What feature best distinguishes one form of electromagnetic energy from another?
1 answer:
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).

Explanation:
To find Depth D of lake we must need to find the time taken to hit the water.So we use equation of simple motion as:
Δx=vit+(1/2)at²
As we have find the time taken now we need to find the final velocity vf from below equation as
So the depth of lake is given by:
first we need to find total time as
t=3.0-1.01 =1.99 s
