Which of the following statements about X-rays and radio waves is not true? Which of the following statements about X-rays and r

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:

Gamma rays

X rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared radiation

Microwaves

Radio waves

Now we can analyze the 4 statements:

X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.

X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.

X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.

On my science test, there is a bonus question that I want to get right. Why would it be a bad idea to skydive on the moon? Hint:

Answer:

Because there is no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object falls on Earth, there are essentially two forces acting on it:

- The force of gravity, downward, equal to the weight of the object:

$W=mg$

where m is the mass and g the acceleration due to gravity

- The air resistance, F, which acts upward, and whose magnitude is generally proportional to v, the speed of the object

When the object starts its fall, its initial speed is zero: v = 0, so the air resistance is also zero: F=0, and the object accelerates downward due to gravity.

However, as it accelerates downward, its speed increases, and so does the air resistance F. However, F is upward, opposite to the direction of motion, therefore it reduces the net acceleration of the object; at a certain point, the magnitude of the air resistance will become equal to the weight, so that

mg = F

and at that point, the net acceleration of the object will become zero: this means that the object will continue its fall at a constant velocity, called terminal velocity.

On the Moon instead, there is no air resistance: this means that for an object falling down, the speed keeps increasing due to the effect of gravity, and it will never reach a terminal value: therefore, the final velocity at the impact will be much higher than on the Earth, if we assume the two objects have been dropped from a very high altitude from the surface.

Radiation in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum is quite energetic. It is this radiation that causes dyes to

N76 [4]

The energy of photon in kJ/mol is 329kJ/mol.

Wavelength of radiation is 370nm. The frequency of given wavelength is

ν = c / λ

ν = 3×10^8 / 370×10^-9

ν = 8.11 × 10^14 s^-1

Now the energy of photon is:

E = hν

E = 6.63×10^-34 J.s/photon × 8.11×10^14s^-1

E = 5.41× 10^-19 J/photon

To find in mole

E = 5.41× 10^-19 × 6.022×10^23

E = 3.29 ×10^ 5 J/mol

So, the energy of mole of photon is equal to 329 kJ/mol.

Answer:

The box will experience an acceleration.

Explanation:

Here, 2 N and 3 N forces are acting opposite to each other. In this case, the net force experience by the box would be (3-2)N = 1 N towards right. Since acceleration is directly proportional to the net force, therefore the box will experience an acceleration.
