A scientist is carrying out an experiment to determine the index of refraction for a partially reflective material. To do this, he aims a narrow beam of light at a sample of this material, which has a smooth surface. He then varies the angle of incidence. (The incident beam is traveling through air.)
The light that gets reflected by the sample is completely polarized when the angle of incidence is 46.5°.
(a) What index of refraction describes the material?
n =
(b) If some of the incident light (at θi = 46.5°) enters the material and travels below the surface, what is the angle of refraction (in degrees)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 1.05

b) 43.6°

Explanation:

a) The index refraction that describes the material can be found using Brewster's law:

[tex] \theta_{1} = arctan(\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}) [/tex]

where:

n₁ is the refractive index of the initial medium through which the light propagates (air) = 1

n₂ is the index of the material=?

θ₁ = 46.5°    

[tex] n_{2} = n_{1}tan(\theta_{1}) = tan(46.5) = 1.05 [/tex]

Hence, the material's index refraction is 1.05.

b) The angle of refraction can be found as follows:

[tex] n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2}) [/tex]

[tex]sin(\theta_{2}) = \frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}} = \frac{sin(46.5)}{1.05} = 0.69[/tex]

[tex] \theta_{2} = arcsin(0.69) = 43.6^{\circ} [/tex]

Therefore, the angle of refraction is 43.6°.

I hope it helps you!

When light of wavelength 233 nm shines on a metal surface the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is 1.98 eV. What is the maximum wavelength (in nm) of light that will produce photoelectrons from this surface

Answers

Answer:

λmax = 372 nm

Explanation:

First we find the energy of photon:

E = hc/λ

where,

E = Energy of Photon = ?

λ = Wavelength of Light = 233 nm = 2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

h = Planks Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

Therefore,

E = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.33 x 10⁻⁷ m)

E = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, from Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

E = Work Function + Kinetic Energy

8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = Work Function + (1.98 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

Work Function = 8.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 3.168 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Work Function = 5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Since, work function is the minimum amount of energy required to emit electron. Therefore:

Work Function = hc/λmax

λmax = hc/Work Function

where,

λmax = maximum wavelength of light that will produce photoelectrons = ?

Therefore,

λmax = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5.332 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

λmax = 3.72 x 10⁻⁷ m

λmax = 372 nm

A charged capacitor and an inductor are connected in series. At time t = 0, the current is zero, but the capacitor is charged. If T is the period of the resulting oscillations, the next time, after t = 0 that the energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is a maximum is

Answers

Answer:

t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor

Explanation:

The circuit described is an oscillating circuit where the charge of the condensation stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular velocity of the oscillation is

          w = √1/LC

          2π / T =√1 / LC

          T = 2π  √LC

The energy is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor

         Uc = Q₀² / 2C

In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor

        U = L I² / 2

in the intermediate instant the energy is stored in the two elements.

Since the period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor

After t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation  (t = T/2).

The given problem is based on the charging and discharging concepts of capacitor. An oscillating circuit is a circuit where the charge of the capacitor stops the inductor and vice versa, in this system the angular frequency of the oscillation is given as,

[tex]\omega =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\\dfrac{2 \pi}{T} =\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\\\\\T = 2\pi \times \sqrt{LC}[/tex]

here, T is the period of oscillation.

 

Also, the energy stored in the capacitor is constant and for the initial instant it is completely stored in the capacitor. So, the energy stored is given as,

[tex]U =\dfrac{Q^{2}}{2C}[/tex]

here, C is the capacitance.

In the process, the capacitor is discharging and the energy is stored in the inductor until when the charge in the capacitors zero, all the energy is stored in the inductor. So, the expression for the energy stored in the inductor is,

[tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex]

here, L is the inductance and I is the current.

Note :- The period of the system is T for time t = 0 all energy is stored in the capacitor and for t = T / 2 all energy is stored in the inductor.

Thus, we conclude that after t = 0 the maximum energy stored in the magnetic field of the inductor is equal to [tex]U'=\dfrac{L I^{2}}{2}[/tex] for the time period, half of period of oscillation  (t = T/2).

