Why do waves with frequencies higher than visible light hurt while those with lower frequencies do not affect us?

Lower frequency waves have less strength to penetrate. How bad a wave is all depends on how well it penetrates our bodies. Visible light doesn't penetrate ur skin, but UV rays (higher than visible) can go through our skin, making it <span>bad" for us. High frequency waves have more energy and move faster</span>

Answer:

Explanation:

Waves with higher frequency have high penetration power. Energy of a wave id directly proportional to the frequency of the wave so penetration power is high. Visible rays suits to the human body and do not harm. Humans can see visible light and can easily work in visible range. But in the higher frequency such as UV waves and radio waves penetrate human body and affect it in negative way.

If a 1.00 kg body has an acceleration of 2.44 m/s2 at 53° to the positive direction of the x axis, then what are (a) the x comp
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) Fx = 1.464 N

(b) Fy = 1.952 N

(c) F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Given

Mass = 1kg

Acceleration = 2.44 m/s2

Angle with positive X axis = 53°

As we know

F = ma

By substituting value

F= 1×2.44 N

F= 2.44 N

(a)   Component of force in X direction

Fx = F Cosθ

Fx = 2.44 Cos(53°)

Fx = 2.44 × 0.60 = 1.464 N

(b) Component of force in Y direction

Fy = F Sinθ

Fy = 2.44 Sin(53°) = 2.44 × 0.80 = 1.952 N

(c) Net force in vector notation

F(x, y) = 1.464 i + 1.952 j

Thus we got net force.

The work function for tungsten metal is 4.52eV a. What is the cutoff (threshold) wavelength for tungsten? b. What is the maximum
Tanya [424]

Answer: a) 274.34 nm; b) 1.74 eV c) 1.74 V

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to consider the energy balance for the photoelectric effect on tungsten:

h*ν = Ek+W ; where h is the Planck constant, ek the kinetic energy of electrons and W the work funcion of the metal catode.

In order to calculate the cutoff wavelength we have to consider that Ek=0

in this case  h*ν=W

(h*c)/λ=4.52 eV

λ= (h*c)/4.52 eV

λ= (1240 eV*nm)/(4.52 eV)=274.34 nm

From this h*ν = Ek+W;  we can calculate the kinetic energy for a radiation wavelength of 198 nm

then we have

(h*c)/(λ)-W= Ek

Ek=(1240 eV*nm)/(198 nm)-4.52 eV=1.74 eV

Finally, if we want to stop these electrons we have to applied a stop potental equal to 1.74 V . At this potential the photo-current drop to zero. This potential is lower to the catode, so this  acts to slow down the ejected electrons from the catode.

The mixture you separated was a mixture of iron filings, sand, and salt. Based on your understanding of matter, is this mixture
V125BC [204]

Answer: Heterogeneous mixture - the parts are not uniformly mixed.

A mixture contains components having distinct chemical properties. There are two types of mixtures: homogeneous and heterogeneous. In a homogeneous mixture there is uniform distribution of components. we cannot distinguish one portion of the mixture from another. for example salt mixed in water. In heterogeneous mixture, the components are not uniformly mixed. hence, we are able to distinguish different parts of a mixture, like the mixture of iron, sand and salt given in this question.

A star is moving away from an observer at 1% of the speed of light. At what wavelength would the observer find an emission line
Ivan

Answer:

  λ = 5940 Angstroms

Explanation:

This is an exercise of the relativistic Doppler effect

        f’= f  √((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Where the speed in between the strr and the observer is positive if they move away

Let's use the relationship

         c = λ f

         f = c /λ

We replace

              c /λ’ = c /λ  √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

              λ = λ’ √ ((1- v / c) / (1 + v / c))

Let's calculate

             v = 0.01 c

             v = 0.01 3 10⁸

             v=  3 10⁶ m / s

             λ = 6000 √ [(1- 3 10⁶/3 10⁸) / (1+ 3 10⁶/3 10⁸)]

             λ = 6000 √ [0.99 / 1.01]

             λ = 5940 Angstroms

Pls help
belka [17]

Answer:

2156 J

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done = Combined mass of the bucket and water×height×gravity.

W = (M+m)hg............................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of water, m = mass of the bucket, h = height, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Given: M = 20 kg, m = 2 kg, h = 10 m

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these  value into equation 1

W = (20+2)×10×9.8

W = 22×98

W = 2156 J
