Answer:

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Explanation:

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{8}km

speed of light = 3* 10^{8}m/s

convert the distance unit from km to m so we can have uniform units.

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 *10^{8}*1000m

distance between earth and sun = 1.5 * 10^{11}m

speed = distance /time

time = distance / speed

time = \frac{1.5*10^{11} }{3*10^{8} }

= 0.5*10^{3}

time =500 sec

time = 500/60 minutes

time = 8.3333 minutes.

Light rays bend as they pass from air into water at an angle (not 90 degrees). this is refraction. air water normal incident ray
xxTIMURxx [149]

When light ray pass from air into water, its speed and wavelength change only the frequency of the light doesn't change.

Light travels slower in a medium of higher refractive index. It bends because of this change in speed. The wavelength of light also changes in order to maintain the constant frequency.

Technician A says that the diameter of a bolt is the same as the wrench size used to remove or install the fastener. Technician
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

Neither Technician A or B

Explanation:

Both technicians are wrong. The diameter of bolt is not based on the top where wrench used, but on the smaller part below, it called shanks. Wrench size also not based on the top diameter but the width across the flat. The calculation for the length of a bolt also will not include the top/head, it only includes the shanks.

goldenfox [79]

a) 0.321 ly

b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
