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.

A runner is jogging in a straight line at a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

13 km

Explanation:

The bird flies from the runner, to the finish line, and back to the runner.  We can write two equations for the distance it travels:

d = 7.8 km + 7.8 km − 4.9 km/hr × t

d = 24.5 km/hr × t

Solve for t in the second equation and substitute into the first:

t = d / 24.5

d = 7.8 + 7.8 − 4.9 (d / 24.5)

d = 15.6 − 0.2 d

1.2 d = 15.6

d = 13

The bird flies a cumulative distance of 13 km.

Thoughts about Genetically Modified Crops
Alex787 [66]
I think that GMOs, also known as genetically modified crops or organisms, can be used in good and bad ways. They can provide crops to survive longer, and produce a bigger portion. However, on the other side of that, it is claimed that it creates a large amount of greenhouse gas emissions, which can turn into climate change.

Physics problem: piston? The piston of a hydraulic automobile lift is 0.300 m in diameter. 1. What gauge pressure, in pascals, i
k0ka [10]
Pressure is given by:
P=F/A
force=1200*10=12000 N
Area=pi*r^2=3.14*0.15^2
=0.07065 m^2
Thus;
P=12000/0.7065
P=169,851.38 N/m^2
but
1 N/m^2=1 Pa
thus our pressure is:
169,851.38 Pa

On your drive home from school, you travel 1200 m in 80 s, then 400 min 20 s.
Mama L [17]

Average speed = Total distance/total time taken

=  \frac{1200 + 400}{80 + 20}

=  \frac{1600}{100}

=  \frac{16}{1}

= 16 \: ms {}^{ - 1}
