The family of electromagnetic waves ranges from the Long Radio waves to the gama rays.
All of that contain electromagnetic energy and move at the speed of light.
But what distinguish one from another is their wavelengh.
Or, if you like, its counterpart: their frequency. (as can be seen in the equation c = λ . f where c is the speed of light, λ is the wavelengh and f is the frequency).
The shorter the wavelengh (the greater the frequency) more powerful (more energy it contains) is the electromagnetic wave.
From all the different kinds of electromagnetic waves of the spectrum, the less powerful (less energetic) are the Long Radio waves (λ in metres) and the more powerful ones are the gama rays (λ in
m).

Answer:
The average speed is 10,082
Explanation:
Do the formula
Distance * time = speed
2840 * 3.55
= 10,082
When you sort the ranges of EM waves from lowest to highest frequency, the visible light range is just higher than infrared (think "below red") and just lower than ultraviolet (think "above violet").
Choice E.
Answer:
774.8 secs
Explanation:
distance(d)= speed(v)* time(t)
calculate speed:
refractive index = speed of light (c)/ speed of light in medium (v)
1.56 = 3*10^8*v
v=192307692.3 m/s
d = v *t
t = d/v
on substituting values:
t = 774.8 secs
The correct answer is
"As the distance from the earth increases, the gravitational pull on the spaceship would decrease."
In fact, the gravitational force (attractive) exerted by the Earth on the spaceship is given by

where G is the gravitational constant, M the Earth's mass, m the mass of the spaceship and d the distance of the spaceship from the Earth. As we can see from the formula, as the distance d between the spaceship and the Earth increases, the gravitational force F decreases, so answer D) is the correct one.
