A railway-line testing-team checking a continuous rail of length 250 m. One tester strikes one end of the rail with a hammer. The other tester hears the sound transmitted through the air and transmitted through the rail. He hears the two sounds at different times. [The speed of sound in steel is 5000 m/s and in air is 330m/s.] b) As the sound wave passes from the end of the beam steel into air.
State the effect of that on
the frequency of the sound………………………………………

If two metal balls each have a charge of -10^-6 c and the repulsive force between them is 1 n, how far apart are they? (coulomb's constant is k = 9.0x 10^9 n-m^2/c^2? 9.5 m 9.0 mm 9.5 cm 0.9 m .

Scientists use laser range-finding to measure the distance to the moon with great accuracy. a brief laser pulse is fired at the moon, then the time interval is measured until the "echo" is seen by a telescope. a laser beam spreads out as it travels because it diffracts through a circular exit as it leaves the laser. in order for the reflected light to be bright enough to detect, the laser spot on the moon must be no more than 1.0 km in diameter. staying within this diameter is accomplished by using a special large-diameter laser. part a if λ = 540nm , what is the minimum diameter of the circular opening from which the laser beam emerges? the earth-moon distance is 384,000 km. express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
