Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 1RCQ
What is the principal difference between a radio wave and light? Between light and an X-ray?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The principal difference between a radio wave and light and light and X-ray.
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with low frequency compared to the light waves and the X-rays are electromagnetic waves with high frequency compared to the light waves.
Explanation of Solution
Vibrating Electric fields and magnetic fields together creates electromagnetic fields.
The electromagnetic waves in a frequency which is visible by Human eyes are called visible lights.
The light waves and radio waves are electromagnetic waves with different frequencies. The radio waves are low frequency, low energy waves compared to the light waves.
The X-rays are electromagnetic waves with high frequency and high energy waves compared to the light waves.
Conclusion:
Radio waves are electromagnetic waves with low frequency compared to the light waves and the X-rays are electromagnetic waves with high frequency compared to the light waves.

- 13.87 ... Interplanetary Navigation. The most efficient way to send a spacecraft from the earth to another planet is by using a Hohmann transfer orbit (Fig. P13.87). If the orbits of the departure and destination planets are circular, the Hohmann transfer orbit is an elliptical orbit whose perihelion and aphelion are tangent to the orbits of the two planets. The rockets are fired briefly at the depar- ture planet to put the spacecraft into the transfer orbit; the spacecraft then coasts until it reaches the destination planet. The rockets are then fired again to put the spacecraft into the same orbit about the sun as the destination planet. (a) For a flight from earth to Mars, in what direction must the rockets be fired at the earth and at Mars: in the direction of motion, or opposite the direction of motion?
