How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​

Physics
1 answer:
Norma-Jean [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.

It took 50 J to move a shopping cart 5 meters. With what force what is the shopping cart moved
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

10 N

Explanation:

Use the equation W=Fd, where W is the work (in joules), F is the force (in newtons), and d is the distance (in meters).'

W=Fd\\50=F(5)\\F=10 N

Because of the anode heel effect, where is the intensity of the x-ray beam the greatest?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Along the anode-cathode axis

Explanation:

The Anode Heel Effect, in an X-ray tube states that the direction of emission of X-rays by the anode along the cathode-anode axis causes a variation in the intensity of X-rays.

The geometry of the anode causes the X-ray emitted perpendicular to the cathode-anode axis less intense than the X-rays emitted towards the cathode along the axis.

The sun is 1.5 × 108 km from Earth. The index of refraction for water is 1.349. How much longer would it take light from the sun
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

175s

Explanation:

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  vacuum

C=light speed=299792458m/s

X=1.5x10^8km=1.5x10^11m

c=X/t

T1=X/c

T1=1.5X10^11/299792458=500.34s

time it takes sunlight to reach the earth in  water:

First we calculate the speed of light in water taking into account the refractive index

Cw=299792458m/s/1.349=222233104.5m/s

T2=1.5x10^11/222233104.5m/s=675s

additional time it would take for the light to reach the earth

ΔT=T2-T1=675-500=175s

Consider a particle moving along the x-axis where x(t) is the position of the particle at time t, x' (t) is its velocity, and x'
nignag [31]

The position of the particle is given by:

x(t) = t³ - 12t² + 21t - 9

Differentiate x(t) with respect to t to find the velocity x'(t):

x'(t) = 3t² - 24t + 21

Differentiate x'(t) with respect to t to find the acceleration x''(t):

x''(t) = 6t - 24
