The entire scientific Astronomical and Cosmological community assumes that it's the Doppler effect, since that's the only existing scientific explanation for the shifts in wavelengths away from what they're supposed to be. The whole theoretical structure of the "Big Bang" and the expanding universe is built on that understanding.

If anybody ever comes along and discovers another way for electromagnetic waves to get longer or shorter on their way to us through space, then the whole big bang and expanding universe may be out the window.

Precipitation clouds are observed at a distance of about 720 miles to the west of a city. The clouds are seen moving westwards a

tankabanditka [31]

This question may require more information for an accurate answer. If the clouds are observed west of the city and they are moving in a westerly direction it means that the clouds are moving away. Precipitation refers to rainfall, sleet, hail or snow. Since no reference was made to the temperature, season or location of the city it could be rain or snow clouds. The clouds are moving away from the city so the possible answers could be b. or d. Furthermore, by dividing the distance by the speed one would get an answer of twenty four hours. So even if the clouds were moving towards the city it would take a day to reach and precipitation would not be likely in 24 hrs.

amm1812

Answer:

q=3.5*10^-4

Explanation:

concept:

The force acting on both charges is given by the coulomb law:

F=kq1q2/r^2

the centripetal force is given by:

Fc=mv^2/r

The kinetic energy is given by:

KE=1/2mv^2

The tension force:

when the plane is uncharged

T=mv^2/r

T=2(K.E)/r

T=2(50 J)/r

T=100/r

when the plane is charged

T+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(K.E)charged/r

100/r+k*|q|^2/r^2=2(53.5 J)/r

q=√(2r[53.5 J-50 J]/k) √= square root on whole

q=√2(2)(53.5 J-50 J)/8.99*10^9

q=3.5*10^-4

Compare the strengths of UV light and microwaves (in Hz). Which type of light is more powerful and how do you know?

TEA [102]

Answer:

UV light is more powerful as it has greater energy.

Explanation:

The energy propagated by electromagnetic waves ( light ) through vacuum or medium is known as electromagnetic radiation.

The frequency/wavelength range of electromagnetic radiation is known as electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum ranging from gamma ray to radio waves.

Frequency range of UV light = ( 8 x 10¹⁴ to 3 x 10¹⁶ ) Hz

Frequency range of Microwaves = ( 300 x 10⁶ to 300 x 10⁹ ) Hz

Ratio of UV light to Microwaves = ( $\frac{8\times10^{14} }{300\times10^{6} }$ to $\frac{3\times10^{16} }{300\times10^{9} }$ )

= ( 2.66 x 10⁶ to 1 x 10⁸ )

Energy of electromagnetic radiation is given by the relation:

E = hν

Here h is plank's constant and ν is frequency.

UV light is more powerful than Microwaves as frequency of UV light is greater than frequency of microwaves. Thus, by the above equation, the energy of UV light is more than energy of Microwaves.
