Is it possible for one ray to be shorter in length than another?

Physics

Yes, even light rays can vary in wavelength and frequency, if the length of the ray is sorter, it becomes more energetic and has a higher frequency. If you're talking about a ray tracing diagram for lenses or mirrors, the length of the ray doesn't really matter unless you're finding the path length but there are some procedures for that too. Let me know if I missed what you were asking.

Charge q is accelerated starting from rest up to speed v through the potential difference V. What speed will charge q have after
adoni [48]

Answer: v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s

Explanation: q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^{-19} c

mass of an electronic charge = 9.10 * 10^{-31} kg

V= potential difference = 4V

v = velocity of electron

by using the work- energy theorem which states that the kinetic energy of the the electron must equal the work done use in accelerating the electron.

kinetic energy = \frac{mv^{2} }{2},  potential energy = qV

hence, \frac{mv^{2} }{2} = qV

\frac{9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2}  }{2} = 1.609 * 10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\\\9.10*10^{-31}  * v^{2} = 2 * 1.609 *10^{-16} * 4\\\\\\9.10 *10^{-31} * v^{2} = 1.287 *10^{-15} \\\\v^{2} = \frac{1.287 *10^{-15} }{9.10 *10^{31} } \\\\v^{2} = 1.414*10^{15} \\\\v = \sqrt{1.414*10^{15} } \\\\v = 1.19 * 10^{6} m/s

The next four questions refer to the situation below.
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

 t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} t_{in},      t_{out} = \frac{D}{v_s +v_r}

Explanation:

This in a relative velocity exercise in one dimension,

let's start with the swimmer going downstream

its speed is

         v_{sg 1} = v_{sr} + v_{rg}

The subscripts are s for the swimmer, r for the river and g for the Earth

with the velocity constant we can use the relations of uniform motion

           v_{sg1} = D / t_{out}

           D = v_{sg1}  t_{out}

now let's analyze when the swimmer turns around and returns to the starting point

        v_{sg 2} =  v_{sr}  - v_{rg}

         v_{sg 2} = D / t_{in}

         D = v_{sg 2}  t_{in}

with the distance is the same we can equalize

           v_{sg1} t_{out} = v_{sg2} t_{in}

          t_{out} =  t_{in}

           t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} t_{in}

This must be the answer since the return time is known. If you want to delete this time

            t_{in}= D / v_{sg2}

we substitute

            t_{out} = \frac{v_s - v_r}{v_s+v_r} ()

            t_{out} = \frac{D}{v_s +v_r}
