Answer:
New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm
Explanation:
Resistance = resistivity * length /area
Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.
New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4
Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4
The ratio of new area / old area is :
Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:
Resistance decreases by 9 times.
So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm
New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm (decreases by 9 times)
Answer:
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves.
Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.
All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:
Electromagnetic waves are classified into 7 different types, according to their wavelength/frequency. From shortest to longest wavelength (and so, from highest to lowest frequency), we have:
Gamma rays
X rays
Ultraviolet
Visible light
Infrared radiation
Microwaves
Radio waves
Now we can analyze the 4 statements:
X-rays and radio waves are both forms of light, or electromagnetic radiation --> TRUE. They are both types of electromagnetic waves.
X-rays have higher frequency than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays have shorter wavelengths than radio waves. --> TRUE, as we can see from the table above.
X-rays travel through space faster than radio waves. --> FALSE: all electromagnetic waves travel in space at the same speed, the speed of light.
