If the Sun suddenly went dark, we would not know it until its light stopped arriving on Earth. How long would that be, in second

s, given that the Sun is 1.50 × 1011 m away?

Answer: 500 s

Explanation:

Speed v is defined as a relation between the distance d and time t:

v=\frac{d}{t}

Where:

v=3(10)^{8}m/s is the speed of light in vacuum

d=1.5(10)^{11}m is the distance between the Earth and Sun

t is the time it takes to the light to travel the distance d

Isolating t:

t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{1.5(10)^{11}m}{3(10)^{8}m/s}

Finally:

t=500 s

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

n = 1,875

Explanation:

The speed of light in vacuum is constant (c) and in a material medium it is

          v = d / t

The refractive index of a material is defined by

         n = c / v

         

Let's look for the speed of light in the material, in general the length that light travels is known, this value is high, x = 1, when we place a block on the road, a small amount is lengthened by the length of the block, which in general is despised

These measurements are made on a digital oscilloscope that allows to stop the signals and measure their differences, that is, the zero is taken when the first ray arrives and the time for the second ray is measured,

         

         v = d / t

         v = 1 / 6.25 10⁻⁹

         v = 1.6 10⁸ m / s

we calculate the refractive index

        n = 3 10⁸ / 1.6 10⁸

        n = 1,875

A fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

Mathphys :( im sorry i annoy you
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

4. 7.59276

Explanation:

Add up the x components:

Aₓ + Bₓ + Cₓ = 5 − 1.6 + 2.4 = 5.8

Add up the y components:

Aᵧ + Bᵧ + Cᵧ = -2.4 + 3.3 + 4 = 4.9

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the magnitude:

√(x² + y²)

√(5.8² + 4.9²)

√57.65

A car is running at the speed of 45km/hr see a child 25 meter ahead and suddenly apllies a brakes. If the retradation of the car
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Calculate the energy of a photon emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from =7 to =1.
Harrizon [31]

1.549×10-19lJ is the energy of a photon emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom undergoes a transition from =7 to =1.

The equation E= hcE =hc, where h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light, describes the inverse relationship between a photon's energy (E) and the wavelength of light ().

The Rydberg formula is used to determine the energy change.

Rydberg's original formula used wavelengths, but we may rewrite it using units of energy instead. The result is the following.

aaΔE=R(1n2f−1n2i) aa

were

2.17810-18lJ is the Rydberg constant.

The initial and ultimate energy levels are ni and nf.

As a change of pace from

n=5 to n=3 gives us

ΔE

=2.178×10-18lJ (132−152)

=2.178×10-18lJ (19−125)

=2.178×10-18lJ×25 - 9/25×9

=2.178×10-18lJ×16/225

=1.549×10-19lJ
