Which part of earths surface has the greatest rotational speed

Physics
1 answer:
Anni [7]3 years ago
6 0
Every point on the surface must have the same rotational speed.
Otherwise some places would rotate away from other places.

If the next block of your city rotated faster than the block that you live on,
then you could sit at home, look out the window, and watch your school
rotate past your house.

The map of the continents on the Earth would change constantly.

Consider an optical cavity of length 40 cm. Assume the refractive index is 1, and use the formula for Icavity vs wavelength to p
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Diode Lasers  

Consider a InGaAsP-InP laser diode which has an optical cavity of length 250  

microns. The peak radiation is at 1550 nm and the refractive index of InGaAsP is  

4. The optical gain bandwidth (as measured between half intensity points) will  

normally depend on the pumping current (diode current) but for this problem  

assume that it is 2 nm.  

(a) What is the mode integer m of the peak radiation?  

(b) What is the separation between the modes of the cavity? Please express your  

answer as Δλ.  

(c) How many modes are within the gain band of the laser?  

(d) What is the reflection coefficient and reflectance at the ends of the optical  

cavity (faces of the InGaAsP crystal)?  

(e) The beam divergence full angles are 20° in y-direction and 5° in x-direction  

respectively. Estimate the x and y dimensions of the laser cavity. (Assume the  

beam is a Gaussian beam with the waist located at the output. And the beam  

waist size is approximately the x-y dimensions of the cavity.)  

Solution:  

(a) The wavelength λ of a cavity mode and length L are related by  

n

mL

λ = , where m is the mode number, and n is the refractive index.  

So the mode integer of the peak radiation is

(c) Since the optical gain bandwidth is 2nm and the mode spacing is 1.2nm, the  

bandwidth could fit in two possible modes.

Give an example of how the apparent motion of an object depends on the observers motion
QveST [7]
In a moving car the outside looks to be moving. however if viewed from the outside, the car appears to be moving. so motion is relative to the person observing.

How do flower petals help a flowering plant reproduce?
Verdich [7]
<span>the flower of a plant will attract an animal such as a bee that will take the pollen from the plant and transmit it to another plant. this shows that flowers help plant reproduce as they will attract an animal that will carry reproductive material to another plant</span>
