-A photon travels, on average, a particular distance, d, before being briefly absorbed and released by an atom, which scatters it in a new random direction.
-Given d and the speed of light, c, you can figure out the average time step and space step size (how often the photon “steps” and how far it “steps” each time).
-The size of the Sun is figured in terms of step size. Some surprisingly tricky math happens, involving “Brownian motion” and probabilities. Finally,
-The average time it would take to get to the surface of the Sun is found.
Distance is 50 km
Displacement is 10 km
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Distance toward south, x = 25 km
Distance towards west, y = 10 km
Distance towards north, z = 15 km
(a) Total distance, D = ?
Total distance, D = x + y + z
D = 25 + 10 + 15
D = 50km
(b) Displacement, d = ?
Displacement = final position - initial position
= 10 - 0 km
= 10km
The answer is d.... Knife.
