Answer:
Transverse
Explanation:
There are two types of waves, according to the direction of their oscillation:
- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the direction of the oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of transverse waves are electromagnetic waves
- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the direction of the oscillation is parallel to the direction of motion of the wave. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.
Light waves corresponds to the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which includes all the different types of electromagnetic waves (which consist of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields that are perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave): therefore, they are transverse waves.
Part 1
When the solar atmosphere accumulates a lot of magnetic energy
to a point that cannot accumulate more, all that magnetic energy is suddenly released,
and with it, a lot of radiation. So much, that in fact it covers all of the
electromagnetic spectrum; from radio waves to gamma rays. That burst of
radiation is called a solar flare. In a single solar flare the amount of
radiation released is millions of times greater than all the nuclear bombs in
the face if the earth exploding together. Lucky for us, most of the high-energy
radiation dissipates before reaching the Earth, and the radiation that do reach
us, is deflected by the Earth’s magnetic field.
Part 2
1. Not all the radiation
of solar flares that reach the Earth is deflected by its magnetic field; some
of them reach us and charges the upper atmosphere with ionized particles. Those
particles react with the gases in the atmosphere and produce a light; that
light is what we call Auroras borealis or southern nights; One the most beautiful
natural spectacles in earth, who thought Auroras begin their lives as deadly
solar flares.
2. Solar flares
contain a lot of high-energy radiation that is extremely dangerous for our
electronic devices; when they reach the Earth, they can damage sensible
electronics like satellites. A very powerful solar flare could even damage all
the electronic devices on the surface of the Earth.
Answer:
D. 2.8 × 10⁹ N
Explanation:
The force between two charges is directly proportional to the amount of charges at the two points and inversely proportional to the square of distance between the two points.
Fe= k Q₁Q₂/r²
Q₁= -0.0045 C
Q₂= -0.0025 C
r= 0.0060 m
k= 9.00 × 10 ⁹ Nm²/C²
Fe= (9.00 × 10 ⁹ Nm²/C²×-0.0045 C×-0.0025 C)/0.0060²
=2.8 × 10⁹ N
Answer:
Explanation:
Work done in carrying bricks
mgh
= 207 x 9.8 x 3.65
-= 7404.4 J
Work done in compressing gas
PΔV
Pressure x change in volume
1.8 x 10⁶ ΔV = 7404.4
ΔV = 7404.4 / 1.8 x 10⁶m³
= 4113.33 x 10⁻⁶ m³
= 4113.33 cc
Answer:
2) Signal #2 is a digital signal that transmits signals in segments/intervals.
Explanation:
Signals are form of information propagating from the source to a display unit for appropriate interpretation. It can be either in a digital or analogue form.
A digital signal is a definite signal which is discrete in time and amplitude. It is mostly in the form of codes obtained from set of values. Graphically it transmits in the form of 1 and 0, showing a point of maximum amplitude (1) and minimum amplitude (0).
Analog signal is continuous signal describing the variation of two variables with respect to time.
