Radio telescopes beam radio waves into space. To calculate the speed of the radio waves in space, which information, if any, is

necessary?
Physics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No more information is needed

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.

Why do we see the color black?
Inessa [10]
We see black colour in absence of light. Black colour absoorbs all the light, ( just opposite of white) and hence we do not see any colour. Black colour is also related to darkness.

Which of the following concepts best explains why a mass of low-density material in the mantle rises?Multiple Choice Strain Buoy
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

Bouyancy

Explanation:

Bouyancy occurs when the upthrust exerted on an object is equal to the weight of object displaced. It is mostly applicable to low density objects for example balloon. When balloon is displaced in water, it floats. This is due to the effect of the upthrust acting on the balloon which allows the balloon to float and which is opposite the weight.

Note that the weight acts downwards the object while the upthrust always acts opposite (upward)

If two people standing on a scooter board push off of each other what happens ( Newton’s 3rd law )
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:They will go off in opposite directions with the same force.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. If two people are standing on a scooter and push off each other (following the Law), it should come to the conclusion that they could go off in opposite with the same force.

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is ________.
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. transparent.

Explanation:

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is <u>transparent.</u>

A transparent material allows light to pass through them with little or no resistance enabling them see-through. A material that transmits nearly all the light rays that pass through it because it offers little resistance to the light is TRANSPARENT. Examples of transparent materials are water,  glass (flint and crown), air, and diamond.

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
solong [7]
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.
