Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 15A
What is a geodesic?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain: The Geodesic.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The geometry of the earth on two-dimensional surface differs from the Euclidean geometry of the flat plane.
The line of shortest distance is Geodesic. The light beam follows a geodesic path across the planet. The freely falling objects, satellites follow the geodesic path.
Conclusion:
Geodesic means line of shortest distance.

(5 points) b) For the same electron gun, plot the dependence of the probe current on the parameter (dpa) for α = 2, 5, and 10 milliradian, respectively. Hint: use nm as the unit for the electron probe size and display the three plots on the same graph. (10 points)arrow_forward
