Explanation:

<h3>Explanation:Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Other forms of electromagnetic radiation include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet rays, X-rays, and gamma rays. ... The only difference between them is their wavelength, which is directly related to the amount of energy the waves carry.</h3>

The burning of a log releases the logs chemical_energy into other forms of energy

saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

Why is gravity an example of a scientific law?

valina [46]

Because a sxientific law is always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements. And so that is why gravity always applies under the same conditions, and implies that there is a causal relationship involving its elements.

Answer:

nonmetals

Explanation:

Ionic compounds generally form between elements that are metals and elements that are nonmetals. For example, the metal calcium (Ca) and the nonmetal chlorine (Cl) form the ionic compound calcium chloride (CaCl2).

What do radio waves and gamma rays have in common?

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

A - They are both electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic fields, that vibrate in a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (for this reason, they are said to be "transverse waves").

Electromagnetic waves, unlike mechanical waves, can travel through a vacuum, and do not need a medium to propagate. Their speed in a vacuum is a constant and it is called speed of light ( $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ ).

Electromagnetic waves are classified, depending on their wavelength and frequency, into 7 different types - together they form the electromagnetic spectrum. The 7 types, listed from shortest to longest wavelength, are:

gamma rays

X-rays

ultraviolet radiation

visible light

infrared radiation

microwaves

radio waves

All these waves, despite having different properties, are all electromagnetic waves -so we see that both radio waves and gamma rays belong to this type of waves.
