Answer:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies (the spectrum) of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths and photon energies. The electromagnetic spectrum covers electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from below one hertz to above 10²⁵ hertz, corresponding to wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atomic nucleus. This frequency range is divided into separate bands, and the electromagnetic waves within each frequency band are called by different names; beginning at the low frequency (long wavelength) end of the spectrum these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays at the high-frequency (short wavelength) end. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. There is no known limit for long wavelengths, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length. Extreme ultraviolet, soft X-rays, hard X-rays and gamma rays are classified as ionizing radiation as their photons have enough energy to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Exposure to these rays can be a health hazard, causing radiation sickness, DNA damage and cancer. Radiation of visible light wavelengths and lower are called nonionizing radiation as they cannot cause these effects.

The precautions that must be taken when carrying out experiments with hydrogen gas

ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Never smoke near a place where hydrogen is generated or being used. Remove all possible sources of flame and sparks. Hydrogen should only be generated and used in a well ventilated out door area. Precautions must be taken to remove all possibilities of fire or explosion.

A thin-walled sphere rolls along the floor. What is the ratio of its translational kinetic energy to its rotational kinetic ener

ICE Princess25 [194]

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of translation

$E_1=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

m= mass v= linear velocity

The kinetic energy of rotation

$E_2=\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

I= MOI of the thin walled sphere =kmR^2

where ω= v/R= angular velocity

$E_2=\frac{1}{2}kmR^2\frac{v}{R}^2$

Then

$\frac{E_1}{E_2} = \frac{0.5mv^2}{0.5kmR^2\frac{v}{R}^2 }$

=1/k

solid sphere: k=0.4; E1/E2 =1/0.4 = 2.5;

hollow sphere: k=2/3; E1/E2 = 1.5

Enter your answer in the box provided. How many grams of helium must be added to a balloon containing 6.24 g helium gas to doubl

Archy [21]

Answer : The mass of helium gas added must be 12.48 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of helium (He) gas = 6.24 g

Molar mass of helium = 4 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of helium gas.

$\text{Moles of }He=\frac{\text{Mass of }He}{\text{Molar mass of }He}=\frac{6.24g}{4g/mole}=1.56moles$

Now we have to calculate the moles of helium gas at doubled volume.

According to the Avogadro's law, the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas at same pressure and temperature. That means,

$V\propto n$
