In the lab, a student is investigating the effects of texting and driving on reaction time. A student determines his/her reaction time by having a friend release a meter stick at
random intervals while the driver sends text messages. The student, on average,
catches the meter stick after it has traveled 0.64 m.
How far will the student
travel in a car moving at 25 m/s horizontally before reacting?
9.0 m
0.64 m
69 m

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle  

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.

explanation:

density =m/v

density =917/3.00

density = 305.

approximately = 305.7
