Answer:

D. Frequency

Explanation:

The energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to frequency, mathematically it is expressed as;

E ∝ f

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

The equation above can also be expanded to;

$E = hf = h \frac{c}{\lambda}$

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave

Since the speed of light is constant, we can conclude that the energy of the electromagnetic wave is directly proportional to its frequency and inversely proportional to its wavelength.

Therefore, the correct option for direct proportionality is FREQUENCY

Is this statement true or false? Electric currents flow easily through materials that are conductors and through materials that

Alex777 [14]

False because currents do not flow easily through insulators. If it only said conductors, then it would be true.

How much work is done (by a battery, generator, or some other source of potential difference) in moving Avogadro's number of ele

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

W = 1.5 x 10⁶ J = 1.5 MJ

Explanation:

First, we calculate the potential difference between the given 2 points. So, we have:

V₁ = Electric Potential at Initial Position = 6.7 V

V₂ = Electric Potential at Final Position = - 8.9 V

Therefore,

ΔV = Potential Difference = V₂ - V₁ = -8.9 V - 6.7 V = - 15.6 V

Since, we use magnitude in calculation only. Therefore,

ΔV = 15.6 V

Now, we calculate total charge:

Total Charge = q = (No. of Electrons)(Charge on 1 Electron)

where,

No. of Electrons = Avagadro's No. = 6.022 x 10²³

Charge on 1 electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

q = (6.022 x 10²³)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

q = 96352 C

Now, from the definition of potential difference, we know that it is equal to the worked done on a unit charge moving it between the two points of different potentials:

ΔV = W/q

W = (ΔV )(q)

where,

W = work done = ?

W = (15.6 V)(96352 C)

How much energy will it take to increase the temperature of 200 milliliters if water by 12 degrees Celsius?

AleksandrR [38]

Answer: The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C. Lead will warm up and cool down fastest because it doesn't take much energy to change its temperature.

If a balloon is heated, what happens to the pressure of the air inside the balloon if the volume remains constant?.

Molodets [167]

Answer:

P V = N R T is the ideal gas equation

P2 / P1 = T2 / T1

The pressure will increase.
