Chapter 6, Problem 1RQ
To determine

Does the light include radio waves or not.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 1RQ

Yes light include radio waves because, both light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves.

Explanation of Solution

Light is an electromagnetic wave. It is composed of electric and magnetic components. These components are vibrating perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.

Light is part of a spectrum of electromagnetic energy that include radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light, ultraviolet light, X- ray and gamma rays.

Radio waves lie at the longer end of the spectrum of the electromagnetic energy. Visible light is simply electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths that our eyes are sensitive to. Ultraviolet light is shorter wavelengths than visible light.

Conclusion:

Therefore, both the light and radio waves are electromagnetic waves.

Hi,  Does Quantum physics theory means all branches for example quantum relativity, Quantum mechanics, Quantum field theory, and string theory? Can you explain each one of them? Best
Dear Scientist in physics , How are doing, my name is Yahya from Saudi Arabia and currently in my first semester to pursue Master's degree in physics. I have been watching all interviews of some scientists in physics on YouTube Channel and somthing has got my mind. I studied my bachelor 's degree in biology and I have been contacting Professor's Bruce Lipton many times and he explained epigenatic well. He was talking about physics many times. He said if you want to understand who we are and how we think, you need to understand Physics well. So I have decided to study physics. I have some questions : Why is the community of physics are divided? What is the difference between Quantum physics, quantum field theory, Quantim theory, and classical physics? What is quantum consciousness theory as well. What do they mean by wave function collapse? Why professor Roger's always has another opinions in quantum consciousness theory?? Best Regards,  Yahya
Given water's mass of 18g/mole and the value of the fundamental charge (charge magnitude of the electron and proton), use the largest charge density from the article to determine what fraction of water molecules became ionized (charged) due to triboelectric effects when it flows through the material that causes the largest charge transfer.  Give your answer in e/molecule, or electrons transferred per molecule of water.  For instance, a value of 0.2 means only one in five molecules of water loses an electron, or that 0.2=20% of water molecules become charged
