When lighting strikes a lighting rod the last place the charges flow is?

When lightning strikes a lightning rod, the last place the charges flow is into the ground through the metal rod, which provides a safe path for the electrical current. This helps protect the building from damage by directing the energy away from the structure and into the ground.


What takes longer to reach earth light from the sun or light from other stars?

Light from the sun because all light travels at the same speed, and the sun is the closest star to the earth, so therefore the light from the sun reaches the earth before light from other (further away) stars


The nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri which is 4.3 light-years away If light leaves this star in 2020 when will it reach Earth?

If light leaves Proxima Centauri in 2020, it will take 4.3 years to reach Earth. Therefore, the light will arrive on Earth in the year 2024.


How do you figure out how many sec min hrs it takes for a radio wave to reach a star that is 5 light years away?

The answer is right there in the words of the question. Radio and light are the same physical phenomenon, and they travel at the same speed. The star is 5 light years away. That means the distance that light ... and radio ... travel in five years. It takes light from the star 5 years to reach us, and it takes radio from us 5 years to reach the star.


How many years will it take something 8000 light years away to reach earth?

An object that is 8,000 light years away from Earth will take 8,000 years to reach us if it travels at the speed of light. Since nothing can travel faster than light according to our current understanding of physics, this distance would require that same amount of time, 8,000 years, for light (or anything traveling at that speed) to cover the distance to Earth.

What is the path of light when it strikes a lens?

When light strikes a lens, it is refracted (bent) either towards or away from the lens depending on its initial direction and the shape of the lens. This refraction causes the light rays to converge or diverge, which helps to focus the light at a specific point called the focal point.
