Chapter 26, Problem 76RPP
To determine

The option which is the closest to the distance of Earth from 3C 273 quasar in terms of Earth-Sun distance, from the given options, when the quasar is receding from Earth at a speed of about 0.16c and emits the radiation with the power of 2×1013 Suns, the distance between the Sun and Earth is 1.5×1011 m, and the Sun emits the energy at a rate of 3.8×1026 J/s by converting 4.3×109 kg/s of mass into light. The value of Hubble’s constant is 70.8 km/sMpc.

a.  103 Sun distances

b.  106 Sun distances

c.  109 Sun distances

For an independent study project, you design an experiment to measure the speed of light. You propose to bounce laser light off a mirror that is 53.5 km due east and have it detected by a light sensor that is 119 m due south of the laser. The first problem is to orient the mirror so that the laser light reflects off the mirror and into the light sensor. (a) Determine the angle that the normal to the mirror should make with respect to due west.(b) Since you can read your protractor only so accurately, the mirror is slightly misaligned and the actual angle between the normal to the mirror and due west exceeds the desired amount by 0.003°. Determine how far south you need to move the light sensor in order to detect the reflected laser light.
A mirror hangs 1.67 m above the floor on a vertical wall. A ray of sunlight, reflected off the mirror, forms a spot on the floor 1.41 m from the wall. Later in the day, the spot has moved to a point 2.50 m from the wall. (a) What is the change in the angle of elevation of the Sun, between the two observations?
It is not (theta 1i) or (pi/2 - theta 2i)
