I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.
This is what I'm getting
--------------------------------------
c = speed of light
c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately
This is roughly 300 million meters per second
The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.
distance = rate*time
d = r*t
d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)
d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)
d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)
d = 21.0 x 10^10
d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10
d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)
d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters
d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)
Answer:
White light viewed through a prism is an example of a visible spectrum.
Complete Question
One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. Having recently studied optics in your physics class, you're not too surprised to see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. It appears that the central maximum is about 2 cm across, and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 5 m.
Required:
Estimate the diameter of the pinhole.
Answer:
The diameter is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The central maxima is 
The distance from the window shade is 
The average wavelength of the sun is mathematically evaluated as

Generally the visible light spectrum has a wavelength range between 400 nm to 700 nm
So the initial wavelength of the sun is 
and the final wavelength is 
Substituting this into the above equation


The diameter is evaluated as

substituting values


Answer:
1.17 m
Explanation:
From the question,
s₁ = vt₁/2................ Equation 1
Where s₁ = distance of the reflecting object for the first echo, v = speed of the sound in air, t₁ = time to dectect the first echo.
Given: v = 343 m/s, t = 0.0115 s
Substitute into equation 1
s₁ = (343×0.0115)/2
s₁ = 1.97 m.
Similarly,
s₂ = vt₂/2.................. Equation 2
Where s₂ = distance of the reflecting object for the second echo, t₂ = Time taken to detect the second echo
Given: v = 343 m/s, t₂ = 0.0183 s
Substitute into equation 2
s₂ = (343×0.0183)/2
s₂ = 3.14 m
The distance moved by the reflecting object from s₁ to s₂ = s₂-s₁
s₂-s₁ = (3.14-1.97) m = 1.17 m
