What is the similarity and the principal difference between a beam of X-rays and a beam of light?

Physics
1 answer:
kati45 [8]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Both are part of a family in physics which scientists refer to as the electromagnetic spectrum. All waves in this spectrum including light and x-rays travel at the same speed (3*10^8 m/s in a vacuum). However they differ in their wavelength and frequencies through the equation-----speed of light=wavelength multiplied by frequency.

Light may have a higher frequency than x-rays but lower wavelength. Either way they both multiply to receive the speed of light as the answer.

A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to
uysha [10]

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.

Consider what happens at the moment when the block leaves the surface of the globe. Which of the following statements are correc
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Statement 1 and 3 are correct.

Explanation:

1. The mass moves  downward, so the net acceleration of the block is straight downward.

2.The mass is sliding through the globe, so only the force of gravity is acting on the mass which pulls it in downward direction. The force of gravity has two components [mg sin∅] and [mg cos∅].

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures
GaryK [48]

Boiling water is a common method used to sterilize water that may be contaminated. subjecting microbes to such high temperatures is an example of a(n) microbicidal technique.

A substance that eliminates microorganisms (such as bacteria) is known as microbicide and the techniques that involve destruction of microbes are known as microbicidal techniques.

The pathogen biofilm was effectively destroyed by the combined microbicidal effects of hot water (50, 60, or 70 °C) and 2% citric acid. It was discovered that the combination of hot water and citric acid caused sub-lethally harmed cells.

A fairly easy way to disinfect water is to boil it. The majority of dangerous organisms, notably viruses and bacteria that cause waterborne infections, are killed when water is heated to a high temperature of 100°C. The water must boil for at least 20 minutes in order to be most effective.

Hence, water that may be polluted is frequently sterilized by boiling. Using such high temperatures to kill germs is an example of a microbicidal method.

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy transforms matter in different ways by creating and destroying it.
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can be transformed from one form of energy to another, but the energy in an isolated system remains constant.

The answer then would be letter B. False.