Answers

Answer:

9.82 × [tex]10^{-35}[/tex] Hz

Explanation:

De Broglie equation is used to determine the wavelength of a particle (e.g electron) in motion. It is given as:

λ = [tex]\frac{h}{mv}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\lambda[/tex] represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

much would a 10-meter long (originally at oC) portion of the airplane expand? Write your final answer in centimeters and show all of your
work.

Answers

Answer:

2 cm.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Original Length (L₁ ) = 10 m

Initial temperature (T₁) = 0°C

Final temperature (T₂) = 400°C

Linear expansivity (α) = 5×10¯⁶ /°C

Increase in length (ΔL) =..?

Next, we shall determine the temperature rise (ΔT).

This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 0°C

Final temperature (T₂) = 400°C

Temperature rise (ΔT) =..?

Temperature rise (ΔT) = T₂ – T₁

Temperature rise (ΔT) = 400 – 0

Temperature rise (ΔT) = 400°C

Thus, we can obtain the increase in length of the airplane by using the following formula as illustrated below:

Linear expansivity (α) = increase in length (ΔL) /Original Length (L₁ ) × Temperature rise (ΔT)

α = ΔL/(L₁ × ΔT)

Original Length (L₁ ) = 10 m

Linear expansivity (α) = 5×10¯⁶ /°C

Temperature rise (ΔT) = 400°C

Increase in length (ΔL) =..?

α = ΔL/(L₁ × ΔT)

5×10¯⁶ = ΔL/(10 × 400)

5×10¯⁶ = ΔL/4000

Cross multiply

ΔL = 5×10¯⁶ × 4000

ΔL = 0.02 m

Converting 0.02 m to cm, we have:

1 m = 100 cm

Therefore, 0.02 m = 0.02 × 100 = 2 cm.

Therefore, the length of the plane will increase by 2 cm.

Explanation:

At the maximum height, the velocity is 0.

Given:

v₀ = 95 m/s

v = 0 m/s

In a double-slit experiment the distance between slits is 5.0 mm and the slits are 1.4 m from the screen. Two interference patterns can be seen on the screen: one due to light of wavelength 450 nm, and the other due to light of wavelength 590 nm. What is the separation in meters on the screen between the m = 5 bright fringes of the two interference patterns?

Answers

Answer:

 Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m

Explanation:

In double-slit experiments the constructive interference pattern is described by the equation

           d sin θ = m λ

In this case we have two wavelengths, so two separate patterns are observed, let's use trigonometry to find the angle

         tan θ = y / L

as the angles are small,

         tan θ = sin θ / cos θ = sin θ

substituting

         sin θ = y / L

         d y / L = m λ

         y = m λ / d L

let's apply this formula for each wavelength

λ = 450 nm = 450 10⁻⁹ m

m = 5

d = 5.0 mm = 5.0 10⁻³ m

      y₁ = 5 450 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³  1.4)

      y₁ = 3.21 10⁻⁴ m

we repeat the calculation for lam = 590 nm = 590 10⁻⁹ m

      y₂ = 5 590 10⁻⁹ / (5 10⁻³  1.4)

      y₂=  4.21 10⁻⁴ m

the separation of these two lines is

        Δy = y₂ - y₁

        Δy = (4.21 - 3.21) 10⁻⁴ m

        Δy = 1 10⁻⁴ m

A 750 gram grinding wheel 25.0 cm in diameter is in the shape of a uniform solid disk. (we can ignore the small hole at the center). when it is in use, it turns at a consant 220 rpm about an axle perpendicular to its face through its center. When the power switch is turned off, you observe that the wheel stops in 45.0 s with constant angular acceleration due to friction at the axle. What torque does friction exert while this wheel is slowing down?

Answers

Answer:

Torque = 0.012 N.m

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of wheel;m = 750 g = 0.75 kg

Radius of wheel;r = 25 cm = 0.25 m

Final angular velocity; ω_f = 0

Initial angular velocity; ω_i = 220 rpm

Time taken;t = 45 seconds

Converting 220 rpm to rad/s we have;

220 × 2π/60 = 22π/3 rad/s

Equation of rotational motion is;

ω_f = ω_i + αt

Where α is angular acceleration

Making α the subject, we have;

α = (ω_f - ω_i)/t

α = (0 - 22π/3)/45

α = -0.512 rad/s²

The formula for the Moment of inertia is given as;

I = ½mr²

I = (1/2) × 0.75 × 0.25²

I = 0.0234375 kg.m²

Formula for torque is;

Torque = Iα

For α, we will take the absolute value as the negative sign denotes decrease in acceleration.

