Answer:
C) amplitude
Explanation:
"The amplitude is a measure of the strength or intensity of the wave. For example, when looking at a sound wave, the amplitude will measure the loudness of the sound. The energy of the wave also varies in direct proportion to the amplitude of the wave."-Ducksters
Answer:
the wavelength is 9.8 meters
Explanation:
We can use the relationship:
Velocity = wavelenght*frequency.
Initially we have:
wavelenght = 4.9m
velocity = 9.8m/s
then:
9.8m/s = 4.9m*f
f = 9.8m/s/4.9m = 2*1/s
now, if the velocity is doubled and the frequency remains the same, we have:
2*9.8m/s = wavelenght*2*1/s
wavelenght = (2*9.8m/s)*(1/2)s = 9.8 m
"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves. They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays. They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.
Being so short, they carry lots of energy. They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA. They're dangerous.
The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation. The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.
As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.
You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays. The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.
It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up. Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
Answer:
The Ring of Fire
Explanation:
The ring of fire is also called the Circum-Pacific Belt, it is a path along the pacific ocean consisting of active volcanoes and frequent earthquakes.
It has a length of approximately 40,000 kilometers. It lies on the edge of tectonic plates where the in-earth vibrations and geothermal energies are prone to erupt out.
Ring of fire inhibits about 75% o the earth's volcanoes and 95% of earthquakes occur in this region.
