33. Bruno is standing upon the edge of the water with his high-powered laser gun, waiting to zap the next visible fish with a burst of laser light. Frieda deFish, located a distance of 2.17 m out from shore, hopes to hide from view by ducking behind a small lily pad. If Bruno's laser is located 0.850-m above the ground and the lily pad is 1.39 m from shore, then to what depth below the water must Frieda descend in order to be hidden from view? (Given: n = 1.33) A. .93 mB. 1.86 mC. 2.79 mD. 1.36
3.Which wavelength range does the green line of the mercury lamp belong to: 600-700 nm, 500-600 nm, or 400-500 nm, or 300-400nm?
In a radio interferometer with two dishes, the distance between the two dishes determines the a. magnifying power b. light-gathering power. c. resolving power. d. level of interference from terrestrial radio sources. e. energy distribution.
1. The gas cloud known as the Crab Nebula can be seen with even a small telescope. It is the remnant of a supernova, a cataclysmic explosion of a star. The explosion was seen on earth on July 4, 1054 AD. The streamers glow with the characteristic red color of heated hydrogen gas. In a laboratory on the earth, heated hydrogen produces red light with a frequency 4.568 × 10¹4 Hz; the red light received from the streamers in the Crab Nebula pointed toward the earth has frequency 4.586 × 10¹4 Hz. (a) Estimate the speed with which the outer edges of the Crab Nebula are expanding. Assume that the speed of the center of the nebula relative to the earth is negligible. (b) Assuming that the expansion speed has been constant since the supernova explosion, estimate the diameter of the nebula. (c) The angular diameter of the Crab Nebula as seen from earth is about 5 arc minutes (1 arc minute = 1/60 of a degree). Estimate the distance (in light years) to the Crab Nebula and estimate the year in…

You wish to study the radio emission from the sun at wavelength 1.70 cm. In order to see details on the sun’s surface no larger than the diameter of the earth, the limit of resolution of the telescope must be 9.00 x 10-5 rad (about 0.005°). Using the Rayleigh criterion, find (a) the minimum diameter your radio telescope must have and (b) the limit of resolution of this telescope at wavelength 21.1 cm.
