The look like of moon a few days before the new moon to an observer looking up during a lunch break.
Answer to Problem 1CC
Solution:
The moon looks like a waning crescent with a slight illumination on the moons left side.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The moon revolves around the earth from one night to another night. During this time, a different portion of the moon that is half illuminated is observed. These distinct appearances of the moon are termed as lunar phases.
The position in which the moon is hardly seen is called the new moon. A new moon is situated close to the sun in the sky, so it rises and sets with sunrise and sunset respectively. The position in which the moon is completely observed is termed as the full moon.
Explanation:
The above figure depicts the different position of the moon. The moon takes around 4 weeks to finish the cycle of phases starting from the new moon and ending to full moon and then again to the new moon. So, the moon takes 4 weeks to complete one orbit around earth. A few days before the new moon, the moon is visible only during day time. An observer looking up during a lunch break observes this moon as a waning crescent with a little bit illumination on the moon’s left side.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the moon looks like a waning crescent with a slight illumination on the moon’s left side.

Consider the situation described in problem 1 where light emerges horizontally from ground level. Take k = 0.0020 m' and no = 1.0001 and find at which horizontal distance, x, the ray reaches a height of y = 1.5 m.arrow_forward2-3. Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay. (Answer: 0.40 cm)please I need to show all work step by step problems 2 and 3arrow_forward

As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
