How far does light travel in the time it takes sound to travel 1 cm in air at 20°c?

The speed of sound at 20^{\circ}C is approximately v=343 m/s. The distance covered by the sound wave is
s=1 cm=0.01 m
And the time it takes is
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{0.01 m}{343 m/s}=2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s

Now we want to find how far the light travels during this time. Light travels at speed c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, therefore the distance it covers during this time is
S=ct = (3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s)=8700 m

I think this is the best way to explain it
light from the sun takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel to Earth. So it would be the same if the Earth's light to travel to the sun. The sun is described to be a star.

Answer:

magnetic flux linkage includes number of turns, N while magnetic flux has no N

Since number of turns are not significant to units, they become similar.

How many significant digits are in the number 204.0920<br>​
monitta

Answer:

Seven

Explanation:

The rules for significant digits are:

  • Non-zero digits are always significant.
  • Zeros between significant digits are also significant.
  • Trailing zeros are significant only after a decimal point.

Here, the 2, 4, 9, and 2 are significant because they are non-zero digits.

The first two 0s are significant because they are between significant digits.

The last 0 is significant because it is a trailing zero after a decimal point.

Therefore, all seven digits are significant.
