प्रश्न
A new unit of length is chosen such that the speed of light in vacuum is unity. What is the distance between the Sun and the Earth in terms of the new unit if light takes 8 min and 20 s to cover this distance?
उत्तर
Speed of light in vacuum, c = 1 new unit of length s-1
Time taken by light to cover the distance between sun and the earth.
Time taken, t = 8 min 20 s = 500 s
∴ Distance between the Sun and the Earth = c × t
= 1 new unit of length × 500 s
= 500 new units of length

Explain this statement clearly:
“To call a dimensional quantity ‘large’ or ‘small’ is meaningless without specifying a standard for comparison”. In view of this, reframe the following statements wherever necessary:
- Atoms are very small objects
- A jet plane moves with great speed
- The mass of Jupiter is very large
- The air inside this room contains a large number of molecules
- A proton is much more massive than an electron
- The speed of sound is much smaller than the speed of light.
A famous relation in physics relates ‘moving mass’ m to the ‘rest mass’ m0 of a particle in terms of its speed v and the speed of light, c. (This relation first arose as a consequence of special relativity due to Albert Einstein). A boy recalls the relation almost correctly but forgets where to put the constant c. He writes:
`m = m_0/(1-v^2)^(1/2)`
Guess where to put the missing c.
