La velocidad de la luz en el vacío es c= 3000.000 km\s la luz del sol tarda en llegar a la tierra 8 minutos y 14 segundos

ehidna [41]

La velocidad correcta de la luz en el vacío es 300.000 km/s .

La distancia = (velocidad) x (duración de tiempo)

Duración de tiempo = 494 segundos, porque cada minuto = 60 segundos

La distancia = (300.000 km/s) x (494 s)

La distancia = 148.200.000 km

In a physics lab, light with a wavelength of 530 nm travels in air from a laser to a photocell in a time of 16.7 ns . When a sla

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength of light in the air, $\lambda=530\times 10^{-9}\ m$

time taken to travel from the source to the photocell via air, $t=16.7\ s$

time taken to reach the photocell via air and glass slab, $t'=21.3\times 10^{-9}\ s$

thickness of the glass slab, $x=0.87\ m$

Now we have the relation for time:

$\rm time=\frac{distance}{speed}$

hence,

$t=\frac{d}{c}$

c= speed of light in air

$16.7\times 10^{-9}=\frac{d}{3\times 10^8}$

$d=16.7\times 10^{-9}\times 3\times 10^8$

$d=5.01\ m$

For the case when glass slab is inserted between the path of light:

$\frac{(d-x)}{c} +\frac{x}{v} =t'$ (since light travel with the speed c only in the air)

here:

v = speed of light in the glass

$\frac{(5.01-0.87)}{3\times 10^8} +\frac{0.87}{v} =21.3\times 10^{-9}$

$v=4.42\times 10^7\ m.s^{-1}$

Using Snell's law:

$\frac{\lambda}{\lambda'} =\frac{c}{v}$

$\frac{530}{\lambda'} =\frac{3\times 10^8}{4.42\times 10^7}$

$\lambda'=78.086\ nm$

A 6.4-N force pulls horizontally on a 1.5-kg block that slides on a smooth horizontal surface. This block is connected by a hori

Elena L [17]

-- Although it's not explicitly stated in the question,we have to assume that
the surface is frictionless. I guess that's what "smooth" means.

-- The total mass of both blocks is (1.5 + 0.93) = 2.43 kg. Since they're
connected to each other (by the string), 2.43 kg is the mass you're pulling.

-- Your force is 6.4 N.
Acceleration = (force)/(mass) = 6.4/2.43 m/s²
 That's about 2.634 m/s² 

(I'm going to keep the fraction form handy, because the acceleration has to be
used for the next part of the question, so we'll need it as accurate as possible.)

-- Both blocks accelerate at the same rate. So the force on the rear block (m₂) is

Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.93) x (6.4/2.43) = 2.45 N.

That's the force that's accelerating the little block, so that must be the tension
in the string.

NASA developed a reflective foil barrier to help shield spacecraft from heat transfer in space. These reflective barriers are no

morpeh [17]

Answer: Radiation

Explanation: Radiation is the energy that comes from a source in form of electromagnetic waves, subatomic particles, light, or heat which travels through space.

Examples of radiation include the light, heat, and particles emitted from the Sun.

Using a foil barrier to prevent heat transfer is possible because foil has a silver color, and silver reflects light and heat instead of absorbing them. This is the opposite of black surfaces that absorb heat.

So in homes where these foil reflective barriers are used, the transfer of heat through Radiation is highly reduced.
