A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the ____ of the photons, which results in the different
olga2289 [7]
The sentence can be completed as follows:
"<span>A major difference between radio waves, visible light, and gamma rays is the energy of the photons, which results in the different photon frequencies and wavelengths."

In fact, gamma rays have greater energy than visible light and visible light has greater energy than radio waves. The energy E of a photon is related to its frequency, f, by
</span>E=hf
<span>where h is the Planck constant. We see from this formula that the higher the frequency, the greater the energy. Instead, the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency:
</span>\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
<span>where c is the speed of light. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the energy, this means that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the energy.</span>

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded
Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N

Which of these is true about kinetic energy but not necessarily true about potential energy
cestrela7 [59]

Kinetic energy is never negative, but potential energy can be.

Potential energy depends on height above some reference level,
and you can pick any level you want as the reference.  So, if the
object is below the reference level you pick, then its potential
energy relative to your reference level is negative. 

What that means is:  You have to lift it / do work on it / give it more
energy than it has now ... in order to move it to the reference level.

(That's exactly the situation with electrons bound to an atom.  Their
energy is considered negative, because we have to do work and
give them more energy to rip them away from the atom.)
_____________________________________

Regarding the other choices:

-- Kinetic energy is scalar ... Yes.  So is potential energy.

-- Kinetic energy increases with height ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

-- Kinetic energy depends on position ...
   No. It doesn't, but potential energy does.

A uniform electric field contains a number of particles. All are experiencing forces in the same direction as the electric field
myrzilka [38]

Answer: D

All the particles must be uncharged

Explanation:

If all the particles are positively charged, then there will be force of repulsion between them which will give different directions away from each other. The same is applicable if they are all negatively charged.

If the particles are positively and negatively charged, their will be force of attraction between them which will give different directions towards each other.

For all to be experiencing forces in the same direction, We can conclude that

All the particles must be uncharged.
