The Answer is C. the distance light travels in a year
RUDIKE [14]3 years ago

A light-year is the distance light travels in a year.

Light year is often confused with length of time but it is actually the distance. The distance light travels in one year is called one light year.

we know that , speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

time of a year in seconds = 3.15 x 10⁷ s

distance traveled by light is given as

distance = speed of light x time in year in sec

distance = (3 x 10⁸) x (3.15 x 10⁷)

distance = 9.5 x 10¹⁵ m

The tension has to hold the part of the weight in the direction of the string:

T = mg*cos(theta)

Theta=0, whole weight, theta=90, T=0, if the pendulum is horizontal, the string will be loose! Yeah

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The answer is "1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m".

Explanation:

w=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{D}\\\\D=\frac{2.44 \lambda L}{w}\\\\

   =\frac{2.44 \times 633 \times 10^{-9}\times 4 }{0.054}\\\\=\frac{6178.08\times 10^{-9}}{0.054}\\\\=1.144 \times 10^{-4} \ m