Thus;

Torque = 0.0234375 × 0.512

Torque = 0.012 N.m

     D = vertical shift

By comparing the two formulas, we find

|A| = 3

 B = 2π/365

 C = 78

 D = 12

a. Period

P = 2π/B = 2π/(2π/365) = 2π × 365/2π = 365

The period is 365.

b. Amplitude

|A| = 3

The amplitude is 3.  

c. Horizontal shift

C= 78

The horizontal shift is 78.

d. Phase shift  (φ)

Ths phase shift is the horizontal shift expressed in radians.

φ = C × 2π/365 = 78 × 2π/365 ≈ 1.343

The phase shift is 1.343 rad.

e. Vertical shift

D = 12

The vertical shift is 12.

Maximum altitude to see(L) =  1.47 × 10⁶ m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength (λ) = 0.12 nm = 0.12 × 10⁻⁹ m

Pupil Diameter (d) = 4.1 mm = 4 × 10⁻³ m

Separation distance (D) = 5.4 cm = 0.054 m

Find:

Maximum altitude to see(L)

Computation:

Resolving power = 1.22(λ / d)

D / L = 1.22(λ / d)

0.054 / L = 1.22 [(0.12 × 10⁻⁹) / (4 × 10⁻³ m)]

0.054 / L = 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / 1.22 [0.03 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 0.054 / [0.0366 × 10⁻⁶]

L = 1.47 × 10⁶

2. Is his metabolic power more, less, or the same?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

(ΔK + ΔUg + ΔUs + ΔEch + ΔEth = W)

ΔK is increase in kinetic energy . As the athelete is lifting the barbell at constant speed change in kinetic energy is zero .

ΔK = 0

ΔUg  is change in potential energy . It will be positive as weight is being lifted so its potential energy is increasing .

ΔUg = positive

ΔUs is change in the potential energy of sportsperson . It is zero since there is no change in the height of athlete .

ΔUs = 0

ΔEth is change in the energy of earth . Here earth is doing negative work . It is so because it is exerting force downwards and displacement is upwards . Hence it is doing negative work . Hence

ΔEth = negative .

b )

work done by athlete

= 400 x 2 = 800 J

energy output = 800 J

c )

It is 25% of metabolic energy output of his body

so metalic energy output of body

= 4x 800 J .

3200 J

power = energy output / time

= 3200 / 1.6

= 2000 W .

d )

1 ) Since he is doing same amount of work , his metabolic energy output is same as that in earlier case .

2 ) Since he is doing the same exercise in less time so his power is increased . Hence in the second day his power is more .

A) Applying the energy equation

The positive terms is :   ΔUg The negative terms is :  ΔEth The zero term are :  ΔK  and ΔUs

B) The energy output by the athlete is ; 800 Joules

C) The metabolic power is : 2000 w

D) When he performs the task in 1.2 s

The metabolic energy he expends is : the same His metabolic power is :  more

Given data :

Weight of barbell = 400 N

Height = 2.0 m

Time = 1.6 secs

efficiency of the human body = 25%

Speed = constant

A) From the energy equation the ΔK is zero because the athlete is lifting the barbell at a constant speed. ΔUg is positive because as the weight is lifted its  potential energy increases.  ΔEth ( change in energy of earth ) is negative because it exerts a force in opposite direction to displacement

B)  Determine the energy output of the athlete

weight of barbell * Height  = 400 * 2 = 800 J

C) Determine the metabolic power

Metabolic power = energy output / Time

where ; energy output = 4 * 800 = 3200

∴ Metabolic power = 3200 / 1.6

                                = 2000 w

D) When performs same task at 1.2 s

The metabolic energy he expends is  the same  and His metabolic power is  more

Suppose you are planning a trip in which a spacecraft is to travel at a constant velocity for exactly six months, as measured by a clock on board the spacecraft, and then return home at the same speed. Upon return, the people on earth will have advanced exactly 120 years into the future. According to special relativity, how fast must you travel

