The energy of an electromagnetic wave changes proportionally to which

Physics
1 answer:
ozzi2 years ago
8 0

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

If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not
Zanzabum
<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

Mary starts at the edge of a circular platform that is slowly rotating on a frictionless axle. She then walks towards the opposi
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The motion of Mary along the circular path is a centripetal.

As Mary moves from one edge of the circular platform to the other edge, she is covering a distance which is the radius of the circular path at a velocity.

According to the relationship

w = v/r where

w is the angular velocity

r is the radius

v is the linear velocity

Initially, before Mary starts, her linear speed is zero and her angular velocity is also zero. As she move towards the opposite edge, she is covering a distance of radius r. According to the formula, increase in radius will leads to decrease in her angular velocity and vice versa. As Mary starts moving towards the centre of the circular path, her angular velocity increases, at the centre of the platform, her angular velocity is at maximum at this point. As she moves further from the center to the other edge, her angular velocity decreases due to increase in distance covered across the circular path.

Friction occurs when microscopic hills and valleys stick together<br><br> true or false
Reika [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.

How can a person detect infrared rays without an instrument?
natita [175]
So we want to know how can we detect infrared rays without an instrument. Infrared rays or heat, are a part of electromagnetic spectrum. We have specialized nerve cells in our skin called thermoreceptors that can detect differences in temperature that are produced by infrared part of EM spectrum.
