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.

How much heat does it take to raise the temperature of 10.0 kg of water by 1.0 C?
fomenos

Answer:The specific heat capacity of water is 4,200 joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C). This means that it takes 4,200 J to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1°C.

Puck 1 (1 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After th
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Puck 1, m = 1 kg

Mass of Puck 2, M = 1 kg

Initial velocity of Puck 1, u = 20 m/s

Initial velocity of Puck 2, U = 0 m/s

Final velocity of Puck 1, v = 5 m/s

Since we are told that momentum is conserved, we apply the principle of conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum of the system = Total final momentum of the system

mu + MU = mv + MV

(1 * 20) + (1 * 0) = (1 * 5) + (1 * V)

20 = 5 + V

V = 20 - 5 = 15 m/s

Puck 2 moves with a velocity of 15 m/s

Nucleus A decays into the stable nucleus B with a half-life of 22.07 s. At t=0 s there are 1,293 A nuclei and no B nuclei. At wh
Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

29.38 seconds

Explanation:

Half life, T = 22.07 s

No = 1293

Let N be the number of atoms left after time t

N = 1293 - 779 = 514

By the use of law of radioactivity

N=N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where, λ is the decay constant

λ = 0.6931 / T = 0.6931 / 22.07 = 0.0314 decay per second

so,

514=1293e^{-0.0314t}

2.5155=e^{0.0314t}

take natural log on both the sides

0.9225 = 0.0314 t

t = 29.38 seconds

How does momentum of a body change if its kinetic enerygy is doubled​
djyliett [7]

Explanation:

Momentum is directly proportional to velocity. If momentum of an object is doubled , but itsmass does not increase (so velocity remains below the speed of light) then its velocity isdoubled. If the velocity is doubled, then the kinetic energy increases by four times.
