Who Would Hear Earlier
Miss Rogers taught physics in a New Youk School.Last month she was explaining to one of her classes about sound, and she decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She said to them,”Now,I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone, and at the same time you were 75feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you-and for what reason?”
The smartest student at once answered,”your brother, Miss rogers, because elect ricity travels faster than sound waves.”
“That’s very good,”Miss rogers answered;but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss rogers said, “yes, Debbie?”
“I disagree,” Debbie said. “your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s eleven o’clock here, it’s only eight o’lock in los angeles.”
誰先聽到
羅杰斯小姐在紐約的一所中學里教物理。上個月的一堂物理課上，她正在對她的學生們解釋聲音的傳播，她想弄清楚自己的講解是不是成功，于是她對學生們說：“現在，我的弟弟正在洛杉磯。如果我給他打電話，在這同時你們距我75英尺遠，站在街對面聽我講話。你們和我弟弟誰先聽到我說話呢？是什么原因？”
一個聰明的學生馬上回答說：“是您的弟弟，羅杰斯小姐。因為電比聲波傳得快。”
“很好”羅杰斯小姐說，但是一個女生突然舉起了受。羅杰斯小姐對那個女生說，“什么事，黛比”
“我不同意，”黛比說，“你的弟弟先聽得到是因為當時這里是11點，而洛杉磯才剛剛早上8點。”
