A light year is a unit of length that is used to espress distances that are astronomical. It is equivalent to 5.9 trillion miles or 9.5 quadrillion meters. Light year is defined by the distance a beam of light would travel in one year. One light year is equivalent to the distance that light would travel in vacuum on one Julian year or 365 days as defined by the IAU or the  International Astronomical Union. So, one light year is traveled for 1 year here on Earth. So, in order to drive to the alpha centauri, you would take about 4.4 years to do so.

If the period of the lowest-frequency sound you can hear is 0.050 s, then what is its frequency?
seropon [69]
The frequency of a sound wave or any wave for that matter is the reciprocal of the period. That is,
                                            f = 1/T
Substituting the known value of period,
                                            f = 1/(0.05 s) 
                                            f = 20 Hz
Thus, the frequency of the wave is equal to 20 Hz.

An underwater diver sees the sun 50° above horizontal. how high is the sun above the horizon to a fisherman in a boat above the
Usimov [2.4K]
Snell's law states that:

n1 Sin∅1 = n2 Sin ∅2

Where, medium 1 with (n1 = 1.33) is water and medium 2 with (n2 = 1) is the air, ∅1 = 90-50 = 40°

Therefore,
Sin ∅2 = n1/n2 *Sin ∅1 = 1.33/1 *Sin 40 = 0.4833=> ∅1 = Sin ^- (0.4833) = 28.9 °

The fisherman the sun at 61.1° (90-∅2) above the horizontal.
