We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be

Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds

Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.

Reflected light from a thin film of oil gives constructive interference for light with a wavelength inside the film of λfilm. By
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:D. λfilm/4

Explanation: Destructive interference is a type of wave interference which means the coming together or over-lapping of two opposing waves creating No effect or the Cancellation of the wave impact. An example of destructive wave is when Noise cancel the effect of sound from a head phone.

The film thickness will need to be increased by λfilm/4 for it to be able to give a destructive interference.

1- ¿Cuál sería la energía de un objeto de 50 newton de peso que se encuentra sobre una estantería de 3 metros de altura? ¿Qué ti
Liula [17]

Responder:

<h3>150 Nm </h3><h3>Energía potencial </h3>

Explicación:

El tipo de energía que posee el objeto se conoce como energía potencial. <u>La energía potencial es la energía que posee un objeto, mi virtud de su posición. </u>

Energía potencial = masa * aceleración debido a la gravedad * altura

Dado que Force = masa * aceleración debido a la gravedad

Energía potencial = Fuerza * altura

Fuerza dada = 50N y altura = 3 m

Energía potencial = 50 * 3

Energía potencial = 150 Nm
