- what is the frequency of a light of wavelength 7.4 x 10^-7 m?A light shines from the top of a pole 50 ft high. A ball is dropped from the same height from a 1 point 30 ft away from the light. How fast is the shadow of the ball moving along the ground sec 2 later? (Assume the ball falls a distance s = 16t² in t sec.) The shadow is moving at a velocity of (Type an integer or a decimal.) ft/sec. 50-ft pole 0 30 Ball at time t=0 1 2 sec later Shadow X x(t)In the 1670s, Ole Rømer observed eclipses of the Galilean satellite Io as it is plunged through Jupiter’s shadow once per orbit. He noticed that the time between observed eclipses became shorter as Jupiter came closer to the Earth and longer as Jupiter moved away. Rømer calculated that the eclipses were observed 17 minutes earlier when Jupiter was in opposition compared to when it was close to conjunction. This was attributed by Rømer to the finite speed of light. From Rømer’s data, compute the speed of light, first inAU min−1, and then inm s−1.
