Convert 5C° to F°.

53% Answer Correctly

37

41

-23

27


Solution

To convert from C° to F° use:

\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)

\(F° = {9 \over 5}(5) + 32\)

\(F° = {45 \over 5} + 32\)

\(F° = 9 + 32 = 41\)

Which of the following is the correct order for types of radiation from longest to shortest wavelength?

60% Answer Correctly

radio waves → visible light → gamma rays

microwaves → radio waves → visible light

visible light → ultraviolet light → radio waves

infrared waves → microwaves → ultraviolet light


Solution

The electromagnetic spectrum covers all possible wavelengths and frequencies of radiation.  From lowest frequency (longest wavelength) to highest frequency (shortest wavelength) radiation: radio waves → microwaves → infrared waves → visible light → ultraviolet light → X-rays → gamma rays.
