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.

A. Blue light has higher energy than red light. Write 3 - 4 sentences comparing these electromagnetic waves with respect to the
frosja888 [35]

PART A)

As we know that energy of light depends on its wavelength and frequency as following formula

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = h\nu

now we know that wavelength of blue light is less than the red light so here energy of blue light will be more

also we know that

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda}

so here if wavelength is smaller for blue light so its frequency will be high and the speed of both light will be same in same medium

PART B)

Since we know that frequency of blue light is more than red light as well as wavelength of blue light is less than the wavelength of blue light so here blue light will have more energy

When blue light and red light strike the metal surface then due to more energy of blue light it will release some loosely bonded electrons from metal surface which will contribute in current.

here if we increase the intensity of light then the number of photons that contain the blue light of certain energy will be more and that will contribute more current

So here quantification help as we know that due to quantization only certain frequency or energy will lead to eject electron so all colours will not give this current

For the image of the overhead projector to be in focus, the distance from the projector lens to the image, <img src="https://tex
rjkz [21]
Given:
distance from the projector lens to the image, di
projector lens focal length, f
distance from the transparency to the projector lens, do

thin lens equation: 1/f = 1/di + 1/do
do = 4 inches
di = 8 feet

convert feet to inches, for uniformity.
1 foot = 12 inches
8 feet * 12 inches/ft = 96 inches
 
1/f = 1/96 inches + 1/4 inches

Adding fractions, denominator must be the same.

1/f = (1/96 * 1/1) + (1/4 * 24/24)
1/f = 1/96 + 24/96
1/f = 25/96

to find the value of f, do cross multiplication
1*96 = f * 25
96 = 25f
96/25 = f
3.84 = f

The focal length of the project lens is 3.84 inches

A car of mass 2400kg moving at 20 m/s slams into a cement wall and comes to a halt?
Brut [27]

Impulse = change in momentum

The car's momentum was (mass) x (speed)

Momentum = (2400 kg) x (20 m/s)

Momentum = 48,000 km-m/s

To completely stop the car, the impulse = -48,000 km-m/s .
