Why are infrared waves located between microwaves and visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum?

1 answer:

3 0

Answer: The infra red waves is located between microwave and visible light based on their WAVELENGTH and FREQUENCY of occurrence.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are those waves that do not require or need a material medium for its propagation, but they are able to travel through a vacuum. They exhibit or show all properties associated or connected with light. They are undeflected in electric and magnetic fields. These electromagnetic waves are arranged in order of their FREQUENCY and WAVELENGTHS which is known as ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM.

FREQUENCY is defined as the number of cycles which the wave completes in one second and is measured in Hertz(Hz). While WAVELENGTH is defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of waves which is measured in meter (m).

The electromagnetic spectrum is made up of the following rays which is arranged from the biggest wavelengths to the smallest:

--> Radiowaves

--> microwave :

--> infrared rays:

--> visible light:

--> ultraviolet rays

--> x-rays and

--> Gamma rays.

According to the arrangement of the spectrum above, the microwave has a higher wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays, while the visible light has a lower wavelength and frequency than the infrared rays.

Which force is represented by the arrow at

shutvik [7]

A is pulling the block straight down toward the center of the Earth, no matter what the slope of the plane may be. A is the force of gravity.

The directions of B and C both depend on the slope of the plane.

B is a force that's parallel to the plane, pulling the block UP the plane. B is the force of friction.

C is a force perpendicular to the plane, preventing the block from falling down through the plane. C is the normal force.

The 4kg head of a sledge hammer is moving at 6m/s when it strikes a chisel, driving it into a log. The duration of the impact (o

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.

Explanation:

By Impact Theorem we know that impact done by the sledge hammer on the chisel is equal to the change in the linear momentum of the former. The mathematical model that represents the situation is now described:

$\bar F \cdot \Delta t = m \cdot (v_{2}-v_{1})$ (1)

Where:

$\bar F$ - Average impact force, in newtons.

$\Delta t$ - Duration of the impact, in seconds.

$m$ - Mass of the sledge hammer, in kilograms.

$v_{1}$ , $v_{2}$ - Initial and final velocity, in meters per second.

If we know that $\Delta t = 0.0020\,s$ , $m = 4\,kg$ , $v_{1} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$ and $v_{2} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}$ , then we estimate the average impact force is:

$\bar F = \frac{m\cdot (v_{2}-v_{1})}{\Delta t}$

$\bar F = 12000\,N$

The average impact force is 12000 newtons.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

increase.

Explanation:

According to the newton’s second law of motion force is expressed as product of mass and acceleration.

F = m a

If the force acting is constant, then.

m∝ $\frac{1}{a}$

That is if the mass of object increases the acceleration decreases and vice versa. The above equation is used when the force acting on the body is constant.

As the thrust force from the rocket engine is constant throughout there will be a variation in the mass or acceleration.

Thus, it won't stay the same.

As the weight of the car is maximum at the start because of the fuel present in the rocket engine and minimum at the end as the fuel burns throughout the journey of the car. Weight will be minimum at the end and hence acceleration is maximum at the end.

Thus, it won't decrease.

As the acceleration is going from minimum at the start to maximum at the end, therefore it is continuously increases throughout its journey.

Thus, it will increase.
