To begin with it was believed that light transmitted instantaneously. However now we know that light just moved to fast to be seen.
The first successful measurement was in 1676, by a man named Roemer. He came up with a measurement that light moved a 214,000 km/s. Which was a very approximate evaluation.
Another measurement was obtained in 1728, by a man named James Bradley, he came up with his measurement by observing stellar aberrations. He came up with a value of 301,000 km/s.
In 1849 Fizeau, he used a beam of light and a mirror, he got a value of 315,000 km/s. Foucault improved this measurement a year later, using rotating mirrors he got a more accurate value of 298,000 km/s.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1.082 mm

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that we were given The following

Wavelength of the atoms, λ = 502 nm = 502*10^-9 m

Radius of the screen away from the double slit, r = 1.1 m

We know that Y(20) = 10.2 mm = 10.2*10^-3 m

d = (20 * R * λ) / Y(20)

d = (20 * 1.1 * 502*10^-9)/10.2*10^-3

d = 1.1*10^-5 / 10.2*10^-3

d = 1.082 mm

Therefore, we can say that the distance of separation between the two slits is 1.082 mm

How much energy does the electron have initially in the n=4 excited state?what is the change in energy if the electron from part
Ierofanga [76]
What it looks to be that you found in A was the "initial"...b/c the question asks: 
<span>"how much energy does the electron have 'initially' in the n=4 excited state?" </span>

<span>"final" would be where it 'finally' ends up at, ie. its last stop...as for this question...the 'ground state' as in its lowest energy level. </span>

The answer comes to: <span>−1.36×10^−19 J</span>


You use the same equation for the second part as for part a. 
<span>just have to subract the 2 as in the only diff for part 2 is that you use 1squared rather than 4squared & subract "final -initial" & you should get -2.05*10^-18 as your answer. </span>

A capacitor is being charged from a battery and through a resistor of 10 kΩ. It is observed that the voltage on the capacitor ri

Answer:

C = 2.48 \times 10^{-4} Farad

Explanation:

As per the equation of voltage on capacitor we know that

V = V_{max}(1 - e^{-\frac{t}{\tau}})

now we know that voltage reached to its 80% of maximum value in 4 second time

so we will have

0.80 V_{max} = V_{max}(1 - e^{-\frac{4}{\tau}})

0.20 = e^{-\frac{4}{\tau}}

-\frac{4}{\tau} = ln(0.20)

-\frac{4}{\tau} = -1.61

\tau = 2.48

as we know that

\tau = RC

(10 k ohm)(C) = 2.48

C = 2.48 \times 10^{-4} Farad
