Question
Chapter 26, Problem 83RCQ
To determine
For a person walking on a certain pace, across a room of known length, we can calculate her walking speed. If she stops along the way to greet others, the extra time spent gives an average speed across the room which is less than walking speed. We need to explain how the person walking in a room is similar to light passing through glass and in what way does it differ?
