There's no such thing as a wave of white light. Every light wave with
a certain wavelength has some color. White light is a mixture of all
the different wavelengths with all of the different visible colors.
They're ALL there in white light. When they all enter your eye at
the same time, your brain gets the message of brightness with
no particular color, which we call "white light".
Answer:
As atoms in the spoon vibrates about their equilibrium positions and transfer energy form one end to other end. This process is called conduction.
A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.
England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.
For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge. It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM. Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.
The catch in observing the eclipse is:
<em><u>YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN</u></em>.
Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though <em><u>you don't feel it while it's happening</u></em>.
This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours. Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".
Answer:
One would need to know how far apart the towns are:
T = SA / 40 time it takes for first cyclist to travel S1
T = SB / 60 time it takes for cyclist B to travel distance S2
SA + SB = S the distance between the towns
SB = 60 / 40 SA = 1.5 SA
SA + 1.5 SA = S
S = 2.5 SA where cyclist travels distance SA
The time will depend on the separation of the towns.
