If you wish to take a picture of a bullet traveling at 500 m/s, then a very brief flash of light produced by an RC\text{RC} discharge through a flash tube can limit blurring. Assuming 1.00 mm of motion during one RC\text{RC} constant is acceptable, and given that the flash is driven by a 600-μF\text{600}-\mu\text{F} capacitor, what is the resistance in the flash tube?
