In example 18. 4 of the text, the deflection angle of the laser beam as it exits the prism is 22. 6º. If the prism had been made

of glass instead of polystyrene plastic, what would the deflection angle have been?.

The deflection angle would have been 37.29º if the prism had been made of polystyrene plastic.

As we know that the deflection angle is an angle between the moving object from its directed course.

In the following question the deflection angle as laser enters the beam is, B = 22.6º

refractive index of glass, n1= 1.52

refractive index of polystyrene plastic, n2 = 1.59

Now when we see for the second surface then ,

B = 45º - 22.6º

B = 22.40º

So from Snell's law:

n1 sinθ1 = n2 sinθ2

→ sin B / sinθ = n1 / n2

sinθ = (sin 22.40º) × ( 1/ 1.59)

θ = 37.29º

Thus, the deflection angle should be 37.29º if the prism is made of polystyrene plastic.

Just how strong is the electric force? suppose you had two small boxes, each containing 1.0 g of protons. (a) if one were placed

vlabodo [156]

Let's use Newton's Law of Second Motion: F=ma. When no other direct force is acting on the system, the acceleration is due to the gravity. The modified equation becomes: F = mg. So, yes, you need to take into account the gravitational accelerations in the moon and on Earth.

g,moon = 1.622 m/s²
g,Earth = 9.81 m/s²

The net force is the tension of the string:

F,Earth - F,moon = Tension
Tension = (1/1000 kg)(9.81 m/s²) - (1/1000 kg)(1.622 m/s²)
Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N

To convert, 1 pound force is equal to 4.45 Newtons:

Tension = 8.188×10⁻³ N * 1 lbf/4.45 N
Tension = 1.84×10⁻³ lbf

Add a vector whose magnitude is 13 with angle 27 degrees to one whose magnitude is 11 with angle 45 degrees? Put the length firs

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$

Explanation:

Magnitude of first vector = $|A| = 13\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_1=27^{\circ}$

Magnitude of second vector = $|B| = 11\ \text{units}$

Angle = $\theta_2=45^{\circ}$

x component of first vector

$A_{x}=|A|\cos\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_x=13\cos27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_x=11.6\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$A_{y}=|A|\sin\theta_1\\\Rightarrow A_y=13\sin27^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=5.9\ \text{units}$

x component of second vector

$B_{x}=|B|\cos\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_x=11\cos45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow B_x=7.8\ \text{units}$

y component of first vector

$B_{y}=|B|\sin\theta_2\\\Rightarrow B_y=11\sin45^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow A_y=7.8\ \text{units}$

Adding the magnitudes

$C_x=A_x+B_x=11.6+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_x=19.4\ \text{units}$

$C_y=A_y+B_y=5.9+7.8\\\Rightarrow C_y=13.7\ \text{units}$

Magnitude of the sum of the vectors would be

$|C|=\sqrt{C_x^2+C_y^2}\\\Rightarrow |C|=\sqrt{19.4^2+13.7^2}=23.75\ \text{units}$

The direction would be

$\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{C_y}{C_x}\\\Rightarrow \theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{13.7}{19.4}\\\Rightarrow \theta=35.23^{\circ}$

The magnitude of the vector is $23.75\ \text{units}$ and the direction is $35.23^{\circ}$

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a s

baherus [9]

Given that,

Central maximum = 1 cm

Distance from the window shade to the wall =4 m

We know that,

The visible range of the sun light is 400 nm to 700 nm.

(a). We need to calculate the average wavelength

Using formula of average wavelength

$\lambda_{avg}=\dfrac{\lambda_{1}+\lambda_{2}}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda_{avg}=\dfrac{400+700}{2}$

$\lambda_{avg}=550\ nm$

(b). We need to calculate the diameter of the pinhole

Using formula for diameter

$w=\dfrac{2.44\lambda L}{D}$

$D=\dfrac{2.44\lambda L}{w}$

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{2.44\times550\times10^{-9}\times4}{1\times10^{-2}}$

$D=0.537\ mm$

Hence, (a). The average wavelength 550 nm.

(b). The diameter of the pinhole is 0.537 mm.

What role does your chosen reaction play in your life? Combustion

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

When fuels burn in combustion reactions, they release useful thermal energy (heat). Combustion reactions are used to heat our homes, power most cars, and to generate a lot of our electricity.

Energy production from the reaction is what drives life and human greed. We stay alive by eating carbon-rich compounds, which are then burned in a spectacularly controlled and efficient manner to provide us with energy. It is the all-important energy term in the combustion equation that has made life on Earth possible
