You watch a distant lady driving nails into her front porch at a regular rate of 2 strokes per second. You hear the sound of the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Since the lady is capable of delivering 2 strokes in 1 second, we know that it takes 0.5 seconds for one stroke of the hammer.

It is given that one more blow is heard even after she is seen as stopping hammering. This means that the sound from the last blow reached us a little later: 0.5 seconds after the last blow.

So, we know that time taken for the sound from the last blow to reach us t = 0.5 s

Speed of Sound is given as V = 340 m/s

Distance of the lady from us D = ?

Using the equation D = V.t, we get D = (340)(0.5) = 170 m

Thus, we can understand that the lady is 170 meters away from us.

What is the wavelength in nm of a light whose first order bright band forms a
scoundrel [369]

The wavelength of the first order bright band light light is 714 nm .

Explanation:

We have to find the wavelength of the first order brightness of a light. Here we are using Huygen's principle of light.

The formula is

nλ =d sinθ

where, n is the order of maximum

            λ is the wavelength of light

            d is the distance between the lines on diffraction grating.

            θ is the angle.

For the given equation n is 1 because the problem states that the light forms 1st order bright band

  λ  is unknown.

d = \frac{1}{700,000} or 0.0000014 m

sin (30) = 0.5

so,

1(λ) = (0.0000014)(0.5)

     = 0.0000000714

     = 714 nm

Thus, The wavelength of the first order bright band light light is 714 nm .

You want to make a photo album for your friend. In three to five sentences, describe at least one advantage and one disadvantage
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

if it were to be digital then you would be able to carry it around where ever and look at it to remind you of the memories, however it probably wouldnt last as long as the physical one. eg if you phone breaks there is a chance to restore the photo but you would had to have backed it up beforehand.
