How long does it take light ray B to reach the girls eye? (speed of light at 3*10^8) And could someone explain why?

Physics
1 answer:
kodGreya [7K]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Using properties of 30-60-90 triangles, the distance from the vase to the mirror is 2/√3, and the distance from the mirror to the girl is also 2/√3.  So the light travels a total distance of 4/√3 meters.

t = d / v

t = (4/√3 m) / (3×10⁸ m/s)

t = 7.7×10⁻⁹ s

Two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. If wave X has a greater frequency than wave Y
____ [38]

Answer:

Wave X has a shorter wavelength.

Explanation:

The relation between the speed of a wave, its wavelength and frequency is given by :

v=f\lambda

It can be seen that the relationship between the frequency and wavelength is inverse.

In this problem, it is mentioned that two sound waves (wave X and wave Y) are moving through a medium at the same speed. The frequency of wave X is greater than wave Y. Then it would mean that wave X have shorter wavelength than wave Y (due to inverse relation).

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north
