Answer: contain different amounts of energy
Explanation:
The energy of a photon is given by:
Where:
is the Planck constant
is the frequency of the light which is inversely related to the wavelength.
Now, if we have photons of different light waves, this means we have photons with different frequencies.
As the energy of the photon depends on its frequency:
Photons of different light waves <u>contain different amounts of energy.</u>
Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).
Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.
Use the distance swan and the time elapsed in that interval.
Average velocity = distance / time
Average velocity = [4.0 m + 3.0m] / 3.2 s = 2.1875 m/s
Answer:
32cm³
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Density of substance = 2.7g/cm³
Mass of substance = 86.4g
Unknown:
Volume of substance = ?
Solution:
Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.
Density =
Since the unknown is volume we solve for it;
mass = density x volume
86.4 = 2.7 x volume
volume = = 32cm³
