All of the following involve waves of electromagnetic energy except the rumble of thunder during a storm.

Electromagnetic waves are used to transmit long/short/FM wavelength radio waves, and TV/telephone/wireless signals or energies. They are also responsible for transmiting energy in the form of microwaves, infrared radiation (IR), visible light (VIS), ultraviolet light (UV), X-rays, and gamma rays.

The correct answer between all the choices given is the second choice or letter B. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Answer:

B. The rumble of thunder during a storm

Explanation:

A. Sunlight shining on a plant leaf

All visible light coming from different sources is a part of electromagnetic waves.

C. Radios receiving signals through air

Radio waves are part of electromagnetic waves which is of least energy and largest wavelength

D. Watching videos on a computer screen

While watching videos we are receiving the light waves from the television and other ultraviolet waves coming from the source. These both are part of electromagnetic waves

So correct answer will be

B. The rumble of thunder during a storm

because it is a part of sound waves which travel through air

An oceanographer is studying how the ion concentration in seawater depends on depth. She makes a measurement by lowering into th

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a) R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²) , b) ρ₀ = V / I π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

Explanation:

a) The resistance of a material is given by

R = ρ l / A

where ρ is the resistivity, l is the length and A is the area

the length is l = L and the resistivity is ρ = ρ₀

the area is the area of the cylindrical shell

A = π r_b² - π r_a²

A = π (r_b² - r_a²)

we substitute

R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²)

b) The potential difference is related to current and resistance by ohm's law

V = i R

we subsist the expression of resistance

V = I ρ₀ L /π (r_b² - R_a²)

ρ₀ = V / I π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer

tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

A sample of helium gas has a volume of 900. milliliters and a pressure of 2.50 atm at 298 K. What is the new pressure when the t

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The new pressure = 5.64 atm.

Explanation:

Using The general gas equation,

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂..................... Equation 1

making P₂ the subject of the equation

P₂ = P₁V₁T₂/V₂T₁ ...................... Equation 2

Where P₁ = initial pressure, V₁ = initial Volume, T₁ = Initial temperature, P₂ = final pressure, V₂ = final volume, T₂ = final Temperature.

Given: P ₁= 2.5 atm, T₁ = 298 K, V₁= 900 milliliters, T ₂= 336 K, V₂ = 450 milliliters

Substituting these values into equation 2,

P₂ = (2.5×900×336)/(298×450)

P₂ = 756000/134100

P₂ = 5.64 atm.

Thus the new pressure = 5.64 atm.

Can a vector be shorter than one of its components

Sauron [17]

It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one
