The table below shows two types of electromagnetic waves and three random applications of electromagnetic waves.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

a. Microwaves—3 and infrared waves—1

Explanation:

Microwaves and infrared waves are both part of the electromagnetic spectrum, but they have different frequency and wavelength.

In particular:

- Microwaves are long-wavelength electromagnetic waves, with wavelength between 1 mm and 1 m. Their wavelength is longer than visible light

- Infrared waves are also long-wavelength electromagnetic waves, but their wavelength is shorter than microwaves: between 700 nm and 1 mm. Their wavelength is also longer than visible light.

The two types of waves are also used for different purposes. In particular:

- Infrared waves are emitted by any hot object, and their intensity depends on the temperature of the object. Therefore, they are used in astronomy to show the heat released by astronomical objects (option 1)

- Microwaves are used to study the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). This is electromagnetic radiation that permeates the whole universe, and its wavelength depends inversely on the local temperature. Therefore, areas with longer wavelength have lower temperature, and viceversa. Therefore, microwaves are used to measure temperature differences in space (option 3).

An object is moving at a velocity of 3m/s. It accelerates to a velocity of 5.5m/s over a time of 9 s. What acceleration did it e
alexira [117]

Answer:

Acceleration(a) = \displaystyle\frac{v - u}{t}

v = final velocity = 5.5 m/s

u = initial velocity = 3 m/s

t = time = 9s

\displaystyle a = \frac{3-5.5}{9}

a = \displaystyle\frac{-2.5}{9}

a = -0.278 \ m/s^2 (approx)

The resistance of a light bulb that draws a current of 2 a when connected t a 12 v battery is?
8090 [49]

Explanation:

V = I *R

where:

V is the voltage

I is the current

R is the resistance

Rearranging, we have:

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{12}{2} =  ?
