A device known as an optical resonator is used in lasers. An optical resonator consists of an arrangement of mirrors that reflec

t electromagnetic radiation back and forth within an empty cavity. The electromagnetic radiation within the cavity reflects off of the mirrors multiple times. The mirrors are precisely placed so that only particular frequencies can survive within the cavity via constructive interference. All other frequencies are suppressed via destructive interference. The end result is a beam of light of a certain frequency.
An optical resonator of the type described above depends on the tendency of light to
A. behave as a wave.
B. excite atoms to certain energy levels.
C. excite electrons to certain energy levels.
D. behave as a particle.

Answer:

A. The resonator behaves as a wave guide (a hollow pipe used as a transmission line). The characteristics of the pipe depend on the type of the wave to be transmitted.

weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Time taken by light = 4.5 years

Time taken by ship = 5 years

Speed of light = c

Speed of ship (v) = 90% of c = 0.9c

Find:

Time according to earth clock (T0) = ?

Computation:

Time dilation is ,

T(Difference) = \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ (5-4.5)= \frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2} } }\\\\ 0.5=\frac{T0}{\sqrt{1-0.81} }\\\\T0 =0.2179

Time according to earth clock (T0) = 0.22 years (Approx)

Two stars of masses M and 6M are separated by a distance D. Determine the distance (measured from M) to a point at which the net
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

0.29D

Explanation:

Given that

F = G M m / r2

F = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

G Mm/r2 = GM(6m) / (D-r)2

1/r2 = 6 / (D-r)2

r = D / (Ö6 + 1)

r = 0.29 D

A cement block accidentally falls from rest from the ledge of a 53.0-m-high building. When the block is 14.0 m above the ground,
katrin [286]

Answer:

0.405 seconds

Explanation:

Consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 14 m above the ground; then consider the amount of time it takes the block to fall from 53 m up to 2 m above  the ground.

First,     d = (1/2) gt^2    or     t=   ( 2 d / g)^1/2

= ( 2 × 39 / 9.8)^1/2 = 2.8212 seconds

Then, to fall from 53 down to 2 meters...

 d = (1/2) gt^2    or     t=   ( 2 d / g)^1/2

= ( 2 * 51/ 9.8 )^1/2 = 3.2262 seconds

So the amount of time it takes for the block to fall from 14 m upto 2 m above the ground

3.2262 - 2.8212 = 0.405 seconds      

this is how much time there is from when the man sees the block until it hits him. Not much time...

a0.155 kg arrow is shot from ground level, upward at 31.4 m/s. what is its kinetic energy (ke) when it is 30.0 m above the groun
swat32

The kinetic energy (KE) of a 0.155 kg arrow that is shot from ground level, upward at 31.4 m/s, when it is 30.0 m above the ground is 30.85 J

Assuming air friction is negligible,

a = - 9.8 m / s²

u = 31.4 m / s

s = 30 m

v² = u² + 2 a s

v² = 31.4² + ( 2 * - 9.8 * 30 )

v² = 985.96 - 588

v² = 397.96 m / s

KE = 1 / 2 m v²

KE = 1 / 2 * 0.155 * 397.96

KE = 0.0775 * 397.96

KE = 30.85 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy ( KE ) when it is 30.0 m above the ground is 30.85 J
