1. What year did the United States establish a global quota for immigrants

1 answer:

5 0

On May 26, 1924, the U.S. government enacted the eugenics-inspired Immigration Act of 1924, which completely prohibited immigration from Asia. The law reflected the desire of Americans to isolate themselves from the world after fighting World War I in Europe, which exacerbated growing fears of the spread of communist ideas. It also reflected the pervasiveness of racial discrimination in American society at the time.

Please 1) describe what is meant by the terms short-wave and long-wave energy, 2) name a specific type of electromagnetic energy

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

wavelength difference
ultraviolet, infrared
shortwave = Sun; longwave = Earth

Explanation:

The terms shortwave and longwave radiation refer to the wavelength of the radiation, which is the distance from the crest of one wave to the crest of another. The wavelength reflects the energy of the wave. Longwave radiation is less energetic, while shortwave has more energy. Longwave radiation has even longer wavelengths than red light in the visible spectrum, while ultraviolet radiation has wavelengths shorter even than the shortest violet visible light.
Ultraviolet is not the only kind of shortwave radiation; in fact, it is the shortwave radiation closest to visible light on the electromagnetic spectrum. X rays and gamma rays have far shorter wavelengths and thus are more energetic. Infrared radiation is the type of the longwave radiation that is closest to the visible spectrum. Radiation with much longer wavelengths than infrared light include microwaves and radio waves.
The Sun produces its own radiation since it is a body that is much more massive and with a much higher temperature than the Earth. Because of this, the radiation emitted from the Sun is mostly shortwave radiation. The Earth emits radiation as well, but it is infrared radiation emitted in the form of heat that is not visible to human eyes.

What is power?<br> i really need help on my geography

Degger [83]

Answer:

Resources rather refer to power over people and materials: it is more the capability to steer resources, not the actual physical 'having of' power. It is therefore more a subjective power then a objective power. you can define Power as 'a capability of transformation'
