At which position would a person on earth see the entire lighted half of the moon?

1 answer:

3 0

The best position for the person would be outside, under a clear sky, standing up. He should do it sometime between sunset and sunrise, from a day before until a day after the moment of Full Moon.

A stereo speaker produces a pure \"c\" tone, with a frequency of 262 hz. what is the period of the sound wave produced by the sp

jasenka [17]

Answer:

3.82 ms

Explanation:

The period of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the frequency:

$T=\frac{1}{f}$

where f is the frequency.

In this problem, f = 262 Hz, so the period if this sound wave is

$T=\frac{1}{262 Hz}=3.82\cdot 10^{-3} s=3.82ms$

How far can a person run in 13.22 minutes if he or she runs at an average speed of 12.33 km/hr?

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

2.72 km

Explanation:

(12.33 km)/ 1 hr * (1 hr)/ 60 min

0.2055 km/ min

distance=rate * time (assuming v is constant,

a=0)

(0.2055 km/ min)*(13.22 min)

2.72 km OR 2716.71 m

For a certain optical medium the speed of light varies from a low value of 1.90 × 10 8 m/s for violet light to a high value of 2

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

a. The refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56

b. 18.7° for violet light and 19.5° for red light.

c. 33.7° for violet light and 35.3° for red light.

Explanation:

a. The refractive index of an object is the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the object.

Mathematically,

$n = \frac{c}{v}$

The speed of violet light in the object is $1.9 * 10^8 m/s$ .

The speed of red light in the object is $2 * 10^8 m/s$

Hence, the refractive index for violet light is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{1.9 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.56$

and for red light, it is:

$n = \frac{3 * 10^8 }{2 * 10^8} \\\\n = 1.5$

Hence, the refractive index ranges from 1.5 - 1.56.

b. The refractive index is also the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction.

$n = \frac{sin(i)}{sin(r)}$

The angle of incidence is 30°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.56} = \frac{0.5}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3205\\\\r = 18.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(30)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(30)}{1.5} = \frac{0.5}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.3333\\\\r = 19.5^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 30°.

c. The angle of incidence is 60°.

The angle of refraction for violet light will be:

$1.56 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.56} = \frac{0.8660}{1.56} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5551\\\\r = 33.7^o$

And the angle of refraction for red light will be:

$1.5 = \frac{sin(60)}{sin(r)}\\ \\sin(r) = \frac{sin(60)}{1.5} = \frac{0.8660}{1.5} \\\\sin(r) = 0.5773\\\\r = 35.3^o$

The angle of refraction for red light is still larger than that of violet light when the angle of incidence is 60°.