Answers

Answer:

I must travel with a speed of 2.97 x 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

Sine the spacecraft flies at the same speed in the to and fro distance of the journey, then the time taken will be 6 months plus 6 months

Time that elapses on the spacecraft = 1 year

On earth the people have advanced 120 yrs

According to relativity, the time contraction on the spacecraft is gotten from

[tex]t[/tex] = [tex]t_{0} /\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]

where

[tex]t[/tex] is the time that elapses on the spacecraft = 120 years

[tex]t_{0}[/tex] = time here on Earth = 1 year

[tex]\beta[/tex] is the ratio v/c

where

v is the speed of the spacecraft = ?

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

substituting values, we have

120 = 1/[tex]\sqrt{1 - \beta ^{2} }[/tex]

squaring both sides of the equation, we have

14400 = 1/[tex](1 - \beta ^{2} )[/tex]

14400 - 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] = 1

14400 - 1 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]

14399 = 14400[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\beta ^{2}[/tex] =  14399/14400 = 0.99

[tex]\beta = \sqrt{0.99}[/tex] = 0.99

substitute β = v/c

v/c = 0.99

but c = 3 x 10^8 m/s

v = 0.99c = 0.99 x 3 x 10^8 = 2.97 x 10^8 m/s

Light of wavelength 500 nm falls on two slits spaced 0.2 mm apart. If the spacing between the first and third dark fringes is to be 4.0 mm, what is the distance from the slits to a screen?

Answers

Answer:

L = 0.8 m

Explanation:

Since, the distance between first and third dark fringes is 4 mm. Therefore, the fringe spacing between consecutive dark fringes will be:

Δx = 4 mm/2 = 2 mm = 2 x 10⁻³ m

but,

Δx = λL/d

λ = wavelength of the light = 500 nm = 5 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit spacing = 0.2 mm = 0.2 x 10⁻³ m

L = Distance between slits and screen = ?

Therefore, using the values, we get:

2 x 10⁻³ m = (5 x 10⁻⁷ m)(L)/(0.2 x 10⁻³)

L = (2 x 10⁻³ m)(0.2 x 10⁻³ m)/(5 x 10⁻⁷ m)

L = 0.8 m

Rank these electromagnetic waves on the basis of their speed (in vacuum). Rank from fastest to slowest.

a. Yellow light
b. FM radio wave
c. Green light
d. X-ray
e. AM radio wave
f. Infrared wave

Answers

Answer:

From fastest speed to slowest speed, the electromagnetic waves are ranked as(up to down):

d. X-ray

c. Green light

a. Yellow light

f. Infrared wave

b. FM radio wave

e. AM radio wave

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves produced as a result of vibrations between an electric field and a magnetic field. The waves have three properties and these properties are frequency, speed and wavelength, which are related by the relationship below

V = Fλ

where:\

V = speed (velocity)

F = frequency

λ = wavelength.

From the relationship above, it is seen that the speed of a wave is directly proportional to its frequency. The higher the frequency, the higher the speed. Therefore, from the list given, the waves with  the highest to lowest frequencies/ from left to right are:

X-ray (3×10¹⁹ Hz to 3×10¹⁶Hz), Green light (5.66×10¹⁴Hz), Yellow light (5.17×10¹⁴Hz), Infrared wave (3×10¹¹Hz), FM radio wave (10.8×10⁸Hz to 8.8×10⁷Hz), AM radio wave (1.72 × 10⁶Hz to 5.5×10⁵Hz).

This corresponds to the speed from highest to lowest from left to right.

The following equation is an example of

Answers

Answer:

Alp decay.

Explanation:

From the above equation, the parent nucleus 185 79Au produces a daughter nuclei 181 77 Ir.

A careful observation of the atomic mass of the parent nucleus (185) and the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei (181) shows that the atomic mass of the daughter nuclei decreased by a factor of 4. Also, the atomic number of the daughter nuclei also decreased by a factor of 2 when compared with the parent nucleus as shown in the equation given above.

