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

STALIN [3.7K]3 years ago

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 an electric current of 8.50 A flows for 3.75 hours through an electrolytic cell containing copper-sulfate (CuSO4) solution, t
muminat

Answer:

75.5g

Explanation:

From the ionic equation, we can write

CU^{2+}+SO^{2-}_{4}\\

next we find the number of charge

Note Q=it

for i=8.5A, t=3.75 to secs 3.75*60*60=13500secs

hence

Q=8.5*13500\\Q=114750C

Since one faraday represent one mole of electron which equal 96500C

Hence the number of mole produced by 114750C is

114750/96500=1.2mol

The mass of copper produced is

mol=\frac{mass}{molar mass} \\mass=mole*molar mass\\mass=1.2*63.5\\mass=75.5g

Hence the amount of copper produced is 75.5g

Which is a more objective measurement, sound intensity or loudness, and why? 1. sound intensity is exactly same as loudness. 2.
fgiga [73]
The correct answer is:
<span>2. sound intensity is a more objective and physical attribute of a sound wave because loudness can vary from person to person

indeed, sound intensity is a measurable quantity, and so it is objective, while loudness is the subjective perception of the sound level, so it varies from person to person.</span>

A cyclist is coasting at 15 m/s when she starts down a 450 m long slope that is 30 m high. The cyclist and her bicycle have a co
Flura [38]

Answer:

Her speed at the bottom of the slope is 25.665 m/s

Explanation:

Here we have

Initial velocity, v₁= 15 m/s

Final velocity = v₂

The energy balance present in the system can be represented as

\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - mgh = W

Where:

m = Mass of the cyclist = 70 kg

W = work done by the drag force = -F_Dd

Where:

d = Distance traveled = 450 m

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv_2^2 -\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 - mgh = -F_Dd and

v_2^2 =\frac{ \frac{1}{2}mv_1^2 + mgh  -F_Dd}{ \frac{1}{2}m}  = v_1^2 + 2gh -\frac{   2F_Dd}{ m} = 15^2 + 2\times 9.8\times 30 - \frac{2\times 12\times 450}{70}

= 658.714 m²/s²

v₂ = 25.665 m/s

Her speed at the bottom of the slope = 25.665 m/s.
