Frequency f =5×10^9Hz
Speed of radio waves=speed of light c =3×10^8m/s

Wavelength λ = c/f
= 3×10^8/5×10^9
= 0.06m

Two students, Nora and Allison, are both the same age when Allison hops aboard a flying saucer and blasts off to achieve a cruis

White raven [17]

Answer:

23.38 years

Explanation:

Speed of Allison = 0.83 c = v

Time passed according to Allison = Δt = 29.5 years

Time dilation

$\Delta t'=\frac{\Delta t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t'=\frac{29.5}{\sqrt{1-\frac{0.83^2c^2}{c^2}}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t'=\frac{29.5}{\sqrt{1-0.83^2}}\\\Rightarrow \Delta t'=52.88\ years$

For Nora 52.88 years would have passed

So, their age difference would be 52.88-29.5 = 23.38 years
