X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

X-rays are electromagnetic waves. Like any other electromagnetic waves, they are transverse waves, and travel at the speed of light.

17. In which layer does mantle convection occur?
Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. Asthenosphere

Explanation:

The asthenosphere is relatively plastic part of the mantle which underlies the brittle lithosphere. In the asthenosphere, it is generally believed that the rocks are in ductile state and easily moves. It is the site of convection within the earth. In mantle convection, hot and light materials rises and keeps moving into upper crustal levels till they solidify. Here also, cold and denser materials sinks deeper till they turn to melt. This differences in temperature and density sets up a convective cell within the mantle. Several convective cells are in the mantle.

A 0.600 m long pendulum is used to determine the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet. If 20 complete oscillation are
givi [52]

Answer :

Explanation :

It is given that,

length of pendulum, l = 0.6 m

Number of oscillation, n = 20

time, t = 35.5 seconds

so, Time period, T=\dfrac{t}{n}

T=\dfrac{35.5s}{20}

we know that the time period of pendulum is given by

T=2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

g=\dfrac{4\pi^2l}{T^2}

g=\dfrac{4\times(3.14)^2\times 0.6 \times (20)^2}{(35.5s)^2}

g=7.51\ m/s^2

or

g=7.52\ m/s^2

Why can't theories become laws?
shtirl [24]

Since each serves a different purpose, theories cannot become laws. Explaining how or why a natural phenomenon occurs is what the set of ideas called theories do. On the other hand, mathematical relationships that describes what happens are what is done by laws.

 

Let me show an example that illustrates the points. Describing what happens in the natural world are done by the mathematical formulas called the Gas Laws. In this example, it would show that by using the Gas Laws, I will be able to predict with great accuracy the pressure if I double the temperature of a sealed gas. This idea is a law since the relationship is mathematical and it tells us what will happen.

 

<span>On the other hand, in order to explain why gases behave like the way they do, we must use the kinetic molecular theory.</span>

What is the distance covered when the speed is 960km/hr and time is 1 hour and 50 minutes?
OLEGan [10]
The distance is 1760 km

The speed is 960 km hour I.e 960 divide by 60 = 16 km/minute
hence in time 1 hour 50 minutes I.e 110 minutes
distance travelled is 110 - 16 = 1760 km
