Answer

more powerful

Explanation
Electromagnetic waves are waves that do not require material medium for propagation. For example x-rays, UV and gamma rays.

From the wave equation, V= λf, when the wavelength is short the frequency is high.
Frequency determines the intensity of the wave. When high the frequencies are high the waves has more penetrating power, hence more powerful.

Jet streams are relatively narrow bands of strong wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere. the winds blow from west to east in jet streams but the flow often shifts to the north and south. jet streams follow the boundaries between hot and cold air. the earth's rotation is responsible for the jet stream as well.

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

Imagine that you have two balloons (or, better yet, actually inflate two balloons, if possible). create static electricity around one of the balloons by rubbing it against your hair or your sweater and then bring that balloon close to the other balloon, which has not been charged. try this with at least one other object—and for variety in the discussion, avoid using an object already described by your classmates. then, for your initial post to the discussion, answer the following questions: what happened with the two balloons?
