Answer:
A=1
B=-2
Explanation:
Part A and B of the question wasn't given, however, I attached the relevant parts to solve this question as follows.
From part B as attached, it shows that the right option is C which is
2A+3B=-4
Substituting B with 3A-5 then we form the second equation as shown
2A+3(3A-5)=-4
By simplifying the above equation, we obtain
2A+9A-15=-4
Re-arranging, then
11A=-4+15
Finally
11A=11
A=1
To obtain B, we already know that 3A-5 so substituting the value of A into the above then we obtain
B=3(1)-5=-2
Therefore, required values are 1 and -2
Explanation:
Suppose you want to shine a flashlight beam down a long, straight hallway. Just point the beam straight down the hallway -- light travels in straight lines, so it is no problem. What if the hallway has a bend in it? You could place a mirror at the bend to reflect the light beam around the corner. What if the hallway is very winding with multiple bends? You might line the walls with mirrors and angle the beam so that it bounces from side-to-side all along the hallway. This is exactly what happens in an optical fiber.
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
However, some of the light signal degrades within the fiber, mostly due to impurities in the glass. The extent that the signal degrades depends on the purity of the glass and the wavelength of the transmitted light (for example, 850 nm = 60 to 75 percent/km; 1,300 nm = 50 to 60 percent/km; 1,550 nm is greater than 50 percent/km). Some premium optical fibers show much less signal degradation -- less than 10 percent/km at 1,550 nm.

Answer: the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
Explanation:
Given that;
diameter of the mirror d = 1.7 m
height h = 180 km = 180 × 10³ m
wavelength λ = 500 nm = 5 × 10⁻⁹ m
Now Angular separation from the peak of the central maximum is expressed as;
sin∅= 1.22 λ / d
sin∅ = (1.22 × 5 × 10⁻⁹) / 1.7
sin∅ = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷
we know that;
sin∅ = object separation / distance from telescope
object separation =
sin∅ × distance from telescope
object separation = 3.588 × 10⁻⁷ × 180 × 10³
object separation =6.45 × 10⁻² m
then we convert to centimeter
object separation = 6.45 cm
Therefore the minimum spacing that must be there between two objects on the earth's surface if they are to be resolved as distinct objects by this telescope 6.45 cm
