A shock absorbent mattress is built such that the boxspring
of the bed absorbs pressure that is exerted to the bed. Hence, if you jump on
the mattress, you would not bounce up and down as much as a normal mattress
because the springs do not oscillate much. This is done to endure wear and
tear.
Answer:
1234285.7 m or 1234.3 km
Explanation:
Let the distance be 
, the time taken by P waves be 
and the time taken by the S waves be 
.
For the P waves,
For the S waves,
Equating the ,
Divide both sides of the equation by 500 to reduce the terms.
Since S waves arrive 2 minutes (= 120 seconds) after P waves,
Substitute this in the equation of the distance.
Substitute this in the equation for involving .
Answer:
601 nm
Explanation:
Energy of photon having wavelength of λ nm
= 
eV
Energy of 249 nm photon
=
=4.996 eV
Similarly energy of 425nm photon
=
=2.927 eV
Difference = 2.069 eV.
This energy will give rise to another photon whose wavelength will be
λ = 
= 601 nm.
Answer:
Speed of the light in water= 225,000 km/s
Explanation:
At the speed with which light propagates through a homogeneous and transparent medium, it is a constant characteristic of that medium, and therefore, it changes from one medium to another.
Due to its enormous magnitude, the measurement of the speed of light has required the invention of ingenious procedures that will overcome the inconvenience of short land distances in relation to such extraordinary speed.
Astronomical methods and terrestrial methods have been giving ever closer results. At present, the value c = 299,792,458 km / s is accepted for the speed of light in a vacuum. In any transparent material medium the light propagates with a speed that is always lower than c. Thus, for example, in water it does so at around 75% of the speed of light in a vacuum: about 225,000 km / s.
