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

Physics

dangina [55]3 years ago

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.

Andreyy89

Answer:

Explanation:

When the positively charged half shell is brought in contact with the electroscope, its needle deflects due to charge present on the shell.

When the negatively charged half shell is brought in contact with the positively charged shell , the positive and negative charge present on each shell neutralises each other  .So both the shells lose their charges .The positive half shell also loses all its charges

When we separate the half shells , there will be no deflection  in the electroscope because both the shell have already lost their charges and they have become neutral bodies . So they will not be able to produce any deflection in the electroscope.

A skier is accelerating down a 30.0-degree hill at 3.80 m/s^2.
Bond [772]

Answer:

ax = -3.29[m/s²]

ay = -1.9[m/s²]

Explanation:

We must remember that acceleration is a vector and therefore has magnitude and direction.

In this case, it is accelerating downwards, therefore for a greater understanding we will make a diagram of said vector, this diagram is attached.

a_{x}=-3.8*cos(30) = -3.29 [m/s^{2}]\\ a_{y}=-3.8*sin(30) = -1.9 [m/s^{2}]
