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.”
谁先听到
罗杰斯小姐在纽约的一所中学里教物理。上个月的一堂物理课上，她正在对她的学生们解释声音的传播，她想弄清楚自己的讲解是不是成功，于是她对学生们说：“现在，我的弟弟正在洛杉矶。如果我给他打电话，在这同时你们距我75英尺远，站在街对面听我讲话。你们和我弟弟谁先听到我说话呢？是什么原因？”
一个聪明的学生马上回答说：“是您的弟弟，罗杰斯小姐。因为电比声波传得快。”
“很好”罗杰斯小姐说，但是一个女生突然举起了受。罗杰斯小姐对那个女生说，“什么事，黛比”
“我不同意，”黛比说，“你的弟弟先听得到是因为当时这里是11点，而洛杉矶才刚刚早上8点。”
