Which of the following is true about light?

1 answer:

7 0

Light travels in waves AND in bundles called "photons".

It's hard to imagine something that's a wave and also a bundle.
But it turns out that light behaves like both waves and bundles.

If you design an experiment to detect waves, then it responds to light.

And if you design an experiment to detect 'bundles' or particles, then
that one also responds to light.

How could you prove that

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

An unconformity shows where some rock layers have been lost because of erosion. To date rock layers, geologists first give a relative age to a layer of rock at one location and then give the same age to matching layers at other locations. Certain fossils, called index fossils, help geologists match rock layers.

At the equator earth rotates with a velocity of about 465 m/s.

Dafna1 [17]

The given velocity is 465 m/s.

Part a.
$465 \, \frac{m}{s} =(465 \times 10^{-3} \, \frac{km}{s})*( 3600 \, \frac{s}{h} ) = 1674 \, \frac{km}{h}$
Answer: 1674 km/h

Part b.
$1674 \frac{km}{h} = (1674 \, \frac{km}{h})*(24 \, \frac{h}{day} ) = 40176 \, \frac{km}{day}$
Answer: 40,176 km/day.

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 545 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1777.92 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of asteroid = 545 km

M = Mass of planet

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2.9 m/s²

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gR^2}{G}$

The expression of escape velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2G}{R}\dfrac{gR^2}{G}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gR}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2.9\times 545000}\\\Rightarrow v=1777.92\ m/s$