This simply means that the parent nucleus has undergone alpha decay which is represented with a helium atom as 4 2He.

Therefore, the equation is an example of alpha decay.

An object is inside a room that has a constant temperature of 289 K. Via radiation, the object emits three times as much power as it absorbs from the room. What is the temperature (in kelvins) of the object

Answers

Answer:

T_object = 380.35 K

Explanation:

From Stefan–Boltzmann law, the power output is given by the formula:

P = σAT⁴

where;

σ is Stefan-Boltzmann constant

A is area of the radiating surface.

T is temperature of the body

Now, we are told that the power the object emitted is 3 times the power absorbed from the room.

Thus, we have;

P_e = 3P_a

Where P_e is power emitted and P_a is power absorbed.

So, we have;

σA(T_object)⁴ = 3σA (T_room)⁴

σA will cancel out to give;

(T_object)⁴ = 3(T_room)⁴

We are given T_room = 289 K

Thus;

(T_object)⁴ = 3 × 289⁴

(T_object) = ∜(3 × 289⁴)

T_object = 380.35 K

If the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave is in the +x-direction and the electric field of the wave is in the +y-direction, the wave is traveling in the

Answers

Answer:

The wave is travelling in the ±z-axis direction.

Explanation:

An electromagnetic wave has an oscillating magnetic and electric field. The electric and magnetic field both oscillate perpendicularly one to the other, and the wave travels perpendicularly to the direction of oscillation of the  electric and magnetic field.

In this case, if the magnetic field is in the +x-axis direction, and the electric field is in the +y-axis direction, we can say with all assurance that the wave will be travelling in the ±z-axis direction.

An intergalactic rock star bangs his drum every 1.30 s. A person on earth measures that the time between beats is 2.50 s. How fast is the rock star moving relative to the earth

Answers

Answer:

v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The time dilation consequence of the special theory of relativity shall be used here, From time dilation formula we have:

t = t₀/√[1 - v²/c²]

where,

t = time measured by the person on earth = 2.50 s

t₀ = rest time of the intergalactic rock star = 1.30 s

v = relative speed of the rock star = ?

Therefore,

2.5 s = (1.3 s)/√[1 - v²/c²]

√[1 - v²/c²] = 1.3/2.5

√[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52

[1 - v²/c²] = 0.52²

[1 - v²/c²] = 0.2074

v²/c² = 1 - 0.2074

v²/c² = 0.7926

v/c = √0.7926

v = 0.89 c

where,

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

v = (0.89)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)

v = 0.89 c = 2.67 x 10⁸ m/s

Ellen says that whenever the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position, the motion of the object is simple harmonic motion. Mary says this is true only if the acceleration is opposite in direction to the displacement. Which one, if either, is correct

Answers

Answer:

Both Ellen and Mary are correct.

Explanation:

Both are correct, it's just different ways of saying the same thing.

When the acceleration is always opposite in direction to the displacement, then, the acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement of an object from its equilibrium position

(Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz What frequency does the motorcyclist hear when stopped with the police car approaching at 61 mph (27.27 m/s)? (Enter your answer to at least the nearest integer. Assume the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.) Hz

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply formula of Doppler's effect

Here source is fixed and observer is approaching the source

f = f₀ x [(V + v ) / V ]

f₀ is original and f is apparent frequency , V is velocity of sound and v is velocity of motorcyclist .

f = 1000 x [(331 + 27.27 ) / 331 ]

= 1082 .4 Hz

This is the frequency heard by motorcyclist .

When police car is approaching him when he is stopped

f = f₀ x [V /(V - v ) ]

v is velocity of police car .

= 1000  x 331 / (331 - 27.27)

= 1090 Hz

Answers

Answer:

d) (CATA + CBTB) / (CA + CB)

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the final temperature of both objects is shown below:-

We assume T be the final temperature

while m be the mass

So it will be represent

m CA (TA - T) = m CB (T - TB)

or we can say that

CATA - CA T = CB T - CBTB

or

(CA + CB) T = CATA + CBTB

or

T = (CA TA + CBTB) ÷ (CA + CB)

Therefore the right answer is d
