Theoretically the speed of light c through vacuum is expressed as c = 1/√(Mo), E, and μ, are the electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of free space (vacuum). Therefore, for a medium with dielectric constant, the speed of light (v) should be expressed as O V = √(EoHo) / K Ov=1/K √(EoHo) v=1/√(K EoHo) Ov=K/√(EoHo)

- What is the energy of light having a frequency of (8.61x10^14)? Answer to 3 significant figures in scientific notation. Unit is case sensitive. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible. Your Answer: Answer X10 unitsA 1.00-m² solar panel on a satellite that keeps the panel oriented perpendicular to radiation arriving from the Sun absorbs 1.40 kJ of energy every second. The satellite is located at 1.00 AU from the Sun. (The Earth-Sun distance is approximately 1.00 AU.) How long would it take an identical panel that is also oriented perpendicular to the incoming radiation to absorb the same amount of energy, if it were on an interplanetary exploration vehicle 2.85 AU from the Sun? SA distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 655.6 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 661.9 nm. (a) Decide whether this galaxy is approaching or receding from the earth. (b) Find the speed of the galaxy relative to the earth. (Give your answer to 4 significant digits. Use 2.998 × 108 m/s as the speed of light.)

(a) Decide whether this galaxy is approaching or receding from the earth. (b) Find the speed of the galaxy relative to the earth. (Give your answer to 4 significant digits. Use 2.998 × 108 m/s as the speed of light.) (a) The galaxy is receding (b) Number i 2.2541 x 10^6 ✓from the earth. Units m/s(a) Approximately how long would it take a telephone signal to travel 2790 mi from coast to coast across the United States? (Telephone signals travel at about the speed of light.)=_________ seconds(b) Approximately how long would it take a radio signal to reach the International Space Station (ISS) at an orbital altitude of 350 km?=_________ secondshow would you solve this? Light is emitted from the light source, reflects from mirror surface X to the plane mirror, and then to the position of surface Z. By the time the light moves from the X to Z position, mirror surface X will have moved to the position of mirror surface Z. The light then continues to the observer. The distances from the light source and the observer to the rotating mirrors are negligible. The distance from the rotating mirrors to the plane mirror is 35.0 km.If the mirrors are rotating at 480 rev/s, the speed of light calculated from the given information is a 7.44 10–9 m/s b 1.34 108 m/s c 2.98 10–8 m/s d 3.36 107 m/s
