ds = ½ mv²

∫ 225s ds = ½ mv²

225/2 s² = ½ mv²

225 s² = mv²

v = 15s / √m

Given s = 10 m and m = 2500 kg:

v = 15 (10) / √2500

v = 3 m/s

A wave is 8 meters long and has a frequency of 3 Hz. Find speed

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

<u><em>The speed is 24 </em></u> $\frac{meter}{s}$ <u><em></em></u>
