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

1 answer:

8 0

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 rock is dropped from the top of a vertical cliff and takes 3.00 s to reach the ground below the cliff, A second rock is thrown

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

12.25m/s

Explanation:

$d=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Since the initial velocity of the dropped rock is 0, you can write this as:

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)(3)^2=44.1m$

Now, you can set up the equation for the thrown rock:

$44.1=v_o(2)+\dfrac{1}{2}(9.8)(2)^2 \\\\\\44.1=2v_o+19.6 \\\\\\2v_o=24.5 \\\\\\v_o=12.25m/s$

Hope this helps!
