complete question:
An observer at the top of a 462-ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°. What is the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground? Round to the nearest foot
Answer:
a ≈ 5281 ft
Explanation:
The observer at the top of a 462 ft cliff measures the angle of depression from the top of the cliff to a point on the ground to be 5°.
The angle of depression form the top of the cliff = 5°
The 5° is outside the triangle formed . To find the angle in the triangle we have to subtract 5° from 90°. 90° - 5° = 85° Note sum of an angle on a right angle is 90°.
using SOHCAHTOA principle we can solve for the distance from the base of the cliff to the point on the ground(a)
tan 85° = opposite / adjacent
tan 85° = a / 462
cross multiply
462 × tan 85° = a
a = 11.4300523 × 462
a = 5280.66 ft
a ≈ 5281 ft
Answer:
False
Explanation:
As we know that, the Balmer series gives the n values as,
.
![[tex]n_{f}=3,4,5,.....\infty](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Btex%5Dn_%7Bf%7D%3D3%2C4%2C5%2C.....%5Cinfty)
.
Now the value of wavelength can be calculated as,
.
Here, 
.
And 
.
Now,
.
Therefore,
Therefore, the wavelength of Balmer series lies in visible region which is 547 nm.
Answer:
Statement 2 is wrong
Explanation:
To check the statements in this exercise, let's describe the main properties of electromagnetic waves. Let's describe the characteristics
* they are transverse waves
* formed by the oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields
* the speed of the wave is the speed of light
with these concepts let's review the final statements
1) True. Formed by the oscillation of the two fields
2) False. They are transverse waves
3) True. Can travel by vacuum as they are supported by oscillations of the electric and magnetic fields
4) True. They all have the same speed of light
Statement 2 is wrong
