Refraction occurs when a wave enters a new medium at an angle because

Physics
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
4 0

Answer

The refracted wave must obey Snell's equation

Ni sin θi = Nr sin θr

If Nr differs from Ni then sin θr  will differ from sin θi

If the wave originates from point A and ends at point B then Snell's Law shows that the time for light to get from point A to point B is a minimum.

victus00 [196]
B) in Physics, charge conservation is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electrical charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe is always conserved.

The magnetic coils of a tokamak fusion reactor are in the shape of a toroid having an inner radius of 0.700 m and an outer radiu
iragen [17]

Answer:

(a) 11.3 T

(b) 6.09 T

Explanation:

Current, I = 14 kA = 14000 A

number of turns, N = 900

inner radius, r = 0.7 m

outer radius, R = 1.3 m

The magnetic field due to a circular coil is given by

B = \frac{\mu o}{4\pi}\times \frac{2 N\pi I}{R}

(a) The magnetic field due to the inner radius is

B = 10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times 900\times 3.14\times 14000}{0.7}\\\\B = 11.3 T

(b) The magnetic field due to the outer radius is

B = 10^{-7}\times \frac{2\times 900\times 3.14\times 14000}{1.3}\\\\B = 6.09 T

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The value is y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is d_p  =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \  m

The distance of the page from the eye d =  29 \  cm  =  0.29 \  m

The wavelength is \lambda  =  500 \ nm =  500 *10^{-9} \  m

The refractive index is n_r =  1.36

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d

         y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29

         y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m

This is due by 11:59 PM tonight.
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

1. increases

2. increases

3. increases

Explanation:

Part 1:

First of all, since the box remains at rest, the horizontal net force acting on the box must equal zero:

F1 - fs = 0.

And this friction force fs is:

fs = Nμs,

where μs is the static coefficient of friction, and N is the normal force.

Originally, the normal force N is equal to mg, where m is the mass of the box, and g is the constant of gravity. Now, there is an additional force F2 acting downward on the box, which means it increases the normal force, since the normal force by Newton's third law, is the force due to the surface acting on the box upward:

N = mg + F2.

So, F2 is increasing, that means fs is increasing too.

Part 2:

As explained in the part 1, N = mg + F2. F2 is increasing, so the normal force is thus increasing.

Part 3:

In part 1 and part 2, we know that fs = Nμs, and since the normal force N is increasing, the maximum possible static friction force fs, max is also increasing.
