When an electron<span> is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of </span>energy<span> the photon was carrying and moves to a higher </span>energy<span> state. One way of thinking about this higher </span>energy<span> state is to imagine that the </span>electron<span> is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon).</span>

Sonar is used to map the ocean floor. if an ultrasonic signal is received 3.3 s after it is emitted, how deep is the ocean floor
Goryan [66]
The speed of sound in fresh water is 1482m/s. 
It says ocean floor, so we should a little bit more accurate, and use the fact that the speed of sound in salt water (that has no bubbles) is 1560m/s. 
speed = distance / time 
Therefore Distance = speed x time = 1560 x 3.3 = 5158m 
The sonar wave is sent out by the boat, reflected off the seafloor, and then is received back at the boat on the surface. So the distance 5148m is the distance from the boat to the sea bottom and then back up to the boat again. 
So the depth of the water is half this distance Depth of water = 5148/2=2574m

Both segments of the wire are made of the same metal. Current I1 flows into segment 1 from the left. How does current I1 in segm
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

current I1 = current I2

Explanation:

since the wire is made up of the same material, from Kirchoff's current law sum of currents entering a particular node or segment of wire is equals to the sum of currents leaving that particular node or segment of wire
