How long should it take the voices of astronauts on the Moon to reach the Earth? Assume that the only significant time is the transit time from the Earth to the Moon, at the speed of light. Suppose that the astronaut on the surface of the Moon, the receiver on the surface of the Earth, and the centers of the Earth and the Moon are aligned. The distance between the centers of the Earth and the Moon is 384×103km, the radius of the Earth is 6.38×103km, the radius of the Moon is 1.74×103km.
If the magnetic field of a light wave oscillates parallel to a y axis and is given by By = Bm sin(kz- vt), (a) in what direction does the wave travel and (b) parallel to which axis does the associated electric field oscillate?

- how 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/sarrow_forwardA planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.
