Radio telescopes beam radio waves into space. To calculate the speed of the radio waves in space, which information, if any, is

necessary?
Physics
1 answer:
Anastaziya [24]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

No more information is needed

Explanation:

Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.

A wire is wrapped around a piece of iron, and then electricity is run through the wire. What happens to the iron?
katrin [286]
Search Results<span>By simply wrapping wire that has an electrical current running through it around a nail, you can make an electromagnet. When the electric current moves through a wire, it makes a magnetic field. ... You can make a temporary magnet by stroking apiece of iron or steel (such as a needle) along with a permanent magnet.

Our milky way galaxy is 100000 lyly in diameter. a spaceship crossing the galaxy measures the galaxy's diameter to be a mere 1.
Sidana [21]

The speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.

A light-year measures distance rather than time (as the name might imply). A light-year is a distance a light beam travels in one year on Earth, which is roughly 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers). One light-year equals 5,878,625,370,000 miles. Light moves at a speed of 670,616,629 mph (1,079,252,849 km/h) in a vacuum.We multiply this speed by the number of hours in a year to calculate the distance of a light-year (8,766).

The Milky way galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter.

The galaxy's diameter is a mere 1. 0 ly.

We know that ;

L = L_0 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

L = 1 light year

L₀ = 100,000 light year

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

1 = 100,000 \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{(3*10^8)^2} }

\frac{1}{100,000}  = \sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} }

v = 0.999999995 c

Therefore, the speed of the spaceship relative to the galaxy is 0.99999995c.
