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

What does atomic spectrum mean?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The range of characteristic frequencies of electromagnetic radiation that are readily absorbed and emitted by an atom. The atomic spectrum is an effect of the quantized orbits of electrons around the atom

Additional Facts:

Atomic spectra can also be analyzed to determine the composition of objects
The frequency depends on the difference in energy between the orbitals. Explaining this phenomenon was crucial to the development of quantum mechanics
Occurs due to the fact are quantized at specific levels determined by the atomic number

A. Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with

zzz [600]

(a) 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a). 1 MHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Frequency is the measure of number of times a same thing will be repeated in a given time interval for a given time. And wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs. So wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. And velocity of light is the proportionality constant.

So frequency of microwave radiation = Speed of light/Wavelength of radiation

Frequency = $\frac{3*10^{8} }{3*10^{-2} }$

Frequency = $10^{8+2} = 10^{10}=10 GHz$

So 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

b). As microwave is a part of light waves, so it will be experiencing the speed of light.

As the speed is 3* $10^{8}$ m/s and the distance between the two mountains is given as 50 km, then time can be calculated as

Time = Distance/Velocity

Time = $\frac{50*10^{3} m}{3*10^{8} }=16.67*10^{3-8}=16.67*10^{-5}$

So time = 0.167 ms.

Thus, 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

An ideal spring hangs from the ceiling. A 1.95 kg mass is hung from the spring, stretching the spring a distance d=0.0865 m from

uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

kinetic energy = 0.1168 J

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we know that ;

F = kx

k = F/x

We are given ;

Mass; m = 1.95 kg

Spring stretch; d = x = 0.0865

So, Force = mg = 1.95 × 9.81

k = 1.95 × 9.81/0.0865 = 221.15 N/m

Now, initial energy is;

E1 = mgL + ½k(x - L)²

Also, final energy; E2 = ½kx² + ½mv²

From conservation of energy, E1 = E2

Thus;

mgL + ½k(x - L)² = ½kx² + ½mv²

Making the kinetic energy ½mv² the subject, we have;

½mv² = mgL + ½k(x - L)² - ½kx²

We are given L=0.0325 m

Plugging other relevant values, we have ;

½mv² = (1.95 × 9.81 × 0.0325) + (½ × 221.15(0.0865 - 0.0325)² - ½(221.15 × 0.0865²)

½mv² = 0.62170875 + 0.3224367 - 0.82734979375

½mv² = 0.1168 J

A steel ball and a wooden ball of the same diameter are released together from the top of a tower. In the absence of air resista

ella [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The steel ball and the wooden ball do not have the same force acting on them because their masses are different. But, they have the same acceleration which is the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s².

Using the equation of motion under freefall, s = ut +1/2gt². Since u = 0,

s = 1/2gt² ⇒ t = √(2s/g)

Since. s = height is the same for both objects, they land at the same time neglecting air resistance.
