One of two 25-year-old identical twins begins a trip on a spaceship traveling at 0.8 c while her twin remains on Earth. The twin

on Earth tracks her twin's trip for 10 years. After ten years, what age is the twin on the spaceship according to the twin on Earth?

Answer:

This equation is based on twin paradox - a phenomena where one of the twin travels to space at a speed close to speed of light and the other remains on earth. the twin from the space on return discovers that the one on earth age faster.

Solution:

t_{o} = 10 years

v = 0.8c

c = speed of light in vacuum

The problem can be solved by time dilation equation:

t = \frac{t_{o}}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^{2}}{c^{2}}}}            (1)

where,

t = time observed from a different inertial frame

Now, using eqn (1), we get:

t = \frac{10}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.8c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}}

t = 16.67 years

The age of the twin on spaceship according to the one on earth = 25+16.67 =41.66 years

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

The wavelength of a light wave is 700 nm in air; this light appears red. If this wave enters a pool of water, its wavelength bec
hodyreva [135]

Answer

given,

wavelength of light in air = 700 nm

Wavelength of light in water = 530 nm

We know that speed of light changes when it moves from one medium to another.

And the frequency of the wavelength does not changes if the medium changes.

we also know that,

                                    v = ν λ

From the above equation we can say that if frequency is constant so, with the change in  velocity changes wavelength will also change.

Hence, wavelength is the property of the wave which determines color.
