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.

Each of the following diagrams shows a spaceship somewhere along the way between Earth and the Moon (not to scale); the midpoint

djyliett [7]

Answer:

$F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3$

Where $F_i$ represent the force for each of the 5 cases $i -1,2,3,4,5$ presented on the figure attached.

Explanation:

For this case the figure attached shows the illustration for the problem

We have an inverse square law with distance for the force, so then the force of gravity between Earth and the spaceship is lower when the spaceship is far away from Earth.

Th formula is given by:

$F = G \frac{m_{Earth} m_{Spaceship}}{r^2}$

Where G is a constant $G = 6.674 x10^{-11} m^2/ (ks s^2)$

$m_{Earth}$ represent the mass for the earth

$m_{spaceship}$ represent the mass for the spaceship

$r$ represent the radius between the earth and the spaceship

For this reason when the distance between the Earth and the Spaceship increases the Force of gravity needs to decrease since are inversely proportional the force and the radius, and for the other case when the Earth and the spaceship are near then the radius decrease and the Force increase.

Based on this case we can create the following rank:

$F_5 >F_4>F_1 >F_2>F_3$

Where $F_i$ represent the force for each of the 5 cases $i -1,2,3,4,5$ presented on the figure attached.

All but two gaps within a set of Venetian blinds have been blocked off to create a double-slit system. These gaps are separated

Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Explanation:

separation between two gaps, d = 5 cm

angle between central and second order maxima, θ = 0.52°

use

d Sinθ = n λ

n = 2

0.05 x Sin 0.52° = 2 x λ

λ = 2.27 x 10^-4 m

λ = 226.9 micro metre

A ball traveling with an initial momentum of 5.1 kgm/s bounces off a wall and comes back in the opposite direction with a moment

Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Change in momentum=9.4kgm/s

Impulse=9.4kgm/s

Explanation:

Change in momentum=5.1-(-4.3)=5.1+4.3=9.4kgm/s

Impulse=Change in momentum

There impulse=9.4kgm/s

How did Dalton think atoms formed a new substance?

vivado [14]

Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass
