It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.
Answer:
Part a)
A = 0.066 m
Part b)
maximum speed = 0.58 m/s
Explanation:
As we know that angular frequency of spring block system is given as

here we know
m = 3.5 kg
k = 270 N/m
now we have


Part a)
Speed of SHM at distance x = 0.020 m from its equilibrium position is given as



Part b)
Maximum speed of SHM at its mean position is given as
